“…The modest approach involves knitting, integrating, or embroidering copper tape, conducting wires (such as silver or aluminum), or conductive yarns into a slice of clothing [77,78]. The other widespread technique comprises the incorporation of e-textiles (usually copper-or copper-nickel-plated nonwoven fabrics) with textile fabrics by thermally activated thermal sheets [79].…”

E-textiles (electronic textiles) are fabrics that possesses electronic counterparts and electrical interconnects knitted into them, offering flexibility, stretchability, and a characteristic length scale that cannot be accomplished using other electronic manufacturing methods currently available. However, knitting is only one of the technologies in e-Textile integration. Other technologies, such as sewing, embroidery, and even single fiber-based manufacture technology, are widely employed in next-generation e-textiles. Components and interconnections are barely visible since they are connected intrinsically to soft fabrics that have attracted the attention of those in the fashion and textile industries. These textiles can effortlessly acclimatize themselves to the fast-changing wearable electronic markets with digital, computational, energy storage, and sensing requirements of any specific application. This mini-review focuses on recent advances in the field of e-textiles and focuses particularly on the materials and their functionalities.

In this paper, we propose a textile metamaterial absorber that using screen printing technology. A unit cell of the proposed absorber is motivated from the commercial Chanel logo for wearable applications. The complex impedance of the designed unit cell is analyzed by full-wave simulation. To verify its performance, the proposed metamaterial absorber is fabricated where the silver conductive ink is screen printed on an ordinary textile. From experimental results, the absorptivity of the proposed absorber is around 93 % at 10. . 메타물질 흡수체는 무한히 주기적인 단위구조로 구현되 기 때문에 필요한 공간에 적용시키기 쉽다. 게다가 기존 의 페라이트와 같은 전자파 흡수체와는 달리, 부피가 작 으며 얇은 두께임에도 불구하고 100 %에 가까운 흡수율 을 가질 수 있다 [2] . 이러한 장점을 바탕으로 메타물질 흡 수체는 다양한 응용 분야에 적용되고 있으며, 특히 곡면 형 구조에 적용시키기 위해 PDMS(polydimethylsiloxane) [3] , 필름 [4] , 폴리이미드(polyimide) [5] 와 같은 유연성을 가지는 기판을 활용한 유연한 흡수체가 활발히 연구되고 있다.한편, 웨어러블 디바이스에 적용시키기 위해 직물에 전도성 물질을 사용하여 전자 기기를 구현하는 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 예를 들면 웨어러블 전자소자의 에너지 밀도를 증가시키기 위한 yarn 슈퍼커패시터가 제안되었 으며 [6] , 인간의 생체 신호를 실시간으로 감시할 수 있는 센서가 제안되었다 [7] . 이러한 웨어러블 디바이스는 일반 직물 원단에 전도성 도체 폴리머 섬유를 구현하거나 [8] , ⓒ

“…Several papers have been published addressing the design of a specific sensor [3][4] [5] or a specific antenna [6] [7] [8] [9] on textile substrate and some publications have been devoted to characterize and model the fabrics [10] and demonstrate the functionally of e-textile as an electromagnetic shielding [11]. Most of these research works overlay these electronic devices on the fabrics by means of embroidery textile techniques [12][13] or printed techniques [14].…”
