“…are installed on rigid and specific sized objects. To move forward in the area of etextiles, these electronic parts are being integrated on a textile substrate including wearable clothing to make wearable electronic structures [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. Integration of electronics and cooperation of this industry with the textile industry to produce e-textile products based on specific user requirements is supposed to be booming in the near future this industry [9].…”

“…It is important to know how to use existing industrial processes, or to develop new ones that are able to scale up production, ensuring the behavior and performance of prototypes. Despite the technical challenges, there are already some examples of wearable e-textiles where sensors, actuators, and production techniques were used to seamlessly embed electronic features into traditional wearable textiles, which allow for daily use without a bionic stigma [3][4][5][6][7][12][13][14]. E-textile systems can be used for detection of numerous signals from their environment (personal and external) and for sending data remotely to databases (clouds), besides, to responding to the specific stimuli [12,15,16].…”

a b s t r a c tThe washability issue is always a challenge for electronic textiles in terms of application. It reduces their reliability, makes them not robust enough, and therefore not ready for the market. In this study, a novel protocol was designed to test the performance of conductive threads under wet situation in order to simulate the washing cycle. In this content, two commercially available silver-plated polyamide threads having the same thread count were used and washing results of each thread were discussed. Transmission lines with silver-plated polyamide threads onto cotton woven fabric were produced via sewing (single-line stitch) and embroidery techniques (three-line stitch) to improve the conductivity and robustness. For the simulation of the wash process, Martindale abrasion tester was used under wet and dry conditions. Moreover, felts of abrasion tester and transmission lines were put into different solutions, i.e., water, water with standardized detergent and water with commercially available detergent. After wetting specimens, abrasion tests were performed on transmission lines, and linear electrical resistance measurements were recorded with the multi meter before abrasion and every 1500 cycles up to 4500 cycles in wet conditions and also after drying the transmission lines. Finally, abrasion impact on silver-plated polyamide threads was investigated by optical microscope. It has been found that silver coating on the conductive thread was damaged when subjected to abrasion cycles, especially in wet states. Water itself has stress impact on samples provoking the electrical resistance increase rapidly. Commercial detergent with water was found to have the most damaging effect on the conductive threads because of extra particles presence to enhance the washing performance. In terms of integration methods, better electrical conductivity values were achieved in three-line embroidery transmission lines due to multiple interconnection points in the embroidery network.

An electronic sensor card for aerospace applications is presented. The device uses infrared technology to transmit measurements toward a central unit. It has been designed following a low power consumption strategy which allows the use of a mini photovoltaic panel supplier. The card could be efficiently used in structures which ensure the line of sight between the card and a central receiver unit as inflatable structures. The device has been realized and tested.
