The contributors represent a distinguished international panel of experts and the book covers many aspects of cutting edge research and development. Smart fibres, fabrics and clothing starts with a review of the background to smart technology and goes on to cover a wide range of the material science and fibre science aspects of the technology. It will be essential reading for academics in textile and materials science departments, researchers, designers and engineers in the textiles and clothing product design field. Product managers and senior executives within textile and clothing manufacturing will also find the latest insights into technological developments in the field valuable and fascinating. Wearable electronics and photonics (ISBN-13: 978-1-85573-605-4; ISBN-10: 1-85573-605-5) Building electronics into clothing is a major new concept which opens up a whole array of multi-functional, wearable electro-textiles for sensing/monitoring body functions, delivering communication facilities, data transfer, individual environment control, and many other applications. Fashion articles will carry keypads for mobile phones and connections for personal music systems; specialist clothing will be able to monitor the vital life signs of new-born babies, to record the performance of an athlete’s muscles, or to call a rescue team to victims of accidents in adverse weather conditions. A team of distinguished international experts considers the technical materials and processes that will facilitate all these new applications.

Box 378 Jimma, Ethiopia; [email protected] 3 Ethiopian Institute of Textile and Fashion Technology, Bahir Dar University, 6000 Bahir Dar, Ethiopia * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +32-465570635 Received: 5 November 2020; Accepted: 1 December 2020; Published: 3 December 2020 Abstract: In the last three decades, the development of new kinds of textiles, so-called smart and interactive textiles, has continued unabated. Smart textile materials and their applications are set to drastically boom as the demand for these textiles has been increasing by the emergence of new fibers, new fabrics, and innovative processing technologies. Moreover, people are eagerly demanding washable, flexible, lightweight, and robust e-textiles. These features depend on the properties of the starting material, the post-treatment, and the integration techniques. In this work, a comprehensive review has been conducted on the integration techniques of conductive materials in and onto a textile structure. The review showed that an e-textile can be developed by applying a conductive component on the surface of a textile substrate via plating, printing, coating, and other surface techniques, or by producing a textile substrate from metals and inherently conductive polymers via the creation of fibers and construction of yarns and fabrics with these.

Traditionally the techniques used to create conductive textiles are conductive fibers, treated conductive fibers, conductive woven fabrics and conductive ink. The technologies to print conductive ink on textile materials are still under progress of development thus this study is to investigate the feasibility of printing conductive ink using manual, silk screen printing and on-shelf modified ink jet printer. In this study, the two points probe resistance test (IV Resistance Test) is employed to measure the resistance for all substrates. The surface finish and the thickness of the conductive inks track were measured using the optical microscope. The functionality of the electronics structure printed was tested by introducing strain via bending test to determine its performance in changing resistance when bent. It was found that the resistance obtained from manual method and single layer conductive ink track by silkscreen process were as expected. But this is a different case for the double layer conductive ink tracks by silkscreen where the resistance acquired shows a satisfactory result as expected.

Being an indispensable part of these electronics, lightweight, stretchable and wearable power sources are strongly demanded. Here we describe a daily-used nylon lycra fabric coated with polypyrrole as electrode for stretchable supercapacitors. Polypyrrole was synthesized on the fabric via a simple chemical polymerization process with ammonium persulfate (APS) as an oxidant and naphthalene-2,6-disulfonic acid disodium salt (Na2NDS) as a dopant. This material was characterized with FESEM, FTIR, tensile stress, and studied as a supercapacitor electrode in 1.0 M NaCl. This

Detailed Materials and Fabrication of STATs 1.1 Laser Fabrication Methods Material patterning for smart thermally actuating textiles (STATs) was done using vector cutting on a laser cutter. All laser cutting was performed using a 60-Watt CO2 laser (VLS 6.60, Universal Laser Systems) with the 2.0 lens. According to the manufacturer, this lens has a focal length of 50.8 mm, a focal spot size of approximately 0.13 mm, and a 2.54-mm depth of focus which define the width, w, of the zone of ablation. The width was measured to be approximately 200 µm with the system configuration in this work (Figure S1). Figure S1. (A) Schematic and (B) SEM image indicating zone of ablation and width. 1 1.2 Textile Heater Fabrication Joule heaters were incorporated on the interior of STATs. For the active heating material, woven silver-plated nylon (Shieldex Bremen Ripstop, V Technical Textiles Inc.) was adhered to a 5 μm double-sided adhesive (3M #82600 5 μm electronic double-sided tape, Bristol Tape Corporation).

  • Electrically Conductive Textile Coatings
    Electrically conductive textile coatings with PEDOT:PSS Maria Åkerfeldt Copyright © Maria Åkerfeldt Research School of Textiles and Fashion Faculty of Textiles, Engineering and Business University of Borås ISBN 978-91-87525-39-1 (tryckt) ISBN 978-91-87525-40-7 (pdf) ISSN 0280-381X, Skrifter från Högskolan i Borås, nr. 56 Printed in Sweden by Ale Tryckteam, Bohus 2015 ABSTRACT In smart textiles, electrical conductivity is often required for several functions, especially contacting (electroding) and interconnecting. This thesis explores electrically conductive textile surfaces made by combining conventional textile coating methods with the intrinsically conductive polymer complex poly(3,4-ethylene dioxythiophene)-poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS). PEDOT:PSS was used in textile coating formulations including polymer binder, ethylene glycol (EG) and rheology modifier. Shear viscometry was used to identify suitable viscosities of the formulations for each coating method. The coating methods were knife coating, pad coating and screen printing. The first part of the work studied the influence of composition of the coating formulation, the amount of coating and the film formation process on the surface resistivity and the surface appearance of knife-coated textiles. The electrical resistivity was largely affected by the amount of PEDOT:PSS in the coating and indicated percolation behaviour within the system. Addition of a high-boiling solvent, i.e. EG, decreased the surface resistivity with more than four orders of magnitude. Studies of tear strength and bending rigidity showed that textiles coated with formulations containing larger amounts of PEDOT:PSS and EG were softer, more ductile and stronger than those coated with formulations containing more binder.

In this article the results of a test of developed textile electro-conductive paths obtained by applying the method of screen printing pastes containing silver nanoparticles and carbon (graphene, nanotubes, graphite) are presented. Conducted research included analysis of the adhesion test, as well as evaluation of the surface resistance before and after the washing and bending cycles. Obtained results indicated that the samples with the content of carbon nanotubes 3% by weight in PMMA on substrate made of aramid fibers (surface mass of 260 g/m2) were characterized by the best adhesion and the best resistance to washing and bending cycles. Such electro-conductive paths have potential to be used in smart clothing applications. Citation: Tabaczy´nska,A.; D ˛abrowska, A.; Słoma, M.
