| description | The integration of electronics into textiles has gained considerable attention in recent years, due to the development and high demand of wearable and flexible electronics. One of the promising fields is healthcare, which often involves the utilization of textile-based electrodes. These electrodes often offer advantages such as conformability, breathability, and comfort. This article presents the development of 3D-formed textile-based electrodes together with a narrow fabric-based interconnect system. This study showcases the methods and materials for the fabrication of the textile-based electrodes and the interconnect system, including a durability assessment, by performing standardized washing (ISO 6330-2012) and user tests. The results demonstrated that the developed 3D-formed textile-based electrodes and stretchable interconnect system are durable and effective for wearable applications, maintaining performance under extensive washing. |
