New conductive ink for electronic apparel
Tokyo, Japan (SPX) Jun 28, 2015
University of Tokyo researchers have developed a new ink that can be printed on textiles in a single step to form highly conductive and stretchable connections. This new functional ink will enable electronic apparel such as sportswear and underwear incorporating sensing devices for measuring a range of biological indicators such as heart rate and muscle contraction. Current printed electronics, such as transistors, light emitted diodes and solar panels, can be printed on plastic or paper substrate ... read more
