On the Enhancement of the Long-Term Washability of e-Textile Realized with Electrically Conductive Graphene-Based Inks
2025
Overview
This research explores the development of highly durable flexible electronic textiles (e-textiles) for wearable electronics, focusing on improving their washability and performance. A conductive graphene-based ink was screen-printed onto a polyester textile. Water-based polyurethane (PU) coatings with variable crosslinker ratios and thickener were applied to solve washability issues. The results show that the PU coatings significantly enhanced the electrical stability and durability of the printed pathways after multiple washing cycles. The conductivity remained intact after 120 washing cycles, indicating that the final properties of the e-textile, which contained 6 wt% thickener and 3 wt% crosslinker, provided effective water protection. The results highlight the promise of these coated e-textiles for wearable electronics applications, especially in the occupational and healthcare sectors, where long-term flexibility and washability are critical.
