Creation of electro-conductive paths and patterns by screen printing on textile bases

This article presents a number of possible approaches to creating electro-conductive paths and patterns on flat textiles with various structures and raw material compositions. A modifier was selected and the process of creating the electro-conductive paths by screen printing was optimized. The result of this process was evaluated by the measurement of surface resistance and by microscopic analysis using scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The durability of the obtained effect was evaluated by analyzing electro-conductive paths after multiple washing cycles and after rubbing.
