Abstract

Due to constant advancements in materials research, conductive textile-based materials have been used increasingly in textile-based wearables. However, due to the rigidity of electronics or the need for their encapsulation, conductive textile materials, such as conductive yarns, tend to break faster around transition areas than other parts of e-textile systems. Thus, the current work aims to find the limits of two conductive yarns woven into a narrow fabric at the electronics encapsulation transition point. The tests consisted of repeated bending and mechanical stress, and were conducted using a testing machine built from off-the-shelf components. The electronics were encapsulated with an injection-moulded potting compound. In addition to identifying the most reliable conductive yarn and soft–rigid transition materials, the results examined the failure process during the bending tests, including continuous electrical measurements.
