20.500.12556/DKUM-93253 Metallisation of textiles and protection of conductive layers: An overview of application techniques The rapid growth in wearable technology has recently stimulated the development of conductive textiles for broad application purposes, i.e., wearable electronics, heat generators, sensors, electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding, optoelectronic and photonics. Textile material, which was always considered just as the interface between the wearer and the environment, now plays a more active role in different sectors, such as sport, healthcare, security, entertainment, military, and technical sectors, etc. This expansion in applied development of e-textiles is governed by a vast amount of research work conducted by increasingly interdisciplinary teams and presented systematic review highlights and assesses, in a comprehensive manner, recent research in the field of conductive textiles and their potential application for wearable electronics (so called e-textiles), as well as development of advanced application techniques to obtain conductivity, with emphasis on metal-containing coatings. Furthermore, an overview of protective compounds was provided, which are suitable for the protection of metallized textile surfaces against corrosion, mechanical forces, abrasion, and other external factors, influencing negatively on the adhesion and durability of the conductive layers during textiles’ lifetime (wear and care). The challenges, drawbacks and further opportunities in these fields are also discussed critically. metallization conductive textiles e-textiles coatings techniques protective coatings durability metalizacija prevodne tekstilije elektroprevodne niti e-tekstilije elektronske tekstilije pametne tekstilije prenos signalov tehnike premazov zaščitni premazi trajnost true false true MDPI Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik https://www.mdpi.com/journal/sensors © 2021 by the authors Članek v reviji 2025-06-16 11:09:15 2025-06-16 11:09:15 2025-06-17 03:09:18 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2021 0 0 str. 1-28 iss. 10 (3508) Vol. 21 May 2021 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 2021-04-19 2021-05-15 2021-05-18 677.017:004.9 64062211 10.3390/s21103508 1424-8220 sensors-21-03508.pdf sensors-21-03508.pdf 1 E43F3E1C61245FCF126BD730E9CE3614 4f9b43ba6b7562f851b9eea1e66505e2e36ee47128c612eba20a90db8b214df1 aa07117a-4a92-11f0-a2f6-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=192249 https://www.mdpi.com/1424-8220/21/10/3508 0 afc87a8e-4a92-11f0-a2f6-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=192250 Fakulteta za strojništvo Fakulteta za elektrotehniko, računalništvo in informatiko 0 0 0
