| Abstract: | 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. |
