Development of Low Cost Stretchable Conductive Yarns for Electronic Textile Applications

Due to the exponential growth of electronic textiles, the development of low cost stretchable conductive yarns has become increasingly crucial. In this study, a low cost stretchable conductive yarn is being developed by directly coating the stretchable yarns with a stretchable conductive ink. Some of the preliminary results on the stretchability of the conductive yarns being developed are reported in this paper.
