Washability of E-Textiles: Failure Modes and Influences on Washing Reliability

E-textiles, hybrid products that incorporate electronic functionality into textiles, often need to withstand washing procedures ensure textile typical usability. Yet, the washability—which is essential for many e-textile applications like medical or sports due hygiene requirements—is still insufficient. The influence factors damage in integrated electronics as well common weak points are not extensively researched, which makes a targeted approach improve washability e-textiles difficult. As step towards reliably washable e-textiles, this review bundles existing information and findings on topic: summary of failure modes brought about by influencing parameters affect e-textiles. paper can be utilized development systems with an improved washability.
