Abstract
Many long-awaited advances in electronics hinge on the development of cost-effective yet reliable methods of applying conductive features to unusual substrates. Here we focus on photoselective patterning on fabric substrates with an eye towards advancing flexible electronics and smart textiles. Electroless plating of fibers and fabrics is well established, but selective metallization is currently far less developed, creating unnecessary obstacles for the development and production of technologies that wish to fully utilize novel organic substrates. Nano3D Systems presents a system for photopatterning commonly available fabrics that is based on a well-known one-step tin/palladium sensitization/activation system.
