Abstract
Abstract The article describes research into the transmission properties of textile signal lines (TSLs) made using ultrasonic welding technology. The presented TSLs are made from electroconductive, nickel coated, fabric strips welded between non-conducting textile layers. The article presents an analysis of the usability of the ultrasonic welding method for creating TSLs. This analysis shows that direct welding of an electroconductive path with the substrate increases its linear resistance, making it impossible to create a properly functioning line. This article presents an alternative method of creating the line using ultrasound welding technology.
Highlights
The development of the textile signal lines (TSLs) is an important part of the creation of e-textiles
The “very good” quality of the weld means that the bonding strength exceeds the breaking strength of the fibers of the electroconductive path
The “correct” quality of the weld means that separating the electroconductive path and substrate is possible without destroying the electroconductive fibers
Summary
The development of the textile signal lines (TSLs) is an important part of the creation of e-textiles. The term “e-textiles” refers to a broad field of products and studies that extend the functionality and usefulness of common textiles. An example of the e-textile is clothing with the implementation of electronic systems. In this type of product, electronic modules are usually placed in different places. Using conventional signal lines in the form of copper wires for connecting these modules have many disadvantages, the high rigidity of the lines and clothing in which they are applied. TSLs due to their flexibility are a modern alternative to conventional lines
