Electrically conductive textile e.g. polyester fabric, for use in pressure measuring insole, has electrical conductive structures spatially distinguished from non-conductive regions, where textile is provided with coating or fibers

摘要

The textile (100) has geometrical-shaped electrical conductive structures (200) spatially distinguished from non-conductive regions of the textile, where the textile is provided with a conductive coating or conductive fibers. The structures functions as capacitor surfaces of capacitive pressure sensors and are formed in rectangular or oval shape. The textile is applied with ink using an inkjet printer and moistened with rinsing agent and sodium hydroxide solution before printing the textile. The surfaces are connected to an electronic evaluation device by print image terminal contacts (202). An independent claim is also included for a method for manufacturing electrical conductive structures in a textile.
