We are pleased to report on our latest research and developments in the field of textile electronics.
As part of the project Knittronic, flexible, stretchable and washable electrical leads have been created on a textile basis. By developing appropriate production technologies, we have succeeded in warping conductive yarns individually and in combination and producing conductive structured knitted fabrics by integrating conductive yarns.
This exceeds current standards and creates new possibilities in the textile industry.
We see a wide range of possible applications:
- Heating textiles: For even and pleasant heat distribution.
- Illuminated textiles: For creative and functional lighting.
- Sensor textiles: For precise and integrated sensor solutions.
- Technical clothing: For professional applications with high wearing comfort.
- Health textiles: For support and monitoring in the medical sector.
- Sports and fitness clothing: To improve performance and comfort.
- Safety clothing: For increased protection and functionality in high-risk environments.
Feel free to contact us and let`s break new ground in textile electronics.
