The research focuses on:

  • development of electroconductive yarns and sewing threads based on special electroconductive (metal, metalized) fibres using twisting technology on multifunctional twisting device DirecTwist 2B
  • application of the electroconductive yarns to the assortment of textile fabrics
  • development of passive textile sensors and active electrodes with incorporated electronics as indicators of electric signals generated by human body, designed to sense human vital functions, such as heart activity (ECG), body temperature, patient position monitoring etc.
  • construction of data conductors and power cords designed to connect the textile electrodes with a control and communication unit

Technology
Multifunctional twisting device Direct Twist 2B

The automatic multifunctional twisting device with 2 independent twisting heads and with programmable adjustment is intended to twist and wrap spun yarns and filaments, including elastane, creating one blended yarn.

The technology is used to create electroconductive blended yarns and sewing threads, incorporating special ultrathin metal or metalized fibres, suitable for manufacture of electroconductive textiles. Textile sensors and electrodes, made from the electroconductive textiles, incorporated into construction of clothing and/or product (e.g. mattress topper) are a functional component of an integrated sensing system, designed for  human  biomedicinal data monitoring (e.g. ECG, pulse, body temperature etc.) in real time.
