There are an incredible array of possible applications for printed electronics (PE), and almost as many ways to actually produce PE systems. For textile and other flexible applications, conductive fibers are one potentially successful approach.
Conductive fibers historically have played a role in innovation, dating back to the use of a carbonized sewing thread used as a filament in Thomas Edison's light bulb. This was the first filament that met Edison’s needs for resistance and life span.
Conductive fibers consist of a non-conductive or less conductive substrate, which is then either coated or embedde
