Wearable electronic textiles (e‐textiles) can provide comfortable and unobtrusive solutions for a wide range of applications, but insufficient reliability can prevent a wider market success. Washability is a critical reliability concern, especially for textile integrated circuits that are permanently attached to the textile substrate. Due to the combined stresses during washing and drying procedures, achieving satisfactory washing reliability while trying to maintain the textile properties of the e-textile can be challenging.
Apart from the washing method itself, the washability of e-textiles is influenced by a wide range of parameters: the textile substrates and their properties, the type and specifics of the textile circuit, the integration method used to permanently fix the circuits to the textile as well as the interconnection of the circuits with other components of an e-textiles system.
The session will provide valuable insight into how and at which points textile integrated circuits need to be optimized to improve their washability. We will explore the interactions between textile properties, circuit types and assembling methods and the resulting influences on washing reliability. The session will provide strategies for the development of more robust and reliable e‐textiles that are able to withstand (domestic) washing procedures.

Promotion Session 2 You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
