Resumen:
|
This paper deals with the interaction between conductive inks and nonwoven substrates, to produce circuits and embedded systems for vital signs monitoring, and wearable computers. The performance metrics related to the circuits are impacted by the ink viscosity, contact angle of the ink on the surface of the nonwoven structure that dictates the manner in which the ink distributes into the substrate. The competition between in-plane versus through-the-plane distribution of the ink is ultimately responsible for the quality of the printed media. As a demonstration of principle, an ECG monitoring system has been designed, fabricated, and integrated into a garment made from a nonwoven material suited to the application. At this stage the ECG system is interfaced to a Palm Pilot computer for data gathering, data interpretation, and data transmission. Trials are continuing.
