Characterization of Resistance Change in Stretchable Silver Ink Screen Printed on TPU-Laminated Fabrics Under Cyclic Tensile Loading

Sutton, Corey R 01 June 2019 (has links) (PDF)
A stretchable silver ink was screen printed to TPU sheets, then tensile coupons of the TPU, both bare and laminated to cotton, Denim and spandex fabric, were subjected to 1000 cycles of 20% uniaxial strain. In-situ resistance measurements of printed traces were processed to generate datasets of maximum and minimum resistance per cycle. A mechanistic fit model was used to predict the resistance behavior of the ink across TPU/fabric levels. The results show that traces strained on TPU laminated to spandex (polyester) fibers had an average rate of increase in resistance significantly lower than that of traces strained on bare TPU. The variation in predicted resistance was significantly lower in the spandex group than in the TPU group. Trace width was not found to have a significant effect on the resistance behavior across TPU/fabric groups. More testing is required to understand the effect of lamination to high elasticity fabrics on resistance behavior as it relates to the viscoelastic properties of the fibers and weave structure.
