Özet

This study was conducted to investigate printing techniques used in electronic textile applications and to examine the application conditions, advantages and disadvantages of the conductive inks used in these printing processes. This research is a conceptual framework designed to examine conductive inks within the scope of electronic textiles and their importance. In the study, it is seen that by printing of silver doped conductive ink on flexible materials, radio frequency identification (RFID, electromyography (EMG) and variety of sensors are designed. It was evaluated that screen printing and inkjet printing techniques are most familiar printing applications.
