From the Toolbox: Conductive Materials — LOOMIA Soft Electronics

06 Nov.,2023

 

Conductive fabrics are non-woven materials that can be used for electromagnetic and resistive heating applications. They feel like felt and are wire-free; making them lightweight and flexible. You can even puncture or cut the fabric, and it still functions.  

Conductive fabrics could be considered e-textiles in that they possess several of the qualities e-textiles do. They consist of conductive elements, are textile-based, and can emit and provide sensing capabilities.  

The applications for this fabric are wide ranging; from medical wearables to aerospace interiors. One of our favorite projects to feature conductive fabric is a homemade button. You can find a tutorial for making your own button component here. Or, buy a ready-made Loomia Single Backlit Button on Sparkfun.  

Can be: Sewn, woven, cut, braided, or bonded with adhesive
