Highly Conductive Yarns-Revolutionizing Smart Clothing!
Highly Conductive Yarns-Revolutionizing Smart Clothing! Smart clothing represents the fusion of fashion and functionality. This trend is going forward using the development of highly conductive yarns and threads. Threads and yarns that include conductive metals are redefining how we can interact with our clothing. Metal wires were too subject to stress failures, not to mention that they were not comfortable in clothing. The marriage of technology and comfort of conductive textiles elevate the wearability of smart clothing. Sensors can be...

Technical Embroidery-Conductive Yarn “Wires”!
Technical Embroidery-Conductive Yarn "Wires"! Smart clothing requires durable conductive wires! I'm asking you to "think outside the box" when it comes to the term "wire". In the case of clothing a classic "metal wire" leaves quite a bit to be desired. It is rigid and doesn't like the movements of the human body. Flexing a metal wire leads to stress cracks, and ultimately failure of the wire. Additionally, metal wires in clothing are not exactly "comfortable" for the wearer, we...

Conductivity, Flexibility, and Durability-TPU Yarn!
Conductivity, Flexibility, and Durability-TPU Yarn! We usually think of metallic wires to carry current in electronics. When we talk about smart clothing, metal wire has many drawbacks. Flexibility is very important in clothing, people move in many directions, wire doesn't! Wire is great with conductivity, but not great at repetitive flexing! In fact, constant flexing causes stress cracks and failure of metal wires, which is not acceptable in smart clothing. Clothing has to move smoothly and comfortably, paralleling the movement...

Wellness-does Clothing play a Role?
Wellness-does Clothing play a Role? Wellness is an active process through which people become aware of, and make choices toward, a more successful existence. I like this definition because it allows people to be "well" though they may be clinically "sick". V Technical Textiles, Inc. markets "Wellness Clothing". I do believe that clothing can play a factor in wellness. Clothing can make people feel better about themselves by providing them comfort and a positive self-image. Our "Wellness Clothing" makes people...
