Nagase ChemteX America LLC - Stretchable, Wearable and Washable Inks: Meeting the Requirements for Next-Generation Electronic Textiles

Nagase ChemteX America has been developing high-performance screen printable conductive inks for over 20 years, continuously advancing materials science to support the evolving landscape of flexible electronics. As modern electronic textiles (e-textiles) transition from functional prototypes to seamless, everyday wearables, formulating materials that can endure severe mechanical and environmental stress is paramount.
This presentation highlights recent developments in conductive and dielectric inks specifically developed for e-textile integration. We will explore key material design strategies focused on reaching target functional performance without sacrificing user comfort.
