Dataset supporting the publication "Improving durability and electrical performance of flexible printed e-textile conductors via domestic ironing"

This dataset explores how domestic ironing is used to repair and restore the electrical resistance of printed conductors damaged by prolonged bending and washing cycles. The results of reliability tests on screen-printed conductors on two polyurethane-coated fabrics and on six different laminate sheets adhered to the fabrics revealed that ironing significantly enhances the electrical performance of the conductors, limiting the change in electrical resistance to less than 20% after 400,000 bending cycles and to less than 1Ω after fifty wash cycles.

The results showed that the sample could be left for 24 hours for “self-relaxation” and would also return to the original value, implying that for future wear, either immediate ironing or leaving the garment for a period between uses could effectively ‘fix’ any bending or washing damage
