Advanced Institute New Technology - Selective Precious Metal Electroplating on Stretchable Fabrics

Advanced Institute (Shenzhen) Technology Co., Ltd. has announced a new technology for highly conductive selective electroplating on both sides of stretchable fabrics. Potential uses include consumer products/professional wearable products, medical devices, military/aerospace and automotive critical components.

The new method can directly form conductive patterns and circuits on both sides of a flexible fabric substrate. This production process is achieved through pure silver metallization, which will improve the performance and reliability of component products, while reducing the overall cost of the production process.
Design engineers who use electroplating on stretchable fabrics or their final component designs will benefit from the technical characteristics of this production process, such as stretchability and washability. These improvements can address the common issues faced by low current flexible circuits, LEDs/lighting, and sensors used in medical and automotive equipment, as well as wearable electronic devices.

The chief researcher of Advanced Institute (Shenzhen) Technology Co., Ltd. said, "Traditional conductive ink screen printing processes often fail when subjected to pressure, while this new method has more advanced technology

The method of electroplating on stretchable fabrics has successfully passed rigorous tests on stretching and washing cycles, demonstrating no significant adverse effects on conductivity.

Advanced Institute Company is applying relevant technologies to ready to use products such as selectively electroplated coils or sensors. Value added services include die-cutting, lamination, wire connection, LED layout, and battery application. The company will provide full support to customers from feasibility, product design to mass production.
