Circuitex - Conductive Energy Material
Circuitex Conductive Energy Material is soft, lightweight, and flexible making it easy and comfortable to integrate detection, monitoring, and/or transmission of data into products, garments, and accessories. In medical applications, Circuitex yarns can be knit or woven into smart diagnostic garments and used to sense and transmit electrophysiological signals to a healthcare professional or data analysis app. In consumer apparel, Circuitex can be used for collecting data, delivering stimulus, storing energy, or controlling temperature, among other things. In biometric monitoring, Circuitex materials can detect and transmit information about sleeping patterns and weight distribution or can alert healthcare professionals about hot spots on patients who are confined to a bed or wheelchair. In electronic applications, soft, foldable Circuitex can replace metal wire to transmit data or conduct energy. The applications are endless.
Highest Quality Conductivity
Silver has the highest electrical conductivity of all metals. In fact, silver defines conductivity and all other metals are compared against it. On a scale of 0 to 100, with silver representing 100, copper measures at 97 and gold at 76. Because 100% of the Circuitex surface area is permanently coated in silver, Circuitex conductivity performance is second to none. What’s more, every millimetre of yarn is inspected by Noble Biomaterials to ensure the highest quality continuous conductivity.
How Circuitex Is Made
- 99.9% pure silver is permanently bonded to the surface of a non-conductive polymer, such as nylon.
- The pure silver covers a 100% surface area of the fiber, which then creates a highly conductive and uniform product – the Circuitex yarn. The silver coating does not change the flexibility or durability of the polymer.
- Various grades of Circuitex are used in a fabric in order to customize the desired conductive end use.
