The selective metallisation of textiles is becoming a very important process in the development of electronic or e-textiles. This study investigated the efficacy of polymer coatings for the protection of copper (Cu) conductive tracks electroless plated on polyester (PES) fabric against laundering and rubbing, without essentially affecting the physical-mechanical and optical properties of the base material. After the electroless deposition of a consistent layer of Cu onto PES, four polymers were applied individually by screen-printing or padding. The physical-mechanical characterisation of coated textiles revealed that polyurethane resin (PUR) and modified acrylate resin (AR) had little effect on the air permeability, tensile strength and breaking tenacity of the PES, as compared to silicone elastomer polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and epoxy resin (ER). On the other hand, PUR and PDMS had higher abrasion resistance and photo-stability under prolonged UV irradiation, as compared to AR and ER. In addition, freshly Cu plated samples were coated with polymers, washed up to 30 cycles and characterised by measuring their electrical resistivity, determination of colour changes and the examination of the surface morphology. Based on these results, PUR presented the most suitable protection of Cu tracks on PES, with the lowest impact on physical-mechanical properties. ER is not recommended to be used for protection of Cu tracks on fabrics, due to its rigidity, low photo-stability, washing and wear durability.

Electrocardiography (ECG) is one of the most widely used diagnostic methods to examine heart situations. This paper focuses on the development of a textile-based electrode and the study its ECG-detecting performance. We developed silver-printed textile electrodes via a the flat-screen printing of silver ink on knitted polyester fabric. The silver-printed PET fabric stayed reasonably conductive after washing and stretching, which makes it suitable for wearable applications. Moreover, the ECG measurements in static condition showed that the signal quality collected before and after washing was comparable with standard Ag/AgCl electrodes.

The size and distribution of the photoluminescent pigment particles within the selected binder may affect the quality and appearance of the final print significantly. Yet, the techniques for precise evaluation of size distri¬bution of the pigment particles within a 3D fabric space are rather limited, based on their intrinsic fluorescent properties. The presented work demonstrates a simple screen-printing process for the sustainable application of three different types of commercial fluorescent pigments on polyester (PES) fabric, using polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) as a binder. A comprehensive toolbox was used to compare and study different commercial photo¬luminescent pigments and their corresponding prints, by means of size distribution and concentration effect of emission intensity, including Confocal Fluorescence Microscopy (CFM) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) in combination with complementary spectroscopic techniques, i.e. Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDX) and Ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectroscopy. The focus is on CFM utilised as a non-destructive tool, used for the evaluation of photoluminescent pigments´ spatial distribution within printing pastes, as well as on/within the PES fabrics.

The number of micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in the field of screen printing and convection that use websites in marketing is one of them CV. Ini Sablon. but in the production process there are obstacles in working on orders that come to be done first in accordance with predetermined criteria, namely deadlines, number of orders, design, profit, and availability of goods. The use of Decision Support System (DSS) aims to provide recommendations to owners of screen printing companies. This study uses the SMART method to weight the criteria and the TOPSIS method for product selection. This system is built using the PHP programming language and MySQL database. The results of the study were a screen printing production priority website with the best final value of 0.62 and the worst final value of 0.35 with the level of accuracy between manual and system calculations reaching 100%. In this study the criteria cannot be updated, it is expected that further research criteria can be updated and use a combination of methods that have not been done.

Quality control becomes an important key for companies in suppressing the number of defective produced products. Six Sigma is a quality control method that aims to minimize defective products to the lowest point or achieve operational performance with a sigma value of 6 with only yielding 3.4 defective products of 1 million product. Stages of Six Sigma method starts from the DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control) stages that help the company in improving quality and continuous improvement. Based on the results of research on baby clothes products, data in March 2018 the percentage of defective products produced reached 1.4% exceeding 1% tolerance limit, with a Sigma value of 4.14 meaning a possible defect product of 4033.39 opportunities per million products. In the pareto diagram there were 5 types of CTQ (Critical to Quality) such as oblique obras, blobor screen printing, there is a fabric / head cloth code on the final product, hollow fabric / thin fabric fiber, and dirty cloth. The factors caused quality problems such as Manpower, Materials, Environtment, and Machine. Suggestion for consideration of company improvement was continuous improvement on every existing quality problem like in Manpower factor namely improving comprehension, awareness of employees in producing quality product and improve employee's accuracy, Strength Quality Control and give break time. Materials by making the method of cutting the fabric head, the Machine by scheduling machine maintenance and the provision of needle containers at each employees desk sewing and better environtment by installing exhaust fan and renovating the production room.
