Abstract
Smart textiles are fabrics with technological components that perform different wearer functions. Functions can vary, but examples of use are garments that can heat cool or change colour. The idea of our project was to create a device that would stop blood flow without the injured person’s intervention. The detection of the wound is realised using a conductive textile structure made of a thin metal film on its surface. When a circuit break occurs, it will generate an electrical signal interpreted by a control unit to operate an air pumping system that activates a pneumatic tourniquet that stops the flow of blood. To accomplish conductive textile structures the EB-PVD method and the Sputtering method were applied and different metals were used, such as Cu, Ag etc. The amount of metal deposition was 4,0-7,00μg/cm2. Samples were studied on the surface and in sections by scanning electron microscopy in Low Vacuum mode, using the backscattered secondary electron (ABS) detector and the energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) detector. The electrical resistivity (Ω) was determined and conductivity (S/m) was calculated for initially treated textile structures and after washing and abrasion tests.
