Over the last years, the combination of textiles with electronic device have introduced the so called smart/intelligent textiles or wearable computing. The challenge for textile researchers is to make as many components as possible out of textile materials. Since the intelligent ambient is becoming popular as a concept, more and more conductive textiles are needed for these applications. Therefore, it is necessary to develop electroconductive textiles, which have to be conductive, lightweight, flexible and washable. In this research, the potential of another method is explored, namely screen printing the textile with conductive ink. This printing technique is an interesting alternative, because it is flexible and cost effective. In this study the conductivity is investigated by measuring the square resistance after repeated washing cycles. The printed textiles studied here show good electrical properties after printing (< 0.06 /!). In order to improve washability (as the conductivity decreased considerably after different washing cycles), a protective polyurethane layer was put on top of the printed samples. In this case, the resistivity remained below 0.17 /! after 20 washing cycles.
