However, optimizing biosignal quality, motion artifacts, and wearer comfort in electronic textiles (E-textiles) remains challenging. While designing appropriate contact pressure (CP) is crucial, there is a lack of guidance on proper material selection and sizing for achieving the desired CP. This article presents a novel CP prediction model that utilizes three-dimensional garment simulation (3DGS) to optimize knit textiles for health monitoring. First, a stress test method is devised in the simulator to examine the reliability of simulated stress. Based on understanding the simulated stress mechanism, the CP model is developed using simulation parameters. The model is validated against experimental CP values, exhibiting high accuracy ( ${R}^{{2}}= {0.9}$ ). The effectiveness of the CP model is validated through the demonstration of a customized ECG armband incorporating screen-printed dry electrodes on knit fabrics. Analyzing ECG signals, CP, and applied strains validates the benefits of strategically selected materials and sizing. Specifically, the knit sample with 90% polyester and 10% spandex (S-10) for the 15%–20% range and the knit sample with 85% polyester and 18% spandex (S-18) for the 10%–15% strain range significantly enhance ECG quality, resulting in higher signal-to-noise ratios (SNR) of 33.45 (±1.72) and 34.57 (±0.84)−36.61(±1.81), respectively. These design parameters achieve the desired CP range of 1–1.5 kPa, optimizing the functionality and comfort of the ECG armband. The CP model sets a benchmark for the strategic manufacturing of health monitoring garments by integrating digital technology.}, number={16}, journal={IEEE SENSORS JOURNAL}, author={Youn, Seonyoung and Knowles, Caitlin G. and Ju, Beomjun and Sennik, Busra and Mathur, Kavita and Mills, Amanda C. and Jur, Jesse S.}, year={2023}, month={Aug}, pages={18316–18324} } @article{hossain_li_sennik_jur_bradford_2022, title={Adhesive free, conformable and washable carbon nanotube fabric electrodes for biosensing}, volume={6}, ISSN={["2397-4621"]}, DOI={10.1038/s41528-022-00230-3}, abstractNote={Abstract}, number={1}, journal={NPJ FLEXIBLE ELECTRONICS}, author={Hossain, Md.

The antenna consists of an ultra-thin corrugated metallic structure screen-printed on a flexible textile substrate, which supports extremely confined spoof surface plasmon polaritons. To enable a highly directional leaky mode, two unit-cell designs with different surface impedances are incorporated to realize binary perturbations on the in-plane wavenumber. An auto-adaptive multi-objective optimizer (MOO) is utilized to intelligently design the surface impedance configuration, which achieves significant dimensional reduction compared to the periodically modified SSPP LWAs. A final miniaturized version with 28-unit-cells achieved about 70% size reduction in comparison to the longer design of 75 unit-cells. For proof of concept, the antenna is designed and optimized for operation at 6 GHz. A bandwidth of >200 MHz (5.90 GHz - 6.13 GHz) is achieved, centered around 6 GHz, for which the highly directional endfire pattern can be tilted to 22° and 14° for the 28 and 75 unit-call designs, respectively. The measured results agree well with the simulations. Meanwhile, experimental results show that the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is lower than 1.6 W/kg standard when the antenna is 2 mm away from the human phantom. This textile-based antenna realized with advanced screen-printing technology is extremely suitable for garment integration due to its high flexibility, low-profile, good fabrication accuracy, and robustness in its performance.}, journal={IEEE ACCESS}, author={Wu, Yuhao and Soltani, Saber and Sennik, Busra and Zhou, Ying and Mackertich-Sengerdy, Galestan and Whiting, Eric B. and Werner, Douglas H. and Jur, Jesse S.}, year={2022}, pages={115338–115350} } @article{li_reese_ingram_huddleston_jenkins_zaets_reuter_grogg_nelson_zhou_et al._2022, title={Textile-Integrated Liquid Metal Electrodes for Electrophysiological Monitoring}, volume={7}, ISSN={["2192-2659"]}, url={https://doi.org/10.1002/adhm.202200745}, DOI={10.1002/adhm.202200745}, abstractNote={Abstract}, journal={ADVANCED HEALTHCARE MATERIALS}, author={Li, Braden M. and Reese, Brandon L. and Ingram, Katherine and Huddleston, Mary E. and Jenkins, Meghan and Zaets, Allison and Reuter, Matthew and Grogg, Matthew W. and Nelson, M.
