Textile electrodes and conductors are being developed and used in different monitoring scenarios, such as ECG or bioimpedance spectroscopy measurements. Compared to standard materials, conductive textile materials offer improved wearing comfort and enable long-term measurements. Unfortunately, the development and investigation of such materials often suffers from the non-reproducibility of the test scenarios. For example, the materials are generally tested on human skin which is difficult since the properties of human skin differ for each person and can change within hours. This study presents two test setups which offer reproducible measurement procedures for the systematic analysis of textile electrodes and conductors. The electrode test setup was designed with a special skin dummy which allows investigation of not only the electrical properties of textile electrodes but also the contact behavior between electrode and skin. Using both test setups, eight textile electrodes and five textile conductors were analyzed and compared.
纺织电极和导体正在不同的监测场景中得到开发和应用，如心电图或生物阻抗谱测量。与标准材料相比，导电纺织材料提供了更好的穿着舒适性，并能够实现长期测量。然而，此类材料的开发和研究往往受到测试场景不可再现性的影响。例如，这些材料通常在人体皮肤上进行测试，但由于每个人的皮肤特性不同，并且在数小时内可能会发生变化，因此在人体皮肤上进行测试具有一定难度。本研究提出了两种测试设置，为系统分析纺织电极和导体提供了可重复的测量程序。电极测试设置采用了一种特殊的皮肤模拟装置，不仅可以研究纺织电极的电气性能，还可以研究电极与皮肤之间的接触行为。使用这两种测试设置，对 8 个纺织电极和 5 个纺织导体进行了分析和比较。
