Despite the development throughout human history of a wealth of textile materials and structures, the porous structures and non-planar surfaces of textiles are often viewed as problematic for the fabrication of wearable e-textiles and smart clothing. Here, we demonstrate a new textile-centric design paradigm in which we use the textile structure as an integral part of wearable device design. We coat the open framework structure of an ultrasheer knitted textile with a conformal gold film using solution-based metallization to form gold-coated ultrasheer electrodes that are highly conductive (3.6 ± 0.9 Ω/sq) and retain conductivity to 200% strain with R/R₀ < 2. The ultrasheer electrodes produce wearable, highly stretchable light-emitting e-textiles that function to 200% strain. Stencil printing a wax resist provides patterned electrodes for patterned light emission; furthermore, incorporating soft-contact lamination produces light-emitting textiles that exhibit, for the first time, readily changeable patterns of illumination.

尽管整个人类历史上都在开发大量的纺织品材料和结构，但纺织品的多孔结构和非平面表面通常被认为是可穿戴电子纺织品和智能服装制造的问题。在这里，我们演示了一种新的以纺织品为中心的设计范例，其中我们将纺织品结构用作可穿戴设备设计的组成部分。我们使用基于溶液的金属化方法，用保形金膜在超透明针织纺织品的开放框架结构上涂覆一层金，以形成具有高导电性（3.6±0.9Ω/ sq）的镀金超透明电极，并通过R /将导电率保持在200％应变[R ₀ <2.超透明电极产生可穿戴的，高度可拉伸的发光电子纺织品，其功能达到200％的应变。模版印刷抗蜡剂可提供图案化的电极，用于图案化的发光；此外，结合软接触层压可生产出发光纺织品，这些纺织品首次展现出易于改变的照明模式。
