Abstract

Quality control of textile electrodes used in intelligent textile applications is very important. Fouling of such electrodes can have serious consequences when they are used in medical applications. The electrodes are positioned in an electrochemical cell and studied with Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy. With this method, the impedance of the electrochemical cell is measured as a function of applied frequency and reveals information about properties and resistance of the electrodes. Besides characterization of the cell containing knitted, woven and non-woven textile electrodes also quality control and long-term stability tests were done to show the behaviour of these electrodes.
