Perera explained. “It is a flexible, textile-grade, conductive, insulated microfilament that does not reduce the conformability of the cloth. And, because of the nature of the polymer we are using, it is hidden in the fabric, so the wearer wouldn’t even know there is a wire there.”iCON can be used as a single filament and, as such, it is strong enough to handle stress from standard textile and finishing equipment; but it more likely would be integrated into or run alongside a yarn.“I picture this as one filament among others in a yarn that could be yarn-dyed or piece-dyed, and it would blend in nicely with the adjacent fibers,”

said Gerald Mauretti, the company’s president, adding that it can be combined with textile fibers such as cotton, wool, nylon andpolyester.The e-textile would be designed so that the conductive yarns connect with a power source and any electronic devices through a connection point on the fabric, and the devices could be disconnected to launder the textile. Perera said iCON has more than enough bandwidth to be used in data transfer applications, and because of its high conductivity, it uses minimal power, thereby enhancing battery life.For more information about iCON technology, contact Dr. Rathnâ Perera 1-508-673-3307; rperera@eytech nologies.com.September/October 2010
