While common Ag/AgCl glued gel electrodes enable good electrode skin contact, even during movements, they are not comfortable and can irritate the skin during long-term measurements. A possible alternative is textile electrodes, which have been investigated extensively during the last years. These electrodes, however, are usually not able to provide reliable, constant skin contact, resulting in reduced signal quality. Another important problem is the modification of the electrode surface due to washing or abrasion, which may impede the long-term use of such textile electrodes. Here, we report a study of washing and abrasion resistance of different ECG electrodes based on an isolating woven fabric with conductive embroidery and two conductive coatings, showing unexpectedly high abrasion resistance of the silver-coated yarn and optimum ECG signal quality for an additional coating with a conductive silicone rubber. Sheet resistances of the as-prepared electrodes were in the range of 20–30 Ω, which was increased to the range of 25–40 Ω after five washing cycles and up to approximately 50 Ω after Martindale abrasion tests. ECG measurements during different movements revealed reduced motion artifacts for the electrodes with conductive silicone rubber as compared to glued electrodes, suggesting that electronic filtering of such noise may even be easier for textile electrodes than for commercial electrodes.\r\n                ","lang":"eng"}],"publisher":"MDPI AG","author":[{"first_name":"Dajana","last_name":"Doci","full_name":"Doci, Dajana"},{"full_name":"Ademi, Melisa","last_name":"Ademi","first_name":"Melisa"},{"last_name":"Tuvshinbayar","full_name":"Tuvshinbayar, Khorolsuren","id":"222971","first_name":"Khorolsuren"},{"id":"224900","orcid":"0000-0002-8980-0957","first_name":"Niclas","last_name":"Richter","full_name":"Richter, Niclas"},{"first_name":"Guido","full_name":"Ehrmann, Guido","last_name":"Ehrmann"},{"last_name":"Spahiu","full_name":"Spahiu, Tatjana","first_name":"Tatjana"},{"last_name":"Ehrmann","full_name":"Ehrmann, Andrea","id":"223776","first_name":"Andrea","orcid":"0000-0003-0695-3905"}],"volume":13,"publication":"Coatings","title":"Washing and Abrasion Resistance of Textile Electrodes for ECG Measurements","user_id":"220548","_id":"3753","status":"public","publication_status":"published","has_accepted_license":"1"}
