Abstract

The aim of the study - the development of textile
screen printed sensor for enuresis alarm system, using different
concentrations of graphite in paste and various width of traces (3,
5, 7 mm).
The most optimal parameters of concentration (22%) and
width (7 mm) of traces, which were printed on sateen weave
cotton fabric, are found by measuring the resistivity and the
change of voltage in time during dropping the salty dilution.
The more graphite concentration and width, the less resistivity
is observed.
