Durable Conductive Ink Enabling Washable Textile Electronics for RFID and WPT Devices

A new conductive ink formulation allows for the screen-printing of RFID antennas and wireless power transfer (WPT) coils that maintain high conductivity through multiple industrial laundry cycles. This development removes a primary barrier to the mass adoption of smart textiles by ensuring electronic performance does not degrade during routine cleaning. For manufacturers, this enables the production of durable, wash-resistant e-textiles for healthcare and hospitality sectors
