智能纺织品已成为未来纺织品发展的主导趋势，尤其是可穿戴电子产品。然而，电子服装设计往往看起来更“技术化”，而不是“纺织品化”，这反映在市场增长缓慢上。因此，本文提出了一种设计方法，通过造型、分而治之、图案细化三步来设计电刺激服装的导电路径，以增强其美观性。研制了一种经皮神经电刺激（TENS）针织服装，并对其导电网络进行了评价。所得的TENS针织品的输出波形和频谱与TENS信号的输出波形和频谱相似。优化后的阻力变化小于16%，这主要是由于截断和变形造成的。该方法为利用导电织物设计兼顾功能性和美观性的电刺激纺织品提供了一种可行的、系统的方法。
ABSTRACT Smart textiles have become a dominant trend in future textiles development, especially wearable electronics. However, electronic garment designs often look more ‘technical’ than ‘textile’, which is reflected in the slow growth of the market. Therefore, a design approach is proposed to design the conductive paths of electric stimulation garments in three steps: modelling, division and conquer, and pattern refinement to enhance the aesthetics. A Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) knitwear garment with a refined conductive network was developed and evaluated. The output waveforms and spectrums of the resulting TENS knitwear are similar to those of TENS signals. The resistance variations are smaller than 16 per cent after optimization, which is largely due to truncation and deformation. This method could provide a feasible and systematic approach to the design of electric stimulation textiles by using conductive fabrics to meet the requirements of both functionality and aesthetics.
