Textile and electronic components are critical elements of most wearable technologies (wearables); both components deteriorate at different rates depending on factors of use, care, and user handling. The differences in mechanical performance characteristics (MPC) (i.e., abrasion, elongation, and bursting strength) of these components create a challenge for researchers and product designers to develop user-centric and economical wearables. For example, athletic wearables made of nylon/spandex knit blends exhibit drastically different MPC from minimal fiber content changes (1- 10%). However, the wearable's end-use remains constant. This article presents ideas and methods for testing MPC and how to evaluate results for different end-use cases. Designing for end-user activities also highlights these performance differences because specific, end-uses drive textiles design, which may or may not be the wearable design's end-use. Three American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) test methods were used to test MPC of athletic fabrics and soft robotic sensors (SRS) to determine the abrasion resistance, elongation, and bursting strength of these components and two-tail ttest comparisons were performed on the results. The SRS's durability is less than the textiles they are integrated into, and with no standards for MPC testing on SRS, it can be unclear how long a sensor will last. Such methods need to be developed so product developers can find efficient combinations of fibers and electronic components to ensure user-centric functionality, wearer comfort, extended product longevity, and overall consumer satisfaction.
