本文研究了织物基材和涂层材料对印制天线电性能和机械性能的影响。电感耦合天线用银色墨水印制在织物上。为了确保可印刷性和保护性，配置了由表面涂层、导电印刷和保护层组成的打印结构。为了模拟真实的情况，从机织和针织面料中选择了三种面料基材(牛仔布、阔布和单件针织面料)用于日常穿着。从传统的印制电路板保形涂层材料中选择了三种涂层材料(丙烯酸、聚氨酯和有机硅)。实验结果表明，由于天线性能没有受到明显影响，因此可以选择适合特定终端应用的织物基板。建议使用有机硅涂层来支持天线的性能，因为这对织物的机械性能造成的损害最小。
This paper reports an investigation into the effect of fabric substrates and coating materials on the electrical and mechanical performance of printed antennas. Inductively coupled antennas were printed on fabrics using silver ink. To assure printability and protection, a printing structure was configured, consisting of surface coating, conductive printing, and protective coating. In order to simulate a realistic situation, three fabric substrates (denim, broadcloth, and single jersey) were selected from woven and knit fabrics for everyday wear. Three coating materials (acrylic, polyurethane, and silicone) were chosen from conventional conformal coating materials for printed circuit boards. Experimental results verified that fabric substrates can be selected to fit specific end-use application since it is shown that antenna performance was not significantly affected. Silicone coating is suggested to support antenna performance since this gave the least impairment in the fabrics as mechanical performance.
