Abstract
We report the use of conducting polyester fabrics as flexible electrodes for wearable devices. These conducting fabrics have well defined mesh openings, excellent flexibility and are fabricated by high-throughput manufacturing. Surface resistivity is as low as 0.03 ohms/square, which decreases Ohmic losses when scaling up to large area devices.
