    President of bonding Aachen

    bonding studenteninitiative e.V.

    – 1 Jahr

    I became a member in early 1997 and quickly took responsibility. By late 1997, I was elected president of bonding Aachen for one year. In this year, we organized a job fair with over 150 companies. I stayed a member until 2005.

  • Contacting electronics to fabric circuits with non-conductive adhesive bonding

    Journal of the Textile Institute: JOTI 103 (2012), No.10, pp.1139-1150

    For over two decades different types of fabric circuits have been developed. These are fabrics with integrated electric conductors. However, a technology for contacting electronics to these circuits in a simple and reliable manner was missing. This inhibited any greater commercial success of fabric circuits as potential means to create electronics in textiles applications. This publication presents a novel contacting approach based on non conductive adhesive bonding that is both simple and very…

    For over two decades different types of fabric circuits have been developed. These are fabrics with integrated electric conductors. However, a technology for contacting electronics to these circuits in a simple and reliable manner was missing. This inhibited any greater commercial success of fabric circuits as potential means to create electronics in textiles applications. This publication presents a novel contacting approach based on non conductive adhesive bonding that is both simple and very versatile concerning the choice of fabric circuit and type of electronics to be contacted. Test vehicles with two different kinds of fabric circuits were developed and exposed to different kinds of textile typical stress. The results show that this contacting approach is very reliable. Finally, two demonstrators were developed, to show the potential of this novel process.

  • Dissertation: Analysis of failure mechanisms of machine embroidered electrical contacts and solutions for improved reliability

    Ghent University. Faculty of Engineering and Architecture

    In recent years, a number of research projects and patents have proposed to apply embroidery of conductive yarn to build electric circuits on textile substrates. To contact electronic modules or components to these circuits, embroidery itself was applied as a contacting method. Thereby, the embroidery needle is stitching through a conductive pad on an electronic substrate and is laying the conductive thread over this pad. The yarn and the pad establish an electrical contact. However, until…

    In recent years, a number of research projects and patents have proposed to apply embroidery of conductive yarn to build electric circuits on textile substrates. To contact electronic modules or components to these circuits, embroidery itself was applied as a contacting method. Thereby, the embroidery needle is stitching through a conductive pad on an electronic substrate and is laying the conductive thread over this pad. The yarn and the pad establish an electrical contact. However, until today this contacting technology based on embroidery has not been adopted by the industry since reliability issues during stress were reported by different researchers. Yet, neither these failure phenomena were investigated comprehensively, nor was it attempted to understand their cause. This inhibited potential improvements to make these embroidered contacts reliable. Furthermore, the lack of alternative technologies for a reliable and volume producible contacting of embroidered circuits with electronic components or modules kept embroidered circuits from evolving to actual products. Therefore, this thesis primarily develops an understanding of the contact mechanism underlying embroidered contacts, and develops a theory that explains the failure phenomena. Secondarily the thesis overcomes these reliability issues by improving these contacts and by finding alternatives. The ultimate goal beyond this thesis is a volume producible contacting process. Therefore, this thesis looks mainly at machine embroidered contacts.

  • Modeling embroidered contacts for electronics in textiles

    Journal of the Textile Institute: JOTI 103 (2012), No.6, pp.644-653

    For over a decade, textile circuits have been realized by embroidering conductive yarns onto fabric. Even machine embroidery has been applied. The standard method for connecting these circuits with electronic components has been hand sewing. However, volume production requires the integration of the connection process into the machine embroidery process. For end-user satisfaction and market acceptance, reliability of the contacts is vital. This publication, for the first time, develops a…

    For over a decade, textile circuits have been realized by embroidering conductive yarns onto fabric. Even machine embroidery has been applied. The standard method for connecting these circuits with electronic components has been hand sewing. However, volume production requires the integration of the connection process into the machine embroidery process. For end-user satisfaction and market acceptance, reliability of the contacts is vital. This publication, for the first time, develops a complete theoretical model of the contact mechanism underlying embroidered contacts. Based on this model, potential failure mechanisms are identified. An experimental implementation of the model is developed. To validate the model, test samples of the model and such of the machine-embroidered contacts are exposed to temperature cycles, chosen as an exemplary reliability test. In addition, reliability test results of four encapsulation technologies are presented.

  • METHOD FOR CONNECTING TWO PARTS MECHANICALLY AND ELECTRICALLY AT THE SAME TIME

    Ausgestellt am EU EP2351166 (A1)

    A method connects two parts, which overlap each other only partially and have electrically conducting structures, mechanically and electrically at the same time. For purposes of electrical insulation and/or for mechanical and/or chemical protection, at least one of the conductors is extensively covered with an electrically insulating material beyond the overlapping area and including the connection surface. In order to establish the connection, the conducting parts are pressed against each…

    A method connects two parts, which overlap each other only partially and have electrically conducting structures, mechanically and electrically at the same time. For purposes of electrical insulation and/or for mechanical and/or chemical protection, at least one of the conductors is extensively covered with an electrically insulating material beyond the overlapping area and including the connection surface. In order to establish the connection, the conducting parts are pressed against each other in the area of the connection surfaces of said conducting parts and in the area surrounding said connection surfaces. An adhesive is used as the electrically insulating material. The adhesive is put into a sticky state during the connection, thereby forming an electrical contact between the electrical connection surfaces and in the area surrounding said electrical connection surfaces, after which the adhesive is brought into a permanently adhering state.
