- Elastic Conductive TapeConductive tapes are used in all kinds of smart textiles, but the metal wires are not elastic. So to make elastic conductive tapes, you have to innovate. The metal wires in these tapes are stitched in a curved configuration so they are able to follow the direction of stretching. Elastic conductive tapes are used in smart wearables like sportswear and monitoring applications, such blood pressure, heartbeat, etc.
