Inorganic coatings on complex fibrous systems are attracting interest for new functional electronic systems. A low temperature, vapor phase method for conformal nanoscale inorganic growth on fibrous systems is presented. These inorganic materials are produced with varying resistivity, resulting in the building blocks for electronic devices integrated into the fabric structure. To evaluate the conductivity of the fiber systems, a standardized approach has been examined that allows for increased probe-fiber contact and fiber-to-fiber contact. As a result, the measurement of various coatings is compared between microfiber systems. Real-time monitoring of the electrical properties during tensile loading is examined as a method to evaluate the mechanical performance of the coated fiber systems.
