The present invention relates to a fiber composite laminate and a method of manufacturing the same, and more particularly to a fiber composite laminate, which includes a self-assembled conductive paste and may thus be applied to wearable devices, which are required to exhibit increased conductivity and durability of joints thereof, a minimized foreign-body sensation and an improved wearing sensation, and a method of manufacturing the same.
As wearable electronic devices have recently become a paradigm of the times, thorough research into electronic textiles that combine the functions of electronic devices with textiles such as clothes is ongoing. Textiles are flexible and comfortable and thus make people feel less tired even when worn all day, and are thereby receiving attention as an ideal platform for wearable electronic devices.
However, electronic devices mounted on clothes or textiles have to be installed so as to enable the user's freedom of activity, and need to be made of washable and durable elements, which is under active study.
Conventional functional electronic textile products are configured such that electronic parts and wires that function electronically are invisibly packaged with textiles, or are connected to electronic parts using conductive yarns instead of using wires.
Conventional products in which wires and electronic parts are invisibly packaged have a foreign-body sensation due to the wires and electronic parts, and have no elasticity, which makes them less comfortable to wear. Moreover, in the case of conventional product processing for connecting electronic parts using conductive yarn, an additional process such as soldering, seam sealing, embroidering, sewing, etc. for connecting the conductive yarn and the electronic part is required during the manufacturing process. Here, since soldering is carried out at a high temperature, there is a risk of damage to the fabric and fire, and products manufactured using seam-sealing films have problems of low durability of joints thereof and poor contact resistance.
These conventional problems have complicated the processing of functional electronic textiles, ultimately making it difficult to enter the mass-production stage due to problems with productivity, durability, etc., and thus there are difficulties in expanding the functional electronic textile market.
Accordingly, the present invention has been made keeping in mind the problems encountered in the related art, and an objective of the present invention is to provide a fiber composite laminate and a conductive fiber composite laminate, which include a self-assembled conductive paste and may thus be applied to wearable devices having increased conductivity and durability of joints thereof, a minimized foreign-body sensation and an improved wearing sensation.

The components of the fiber composite laminates and the electronic parts including the same according to Examples 1 to 12, the temperature and time for self-assembly, adhesion and contact resistance are summarized in Table 2 below.
The conditions for self-assembly of the composite binders between the fiber substrates and the flexible substrates of Examples 1 to 7 are shown in Table 3 below.
As is apparent from Table 3, the composite binders of Preparation Examples 3 and 4 were self-assembled at a low temperature in a short time and thus exhibited the greatest self-assembling performance, the composite binders of Preparation Examples 2 and 5 exhibited good self-assembling performance, and the composite binders of Preparation Examples 1, 6 and 7 exhibited fair self-assembling performance.

The adhesion and contact resistance of Example 4 and Examples 8 to 12 were measured. The results thereof are shown in Table 4 below.
Adhesion was determined using a UTM (Universal Testing Machine) in a manner in which the fiber textile portion and the F-PCB, which were adhered through self-assembly, were clamped by the fixing clamps of a tension tester and strength applied upon peeling was measured at a tension tester speed of 20 mm/min.
Contact resistance was determined by measuring the voltage at both ends of a connector at a test current of 1 mA using a Keithley SourceMeter 2400.
As is apparent from Table 4, the adhesion and contact resistance depending on the kind of conductor under the same conditions in Example 4 and Example 8 were confirmed. When using the eutectic gallium-indium-tin alloy as the conductor (Example 8), consistent adhesion and increased contact resistance resulted.
The contact resistance was lower in Example 9 and Example 10 using the phenoxy resin as the binder than in Example 4 using the bisphenol A diglycidyl ether binder.
Moreover, when the phenoxy resin was used as the binder, the adhesion was higher in Example 9 using dicyandiamide than in Example 10 using AIBN and dicyandiamide at a weight ratio of 50:50.
Furthermore, the adhesion and contact resistance were consistent when the silver content of the conductive yarn was 41% and 38%, but when the silver content was increased to 87%, adhesion was decreased to 1.3 kgf/cm2 and contact resistance was decreased to 0.5 Q/cm.
