This work evaluated three industrial conductive textiles\u2014a weft-knit silver-plated PA6\/elastane, a warp-knit PA6\/elastomer with one-sided conductive silicone, and a woven PA66 with Ag\/Cu\/Sn metallization\u2014using a standardized, textile-centered protocol combining textile-level washing durability (UNE-EN IEC 63203-204-1:2023), artificial perspiration exposure (UNE-EN ISO 105-E04:2013), impedance characterization on a skin-mimicking phantom with reduced equivalent-circuit analysis, and human EEG recordings (n = 9) against a simultaneously recorded Ag\/AgCl comparison electrode at Fp1 under controlled resting conditions. The fabric structure and tested surface orientation influenced resistance and textile-level laundering durability, with the woven Ag\/Cu\/Sn fabric showing the greatest resistance stability across 20 laundering cycles, illustrating a trade-off between conformability and electrical stability. Agreement was quantified using repeated-measures Bland\u2013Altman limits, Lin\u2019s concordance correlation coefficient (CCC), and equivalence testing. The four textile configurations evaluated in the full EEG cohort showed high temporal waveform agreement with the Ag\/AgCl comparison signal (grand-mean r = 0.92) and a small system-level RMS bias (\u22127%; CCC = 0.96), with spectral coherence highest in the alpha and lower-frequency bands. No configuration effect was detected for the main agreement metrics within this sample. These findings support commercial metallized textiles as promising dry EEG electrode candidates for further development toward scalable wearable systems.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s26165036","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,10]],"date-time":"2026-08-10T09:24:53Z","timestamp":1786353893000},"page":"5036","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Commercial Metallized Textiles for Dry EEG Electrodes: Structure, Textile-Level Durability, and Controlled Frontal Validation Against Ag\/AgCl"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"26","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0003-9392-2468","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Eliana Vanesa","family":"Andr\u00e9s Yanz\u00f3n","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Escola Polit\u00e8cnica Superior d\u2019Alcoi, Universitat Polit\u00e8cnica de Val\u00e8ncia, 03801 Alcoy, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jordi","family":"Ferre-Mart\u00ednez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Asociaci\u00f3n de Investigaci\u00f3n de la Industria Textil y Cosm\u00e9tica, AITEX Research and Innovation Center, 03802 Alcoy, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2979-0179","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Daniel","family":"L\u00f3pez-Rodr\u00edguez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Matem\u00e1tica Aplicada, Universitat Polit\u00e8cnica de Val\u00e8ncia, 03801 Alcoy, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0439-6589","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Raquel","family":"Cervig\u00f3n","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Polytechnic School, University of Castilla-La Mancha, 16071 Cuenca, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8542-4264","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andr\u00e9s","family":"Camacho-Garc\u00eda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Comunicaciones, Universitat Polit\u00e8cnica de Val\u00e8ncia, 03801 Alcoy, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9732-2262","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ra\u00fal","family":"Llinares Llopis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Comunicaciones, Universitat Polit\u00e8cnica de Val\u00e8ncia, 03801 Alcoy, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"1","article-title":"Fundamentals of EEG Measurement","volume":"2","author":"Teplan","year":"2002","journal-title":"Meas.
