Abstract In this paper, the authors describe distribution of temperatures around electroconductive pathways created by a physical vacuum deposition process on flexible textile substrates used in elastic electronics and textronics. Cordura material was chosen as substrate. Silver with 99.99% purity deposited metal. This research based thermographic photographs produced samples. Analysis temperature field layer carried out using Image ThermaBase EU software. The analysis highlights software’s usefulness determining homogeneity metal layer. Higher local non-uniform distributions at same time can negatively influence work textronic system.
