Described herein are apparatuses (e.g., garments, including but not limited to shirts, pants, and the like) for detecting and monitoring physiological parameters, such as respiration, cardiac parameters, and the like. Also described herein are methods of forming garments having one or more stretchable conductive ink patterns and methods of making garments having one or more highly stretchable conductive ink pattern formed of a composite of an insulative adhesive, a conductive ink, and an intermediate gradient zone between the adhesive and conductive ink. The conductive ink typically includes between about 40-60% conductive particles, between about 30-50% binder; between about 3-7% solvent; and between about 3-7% thickener. The stretchable conductive ink patterns may be stretched more than twice their length without breaking or rupturing.

Carpet binder compositions comprising a mineral filler and a copolymer produced by emulsion polymerization and derived from monomers comprising a vinyl aromatic monomer, a 1,3-diene monomer, and an additional monomer selected from a copolymerizable surfactant, a (meth)acrylate monomer, a carboxylic acid monomer, or a combination thereof are disclosed. The carpet binder compositions can be formulated with a non-polymerizable surfactant such as an aryl phosphate surfactant. The compositions exhibit superior wet and dry delamination strengths as well as suitable froth viscosities. As a result, such carpet binder compositions can be made at higher filler loadings.
