Highlights Ag nanoparticles are evenly plated on BN-embedded fibers as a thermally conductive sheath, bridging the insulating interface between fibers to construct a 3D heat transfer network. The LM-printed e-textile shows outstanding capability for the monitoring of human ECG, sEMG, and EEG signals even under intense EM interference, when commercial electrodes cannot work properly. The e-textile simultaneously manifests excellent EMI shielding (SET > 65, X-band) and UV protection (UPF = 143.1) performance, thus protecting the device and skin from harmful radiation.
