Interface for electroadhesive system and textile

A method of making an adaptive article of apparel, comprising:

• forming a textile configured to be worn by a wearer;
• and
• securing an electroadhesive clutch to the textile, the electroadhesive clutch comprising:
• a first electrode assembly comprising a first conductive member;
• a second electrode assembly comprising a second conductive member overlaying in part the first conductive member;
• an elastic encasing within which the first and second electrode assemblies are positioned, the elastic encasing forming a first bond with the first conductive member at a first location of the elastic encasing and a second bond with the second conductive member proximate a second location of the elastic encasing different than the first location;
• and
• an electrical signal generator configured to provide first and second signals to the first and second conductive members of the first and second electrode assemblies, respectively, wherein the first electrode assembly is configured to slide laterally relative to the second electrode assembly when the first and second signals are not applied and remain static relative to the second electrode assembly when the first and second signals are applied;
• wherein the electroadhesive clutch configured to inhibit increasing a size of an opening when the first and second signals are applied to the first and second electrode assemblies and wherein the opening enabled to increase size when the first and second signals are not applied.
