With the rapid advancement of flexible wearable technology, bio-compatible textile piezoelectric pressure sensors are a promising candidates for next-generation sensing platforms to monitor human health. Smart textiles can be easily incorporated into our daily wear clothing in a breathable and conformable manner. In this study, a novel structural hierarchy consisting of a piezoelectric composite film Glycine - Chitosan (GC) sandwiched between two Zinc Oxide (ZnO) nanorods patterned conductive textile electrodes was developed. A low temperature hydrothermal method was used to grow ZnO nanorods directly on the conductive fabric, and a simple solvent casting technique was employed to form a Glycine-Chitosan film. SEM and XRD analyses were performed to investigate the growth of the bio-compatible piezoelectric materials. Under periodic deformation, the fabricated sensor exhibited a good piezoelectric response over a wide range of sensing pressures. The use of non-toxic, bio-compatible piezoelectric materials in the development of textile pressure sensors paves the way for the development of eco-friendly wearables.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
