Research in wearable sensors is guided by the need for bendable, comfortable, and deformable sensors. In this study, an elastic electronic sensor is fabricated to monitor human movement. It adopts a centrifugal electrospinning technology, and the fibers form a wavy wrinkled structure by itself. This structure gives the sensor good resistance response under high strength deformation. After stretching to 180% of the original length, the numerical value of resistance is increased by 2000%. The sensor generates different signals that depend upon the variation in different human actions, making it suitable for use as a monitor of human movement.
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.
