Flexible force sensors show great potential applications in smart wearable devices based on their softness and ease of deformation. Textiles are extremely compatible with the human body, where mechanical forces generated by human movements and physiological activities create rich application scenarios for flexible force sensors. Currently, the bottleneck in the development of flexible sensors depends on the breakthrough of mass production efficiency, which has been a research focus in recent years to accelerate the application of smart textiles in various fields. This work reviews the research progress of flexible force sensors based on fiber assemblies with mass production efficiency, which is discussed in four aspects: sensing mechanisms, structure design, preparation methods, and application. Finally, the challenges faced by mass production of flexible force sensors are analyzed and summarized, and a few inspirations for their future development direction are provided.

“…The ability to tune the material layout at a fine resolution by varying each loop's stitch type and yarn material in a non-periodic manner has been explored by Sterman et al, and Albaugh et al [7,18]. This strategy, when used to create gradients between two or more materials, has a similar effect to multi-material additive manufacturing design strategies of layering a series of pixel-based bitmaps to construct smart multimaterial prints, like active bilayer strips which react to external stimuli [19,20].…”

CNC knitting technology offers great potential in the creation of thermoformable textiles that can be shaped and stiffened in response to heat. Our research explores how CNC knitting can be used to design and fabricate textiles with precisely allocated material and microstructure layouts. These layouts pre-program specific deformation mechanism(s) into the textile that bias it to form an intended geometry, forgoing the need for a mould during the thermoforming process. We fabricate these smart textiles by knitting two thermal-reactive yarns with different extents of shrinkage, in a double layered structure akin to a bilayer strip. We develop a computational design-to-fabrication pipeline that translates raster images into machine-knittable instructions. Referencing multi-material additive manufacturing principles and self-actuating textiles, this paper proposes several design strategies of dithered gradients, tessellated patches and origami creases, to convert input pixel data into a material distribution layout. When paired with our assisted thermoforming process, this layout induces specific deformations of the textile, such as uni-/multi-axial curling, periodic buckling and sharp folding. Our prototypes implement these strategies on the micro-, meso- and macroscale, leading to the design and fabrication of an architectural cladding panel (700 x 535 x 110 mm) and a patterned clutch bag (200 x 420 x 65 mm).

“…Fabrics were manufactured on Santoni SM8-TOP2V by using seamless technology and clothing comfort performance properties were analysed. Seamless circular knitting technology was used due to its significant role in the sportswear production and its capability to offer limitless design possibilities [13]. This technology allows for the creation of continuous knitted fabric in a tubular form, and providing significant benefits to the wearers [14,15].…”

In this research, it was aim to investigate the clothing comfort properties of knitted fabrics intended for summer cycling sportswear. Five different fiber types and five different knitted structures commonly used in cycling sportwear were selected and totally 25 fabrics were manufactured by using a seamless circular knitting machine namely Santoni SM8-TOP2V in a controlled manner. To assess the impact of material type and knitted structures on clothing comfort properties, mass per unit area, thickness, air permeability, thermal conductivity, thermal resistance, overall moisture management capability and relative vapour permeability tests were conducted. The statistical significance of variations in the obtained results was evaluated using the analysis of variance (ANOVA) method. In conclusion, the most suitable material and knitted structure have been recommended for summer upper body cycling clothing.
