All textile-based robust pressure sensors for smart garments

Gradient Cu/Ti3C2Tx MXene-Coated Textile Pressure Sensor with High Sensitivity and a Wide Sensing Range

“…The fabrication process of the sensor is schematically illustrated in Figure , which is detailed in the Experimental Section. The knitted nylon/spandex textile was selected as the substrate, and the loosely knitted structure filled with air will provide excellent flexibility and breathability for the sensing materials. − Then, the Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene was synthesized successfully (Figures S1 and S2) and used as a conductive nanomaterial coating on the surface of the textile owing to its hydrophilicity and electronegativity. − The hydrophilicity ensures that the electrolyte penetrates the textile in the subsequent Cu electrodeposition, which is beneficial for obtaining the mass gradient of Cu. The electronegativity enables the MXene to be firmly attached to the textile decorated with the positively charged chitosan through electrostatic adsorption, which is critical in obtaining high service reliability for the sensors.…”

Mushroom-mimetic 3D hierarchical architecture-based e-skin with high sensitivity and a wide sensing range for intelligent perception

“…Finally, the microcontroller wirelessly transmits filtered signals to a smartphone via Bluetooth. 56,57 Fig. 6d shows that the corresponding signals change upon different gestures ( e.g.…”

“…Finally, the microcontroller wirelessly transmits filtered signals to a smartphone via Bluetooth. 56,57 In addition, another interesting thing is that grasping/releasing a cup with more water exhibits a larger corresponding signal variation due to the fact that grasping a cup with more water requires a large pressure. For practical applications, e-skin is likely to face severe abrasive and complex aqueous exposures, and it will be very meaningful if the sensor can work under water.…”

Textile‐Based Flexible Temperature Sensors for Wearable and Sports Applications

“…Stencil or screen printing is the most cost effective, efficient, and simplest approach for generating conductive patterns on various textile‐based substrates. [ 114 ] It is a “on‐contact” method that involves placing a plastic or laser‐cutting metal stencil with the required pattern in contact with the substrate as shown in Figure 8d. In this method, the ink is dragged over the mask with a squeegee.…”
