Dielectric Characterization of Non-Conductive Fabrics for Temperature Sensing through Resonating Antenna Structures

Abstract: Seamless integration of electronics within clothing is key for further development of efficient and convenient wearable technologies. Therefore, the characterization of textile and fabric materials under environmental changes and other parametric variations is an important requirement. To our knowledge, this paper presents for the first time the evaluation of dielectric characterization over temperature for non-conductive textiles using resonating structures. The paper describes the effects of temperature vari… Show more

“…The dielectric constant (ε r ) of water is 78 at 25 • C [47]. The dielectric constant of water depends on the frequency, salinity and temperature [48], but it is stable and higher than the textile dielectric constant, ε r = 1.58 [49], due to the porosity of textile substrate. When textile fabric absorbs water (water is trapped in fabric structure), it affects the electromagnetic properties of fabric by changing its dielectric constant on one hand and by leakage loss through conductive water on the other [47,[50][51][52][53].…”

“…Electronic textiles (e-textiles) that involve the combination of electronics and textiles introduce “smart” functions to textile products [ 1 ]. Electronic and sensory functions on the flexible substrates, including fabrics, have been demanded in many wearables and Internet of Things (IoT) applications for wireless sensor networks (WSN) with a strong acceleration embracing sensory features [ 2 , 3 ]. In the context of wearable communication, antennas are a key component that adheres to specific requirements, including flexibility, conformality, being low profile, and lightweight [ 4 ].…”

“…During the past few years, microwave-sensing systems have grown rapidly in numbers and capabilities mainly due to their low-cost, easy fabrication and integration, small size, and non-invasive nature [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 ]. The sensing capabilities of the different microwave sensors mainly rely on the resonance principle and are attracting increasing interest in applications related to biosensing, microfluidic, environmental monitoring, and industrial applications in general.…”
