“…The development of wearable or on-body assistive healthcare devices necessitates the convergence of both digital and physical platforms. However, materials are invested with social and cultural values that supersede their functional physical properties and we must explore and understand these relationships in order to design assistive healthcare devices and systems successfully and meaningfully [8]. Physical materials are being re-imagined as substrates invested with computational properties [9].…”

“…Both Lycra and the stretch sensors have ideal softness and compliance for interaction with the human body [8]. The sensors behave as variable capacitors and to measure their capacitance at any given time, and under any given load, a number of methods were used.…”

“…These are conductive polymers (high electron mobility) that can be solution processed and hence form the basis for printable sensor fabrication via ink jet and screen printing technology [11] [12]. The other is stretchable electronics which are light, flexible and can withstand robust handling [13] Of these, we have chosen to examine dielectric electro active polymers (DEAP) in some detail because they offer a large degree of freedom in terms of their strain behaviour under an applied electric field [4] [5] [6] [7] [8].…”

Abstract. This paper describes a design-led exploratory scoping study into the potential use of an industry standard dielectric electroactive polymer (DEAP) sensor for applications in assistive healthcare. The focus of this activity was to explore the physical format and integration of soft materials and sensor combinations with properties that afford an opportunity for accurate and unobtrusive real time body mapping and monitoring. The work involved a series of practical investigations into the capacitance changes in the sensor brought on by deformation through different ways of stretching. The dielectric sensors were selected as a direct mapping tool against the body based on the similarity of the stretch qualities of both the sensor and human skin and muscle resulting in a prototype vest for real time breathing monitoring through sensing thoracic movement. This involved modification of the standard sensors and handcrafting bespoke sensors to map critically relevant areas of the thorax.

“…Here, we fabricated PANI/PMMA composite fibers by in situ polymerization method. The PANI/PMMA composite fibers combined the good properties of PMMA fibers (e.g., high surface area and flexibility [29]) and the high electrical conductivity of PANI, showing excellent strain and gas sensing properties. .0 g DMF, and 10.0 g THF were mixed to form the electrospinning precursor solution.…”

Conducting polyaniline (PANI) was in situ polymerized at the surface of electrospun poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) fibers to obtain flexible composite fibers. The electrical conductivity of an individual PANI/PMMA composite fiber was estimated to be 2.0 × 10−1 S cm−1at room temperature. The ammonia sensing properties of the samples were tested by impedance analysis. The PANI/PMMA fibers could obviously respond to low concentration of ammonia at ppb level and could respond to relatively high concentration of ammonia at 10 ppm level quickly. In addition, the sensitivity exhibited a good linear relationship to the ammonia concentration. Particularly, the flexible PANI/PMMA fibers showed a reversible change in electrical resistance with repeated cycles of bending and relaxing, and the electrical resistance decreased with the increase of curvature. These results indicate that the flexible PANI/PMMA composite fibers may be used in toxic ammonia gas detection, strain sensing, and flexible electronic devices.
