Flexible sensors in smart textiles and their applications
Journal Title: Wearable Technology - Year 2021, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Sensors are the core part of intelligent smart textiles, and flexible sensors play an important role in wearable smart textiles because of their softness, bend ability and stretch ability, and excellent electrical properties. Based on the working principle of sensors, the research progress of flexible sensors for smart textiles in recent years is reviewed, and the sensing mechanism, sensing materials and application status of different sensors are introduced respectively; the main research directions of flexible sensors for smart textiles are summarized: physiological parameter detection, pressure detection and motion detection, and the applications of the three research directions are reviewed. On this basis, the problems of intelligent flexible sensors and their development prospects are pointed out.
