Resistive Pressure Sensing Behavior of Electrically Conductive PEDOT:PSS-Nonwoven Fabric Composites

Abstract: Wearable electronic textiles have become increasingly important in daily life. Such garments are based on sensors that are distributed on the human body. These sensors should be comfortable and fit for the aim of the wearer. In general, these textiles have been used for pressure, stretch and temperature sensors. In this study, electrically conductive nonwoven fabrics were prepared by Drop Casting-Drying method and their pressure sensing behavior was investigated.Özet: Giyilebilir elektronik tekstiller günlük yaşamda giderek daha çok önemli hale gelmektedir. Böyle giysiler, insan vücudu üzerine dağıtılan sensörlere bağlıdır. Bu sensörler, giyen için konforlu ve amaca uygun olmalıdır. Genelde bu tekstiller basınç, germe ve sıcaklık sensörleri için kullanılmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, elektriksel olarak iletken nonwoven kumaşlar Drop Casting-Drying metodu yoluyla hazırlanmış ve basınç sensör davranışları araştırılmıştır.
