Multifunctional hydrophobic fabric-based strain sensor for human motion detection and personal thermal management

doi:10.1016/j.jmst.2022.08.010

Abstract

Abstract: Multifunctional flexible devices for human motion detection and thermal management raised great attention as the problem of the aging population is becoming more and more serious. However, it is still a challenge to endow the devices with excellent stability and wide application scope. Here we prepared a hydrophobic and conductive fabric-based strain sensor for smart fabric via successively coating with polydopamine (PDA), polyaniline (PANI), polypyrrole (PPy), and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) through in-situ polymerization and dip-coating, which could be used for strain sensor and wearable heater both in air and underwater. The obtained sample exhibited a fast electrical response in 500 ms and could withstand 10,000 times stretching-releasing cycles, additionally, the sample exhibited satisfactory electro-thermal and photo-thermal performances. As a whole, the multifunctional fabric-based devices with excellent performances show great potential to be applied in medical monitoring and personal care, especially for aged and disabled persons.

Key words: Strain sensor, Superhydrophobic, Thermal management, Photo-thermal device
