Summary
Smart textiles have gained more attentions nowadays due to their application opportunities in different fields such as heat detection and smart sportswear. With the development of intelligent technology, smart e-textile wearable devices show great potential for development by virtue of their lightweight and flexible characteristics compared to rigid textiles, where sensors are usually regarded as core components.
In this project, capacitive knitted sensors will be constructed using electronic knitting machines and their characteristics under strain, compression, bending and heating will be evaluated.
