Electroactive Fabrics and Wearable Biomonitoring Devices
نویسندگان
چکیده
The implementation of truly wearable, instrumented garments which are capable of recording biomechanical variables is crucial in several fields of application, from multimedia to rehabilitation, from sport to artistic fields. In this paper we discuss wearable devices (a smart shirt, a leotard and a glove) which can read and record the vital signs and movements of a subject wearing the system. The sensing function of the garments is based on piezo-resistive fabric sensors, based on carbon-loaded rubbers (CLR) and different conductive materials.

Rugged Textile Electrodes for Wearable Devices Obtained by Vapor Coating OfftheShelf, PlainWoven Fabrics
Fabrics are pliable, breathable, lightweight, ambient stable, and have unmatched haptic perception. Here, a vapor deposition method is used to transform off-the-shelf plain-woven fabrics, such as linen, silk, and bast fiber fabrics, into metal-free conducting electrodes. These fabric electrodes are resistant to wear, stable after laundering and ironing, and can be bodymounted with little detrim...
