Abstract:

In order to investigate the electrical conductivity and application of the weft knitted flexible sensor, the viscose conductive fiber and nylon fiber with 20% stainless steel particle content were adopted to prepare one-piece pressure distribution monitoring socks comprising three integrated pressure sensing modules and three knitting wires. The resistance change of the pressure sensing part in the surface of the socks was tested by the self-built pressure and resistance synchronous recorder. The relationship between the stress and the resistance of the pressure sensing part and the stability and reliability of the repeated compression resistance were studied. The results show that the stress and resistance of different pressure sensing parts are inversely proportional. In the case of increased stress, the resistance and sensitivity values of the knitting pressure sensor are reduced. In different stress cycles, the sensor has good curve characteristics. The sensor exhibits good stability and repeatability under a stress cycle of 35 kPa.
