Abstract:The increasing interest in karate has also attracted the attention of researchers, especially in combining the equipment used by practitioners with technology to prevent injuries, improve technical skills and provide appropriate scoring. Contrary to the sport of taekwondo, the development of a smart body protector in the sport of karate is still a niche field to be researched. This study focused on developing piezoresistive, textile-based pressure sensors using piezoresistive film, conductive fabric as well as… Show more
“…Fiber-based flexible pressure sensors with porous structure not only have excellent air permeability but also possess the advantages of high sensitivity and wide response range, which are suitable for the application in wearable devices. [37] Wang et al [38] developed a combined strategy of electrospinning and in situ polymerization to prepare carboxylated carbon nanotubes (CCNTs)/PEDOT@PU/CCNTs (TPPCN) nanofiber membrane with spatial multi-level structure and grid-like morphology. Sensors with spatial multilevel structures possess high sensitivity (5.13 kPa −1 ), fast response/recovery time (80 and 120 ms), and an ultra-low detection limit of 1 Pa. Wearable devices prepared on the basis of the sensors are capable of being applied to applications such as motion detection, body temperature monitoring, and energy harvesting.…”
In recent years, the prevalence of cervical spondylosis has been increasing, which is associated with unhealthy posture in daily life, flexible pressure sensors are beneficial in preventing cervical spine disorders. This work is dedicated to developing a flexible, high‐performance, and breathable device to monitor the health of the neck. Here, a flexible pressure sensor with a “sandwich” structure is presented, which incorporates patterned xylon fabric as the substrate and MXene as the sensitive layer. Furthermore, the application of silver nanowires (AgNWs) as the electrode material improves the piezoresistive performance. Combined with an internal elastic encapsulation method (IEEM), the sensor exhibits high sensitivity (1417.9 kPa−1 under pressure below 100 kPa) and a fast response time (30.77 ms). Compared with traditional flexible pressure sensors, the breathability of devices with an all‐fiber structure is nearly seven times higher, which better satisfies the monitoring requirements of long‐term wear. Finally, a wireless system is established by integrating a Bluetooth module and a terminal app. It enables monitoring and sensing of various physiological signals of the neck, as well as identification and alerting of long‐term poor posture such as prolonged neck flexion, showing a potential candidate for the applications of the next‐generation wearable device.
