The Effect of Perspiring on Conductivity in Electronic Textile Design

OpenAlex İngilizce

It is seen great advances in technology in recent years. One of these advances has become in smart textile. Although there are many different definitions, usually smart textiles can be defined “sense and respond to environmental stimuli”. They have been different application areas such as e-textiles, nano textiles, technical textiles, etc. In the last decades, e-textiles developments come to the fore in the smart textiles. E-textiles contain some digital, electronical circuits, sensors and textile based materials such as conductive fiber, yarn and fabrics. A lot of products can be made in this industry but the effects of environmental stimulis such as human perspiring on these products are not examined so much. In this study, it was examined the conductivity of e-textile fabrics in the changing different pH values according to genders.
