Multi‐Scenario Applications of Multi‐Dimensional Yarn‐Based Wearable Integrated Sensors

Abstract

Abstract1D yarn sensors, crucial for smart textiles, face challenges in achieving diverse functionalities, multiple applications, and durability in harsh environments. Herein, a simple strategy is proposed to prepare reduced graphene oxide‐polyimide yarns (rGO‐PYs), constructing functional and multi‐dimensional sensors for multi‐scenario applications. rGO‐PYs can detect multiple mechanical stimuli, and exhibit a broad bending and pressure response range (0°–180° and 0.12–62.39 KPa), quick response and recovery time (both <100 ms), and excellent cyclic stability. It features real‐time monitoring of human activities, such as joint movements, speech, writing, respiratory, pulse, and heart rate. rGO‐PYs exhibit a remarkable resilience to harsh environments, whether in liquid nitrogen (−196 °C), high temperature (300 °C), acid, or base. Crucially, expanded into an integrated 2D fabric, rGO‐PYs maintain their exceptional multi‐dimensional sensing. The point contact pressure sensor (PCPS) and pressure sensing array showed remarkable sensing performance in identifying pressure and its distribution. This work establishes a comprehensive system from preparation to application, encompassing 1D yarns large‐scale fabrication, functional sensing validation, integration into multi‐dimensional sensors, and diverse cross‐scenario applications. The innovative system would transform traditional yarns into intelligent fabrics, further advancing functional yarns into multi‐dimensional sensors (1D to 2D and 3D), enabling their diverse multi‐scenario applications.
