Abstract
Smart textiles have been widely discussed as a result of a fact that wearable technique has been used in healthcare, sports, tele-rehabilitation, and military fields. Textiles are characterized as comfortable, and thus suitable for long-term wearing, and therefore this study proposes to prepare humidity-sensitive textiles with electrical conductivity. Woven manufacturing is used in order to provide the textiles with desired mechanical properties of the woven fabrics that use high strength polyester (PET) fibers as the warp yarn, and cotton fibers and stainless steel fibers as two weft yarn types. Cotton fibers are water absorbent, while stainless steel fibers are electrically conductive and thus are able to provide sensing function. The humidity-sensitivity of the textiles relies on electrical conductivity; this study observe the fabric structure, water contact angle, and electrical conductivity of the fabrics in order to fabricate mechanically strong and humidity sensitive smart textiles.
