Abstract
Wearable sensors to monitor human sweat loss are important for real-time health monitoring, requiring electrically conductive, mechanically flexible fabrics as working electrodes. Here, a textile-based sweat monitor was fabricated by screen printing of carbon black and recycled sericin on cotton fabrics. The obtained fabric with excellent flexibility, good hydrophilicity (86°), and proper resistivity (61.7 Ω/cm2) can be used as a working electrode for a wearable sweat monitor. A wearable sweat monitor is highly sensitive (42.7% in acidic sweat), flexible, and can be washed (99.1% retention after 30 washes). This work offers a promising approach for the fabrication of wearable sensors and promotes the widespread applications of personalized health-monitoring devices.
