Abstract
Abstract This study investigates the application of textile electrodes using PANI (Polyaniline) conductive material for motion sensing, specifically aimed at motion monitoring for the elderly. By depositing a PANI conductive layer on the base of warp-knitted fabric through in-situ polymerization and plasma treatment, a PCCWKF (Polyaniline Coated Conductive Warp-Knitted Fabric) with enhanced electrical conductivity and mechanical flexibility was developed. The research optimized the electrical resistivity and durability of PCCWKF by incorporating Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) as a toughening agent, improving the adhesion of the PANI conductive layer to the textile substrate. The sensor’s efficacy in accurately recording and monitoring motion amplitude and frequency in real-time was demonstrated through its application in smart clothing, focusing on respiratory, elbow, and knee motion monitoring. This study holds significant implications for the advancement of wearable technology and smart textiles in the health monitoring of the elderly.
