Abstract

Capacitive sensing is been used in E-Textiles for touch sensing and proximity sensing applications. The common approach is been to construct electrode on top of a non conducting fabric structure. Woven & knitted fabric structures are been used for the construction. Metallic wire and conductive material coated fibres are primarily been used. Due to the performance degradation and poor comfort of these constructions we had constructed electrodes with inherently conductive polymers and multifilament metallic fibres by integrating into fibre meshed structures such that the electrodes are a part of the base structure. We had used capacitive and resistive techniques for the measurements. Out of many mechanical methods of fibre integrating processors we had used flat bed knitting technology. In this paper we had discussed the construction, sensing and applications of capacitive fibre-meshed transducers and their applications.
