摘要:
Sensors mounted on a textile include at least one of electrically conductive textile electrodes single or multiple optically coupled infrared and red emitter and photodiode or photo transistor and thin film or Resistive Temperature Detector (RTD). Textile electrodes, electrical connections, and electrical functionalization use at least one of nanoparticles, nanostructures, and mesostructures. Conductive thread, for electrical connections, may include a fiber core made from conductive materials such as but not limited to metals, alloys, and graphine structures, and a sheath of insulating materials such as but not limited to nylon, polyester, and cotton.
