Abstract

Smart textile represents a novel and extremely fast-growing area in the well-established wearable sensors field. The possibility to integrate sensing and monitoring features to standard garments as shirts or bands using exclusively textile substrate is capturing a lot of attention. This article presents a good example of a compact, cost-effective, and comfortable textile thread sensor that can monitor the chloride concentration in human sweat for healthcare and sports applications. The single-thread sensor is based on conductive polymers poly(3,4-ethylene dioxythiophene):poly(styrene-sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) and nano-composite material (silver-silver chloride nanoparticles) deposited on a common cotton thread, and easily scalable for large-scale production. The sensitivity, selectivity, electrolyte volume independent performances, and reliability are evaluated in artificial human sweat showing the chance to achieve a point-of-care sweat analysis for a large textile multi-sensing platform.
