Abstrakt: This paper studies the suitability of conductive knit fabric in order to produce a reliable breathing sensor. Conductive single jersey knit fabrics was manufactured from silver coated nylon yarn with different production parameters (stitch type (ST) - combination ratio (CR) of conductive yarn to the non-conductive one and number of needles (NN)). A cyclic tester was built to simulate the breathing mechanism of a human being and to explore the influence of these parameters on the gauge factor. The results show that the production parameters have a significant effect on the results of the gauge factor. The best sample suited for breathing sensor is the one with normal knit stitch, less CR and increase in width (NN). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
