In this study, we explore how the strategic positioning of conductive yarns influences the performance of plated knit strain sensors fabricated using commercial knitting machines with both conductive and non-conductive yarns. Our study reveals that sensors with conductive yarns located at the rear, referred to as ‘purl plated sensors’, exhibit superior performance in comparison to those with conductive yarns at the front, or ‘knit plated sensors’. Specifically, purl plated sensors demonstrate a higher sensitivity, evidenced by a gauge factor ranging from 3 to 18, and a minimized strain delay, indicated by a 1% strain in their electromechanical response. To elucidate the mechanisms behind these observations, we developed an equivalent circuit model. This model examines the role of contact resistance within varying yarn configurations on the sensors’ sensitivity, highlighting the critical influence of contact resistance in conductive yarns subjected to wale-wise stretching on sensor responsiveness. Furthermore, our findings illustrate that the purl plated sensors benefit from the vertical movement of non-conductive yarns, which promotes enhanced contact between adjacent conductive yarns, thereby improving both the stability and sensitivity of the sensors. The practicality of these sensors is confirmed through bending cycle tests with an in situ monitoring system, showcasing the purl plated sensors’ exceptional reproducibility, with a standard deviation of 0.015 across 1000 cycles, and their superior sensitivity, making them ideal for wearable devices designed for real-time joint movement monitoring. This research highlights the critical importance of conductive yarn placement in sensor efficacy, providing valuable guidance for crafting advanced textile-based strain sensors. |
