Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,  

The development of wearable electronics and artificial sensing have drawn strong interest over the last decade years. Wearable electronics provide intelligent assistance for people on augmenting energy, memory, communication and sensing. Wearable sensors, a part of wearable electronics, expand people's perception ability in a lightweight, convenient and fashionable way. Many different types of sensors have been applied in wearable electronics to sense the internal physiological state of the human body, epidermal skin state and external environment information. However, existing commercial wearable sensors are bulky integrated with watch, ring, glass and necklace. Beside comfortable and unobtrusive to wear, wearable sensors are required to be robust, small, high performance and power efficiency. This special issue is dedicated to state-of-the-art research that is focused on wearable sensors applied in artificial perception, including optics, smell, touch, taste and auditory perception. Papers describing novel flexible sensing materials, sensing mechanisms, sensing signal processing, practical wearable sensor technology and applications are of interest.

Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:

  • Flexible electronic materials;
  • MEMS/NEMS for flexible, stretchable and wearable sensors;
  • Soft electronic;
  • Wearable sensors;
  • Implantable electrodes;
  • Wearable integrated systems.
  • Smart textiles
  • Flexible strain sensors
  • Epidermal skin
  • Sensing signal processing
  • Wearable and flexible devices based on conductive yarn electrode

Abstract
“Tatami” is the most commonly used needle type in computer embroidery. Its uniform yarn, contact point and gap arrangement can greatly reduce the resistance of fabric electrodes (0.65 MΩ–4.9 MΩ) and the impedance between electrodes and human skin (2.455 MΩ), which can meet [...] Read more.
“Tatami” is the most commonly used needle type in computer embroidery. Its uniform yarn, contact point and gap arrangement can greatly reduce the resistance of fabric electrodes (0.65 MΩ–4.9 MΩ) and the impedance between electrodes and human skin (2.455 MΩ), which can meet the requirements of intelligent wearable devices for long-time electrocardiogram monitoring. In this work, properties of a fabric electrode were tested. Its air permeability and wear resistance are good, although human sweat will lead to different degrees of resistance of stainless steel embroidery electrode. It will not change its performance too much. Generally speaking, the wearing performance and ECG (electrocardiogram) monitoring performance of the stainless steel embroidery electrode are stable.
