AbstractIn recent times, applications like strain sensors, triboelectricnanogenerators etc. have been a topic of interest in field of textiles.We have been working on development of these sensors as theproduct developed from these can prove to be very cost-effective.We have been working with various textile materials exhibitingdifferent properties on various platforms like knitting, weaving etc. tooptimize our results according to our requirements in medicalapplications such as force sensor in Gait lab, respiration & motionsensors.
IntroductionTENG device can generate electrical signals from mechanicalmotion such as impact, sliding etc. Contact and separation betweentwo layers having opposite tribopolarity induced potentialdifference, which drives electron to create signals.Conductive textile filaments/yarns have been developed to be usedin strain sensors. These conductive filaments/yarns whenincorporated in fabrics can exhibit different resistance values whenstrain is applied due to variation in contact points and deformation.This variation in resistance can be quantified and can be used invarious applications.

Figure 2 operating mechanism of strain sensor
•Results with various structures shows different outputsignals for voltage and current. Higher contact areabetween layers shows increase in output.•These principle can be implemented in force sensors usedin GAIT analysis as well as pressure sensors for analysingwalking pattern.•Effect of extension on resistance properties of strain sensorshows its feasibility to use as a respiration motion sensor.
