Studies of Stability in Electrical Property and Sensitivity of Polypyrrole Conductive Fabrics Used for Intelligent Flexible Sensors

Electrically conducting fabrics used as flexible sensors can be produced by vacuumed vapor deposition. The research of what impacts the wide and reliable application of the flexible sensors shows that the stability of flexible sensors is one of the critical issues. The electrical performance of weft knitted fabrics in course and wale direction does not show significant differences underdifferent ambient conditions,which include time,temperature,and relativehumidity. Tests of stimuli responding sensitivity of conductive fabrics indicate that the sensitivity keeps at a constant level and the average sensitivity is stable over 38 days.
