El repte/The challenge
The technology pretends to answer to the necessity of take measures of some parameters related with strain, which can be observed in different situations, and do it with the least impact and the major integrability. The smart-textiles provide the opportunity to increase the applications where a textile sensor could be used and uses sensors in applications where it could not have done because the lack of resources or the impact that involve the integration
La tecnologia/The technology
An embroidered strain sensor in an elastic textile substrate is presented which is capable of varying its total resistance in function of its elongation state that is applied to it. This property, in joint with the embroidered pattern, allows that sensor can be build with an elastic conductive yarn or with a non-elastic conductive yarn, giving a different possibilities to produce it
