Nanostructured gas sensors integrated into fabric for wearable breath monitoring system

Published: 08 September 2013 Publication History

Abstract

This paper presents a technology to design and fabricate nanostructured gas sensors in fabric substrates. Nanostructured gas sensors were fabricated by constructing ZnO nanorods on fabrics including polyester, cotton and polyimide for continuous monitoring of wearer's breath gas that can indicate health status. The developed fabric-based gas sensors demonstrated gas sensing by monitoring electrical resistance change upon exposure of acetone and ethanol gases.
