Optimization of Knitted Structures for E-Textiles Applications †

Abstract

The findings of this research attempt to evaluate the electrical and compression features of electrically conductive yarns (ECY) as well as the structure of sensor systems, such as single jersey and double jersey knit designs, for healthcare applications and wearing technologies. The tensile properties and electrical properties of conductive yarns were optimized basis of the findings. Owing to the knit-tuck stitches arrangement, which gives density to the fabric, the double lacoste, popcorn, and milano ribs were proven to have adequate compressive resilience. The developed knitted structures kinds of sensors were noticed and may easily be applied to global smart socks manufacture as well as other technologies.
