Abstract:

In order to solve the problem of temperature sensors easily slipping and improve the precision of temperature measurement in temperature sensing fabric, a specially designed fabric was developed. In this paper, the fabric comprised plain and multi-layered fabric. Sensors were embedded into the multi-layered fabric. The multi-layered fabric was treated by partial heat treatment to make the temperature sensors be fixed to the fabric. The temperature sensing fabrics were measured before and after the partial heat treatment. The results showed that during the heat treatment, the number of fabric layers and fabric organization had an effect on temperature measurement, and the values measured after partial heat treatment were closer to the true value than without treatment. In addition, with an increase in the number of fabric layesr, the values measured were closer to the real value. And the measurement results were closer to the true value when the multi-layered fabric’s organizational structure was plain.
