Abstract
- Long-term wearing comfort is essential for future advanced electronic textiles (e-textiles). Herein, we fabricate a skin-comfortable e-textile for long-term wearing experience on human epidermis. Such e-textile was simply fabricated through two different dip coating methods and single-side air plasma treatment, which couples radiative thermal and moisture management for biofluid monitoring. The silk-based substrate with improved optical properties and anisotropic wettability can provide a temperature drop of 1.4 °C under strong sunlight. Moreover, the anisotropic wettability of the e-textile can provide a dryer skin microenvironment by comparing with traditional fabric. The fiber electrodes weaving into the inner side of the substrate can noninvasively monitor multiple sweat biomarkers (i.e., pH, uric acid, and Na+). Such a synergistic strategy may pave a new path to design next-generation e-textiles with significantly improved comfort. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
