Study of Performance of Knitted Conductive Sleeves as Wearable Textile Strain Sensors for Joint Motion Tracking (2020)
Conference Proceeding
Isaia, C., McMaster, S. A., & McNally, D. (2020). Study of Performance of Knitted Conductive Sleeves as Wearable Textile Strain Sensors for Joint Motion Tracking. In 42nd Annual International Conferences of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society in conjunction with the 43rd Annual Conference of the Canadian Medical and Biological Engineering Society (4555-4558). https://doi.org/10.1109/EMBC44109.2020.9176429

Textile-based strain sensors combine wearability with strain sensing functionality by using only the tensile and electrical properties of the threads they are made of. In this study, two conductive sleeves were manufactured for the elbow and three fo...

Effect of mechanical preconditioning on the electrical properties of knitted conductive textiles during cyclic loading (2018)
Journal Article
Isaia, C., McNally, D. S., McMaster, S. A., & Branson, D. T. (in press). Effect of mechanical preconditioning on the electrical properties of knitted conductive textiles during cyclic loading. Textile Research Journal, https://doi.org/10.1177/0040517517748496

This paper presents, for the first time, the electrical response of knitted conductive fabrics to a considerable number of cycles of deformation in view of their use as wearable sensors. The changes in the electrical properties of four knitted conduc...
