Abstract

Abstract Wearable pressure sensors, which can perceive and respond to environmental stimuli, are essential components of smart textiles. Here, large‐area all‐textile‐based pressure‐sensor arrays are successfully realized on common fabric substrates. The textile sensor unit achieves high sensitivity (14.4 kPa −1 ), low detection limit (2 Pa), fast response (≈24 ms), low power consumption (<6 µW), and mechanical stability under harsh deformations. Thanks to these merits, the textile sensor is demonstrated to be able to recognize finger movement, hand gestures, acoustic vibrations, and real‐time pulse wave. Furthermore, large‐area sensor arrays are successfully fabricated on one textile substrate to spatially…
