A Textile-Based Stretchable Multi-Ion Potentiometric Sensor

Adv Healthc Mater. 2016 May;5(9):996-1001. doi: 10.1002/adhm.201600092. Epub 2016 Mar 9.

Abstract

A textile-based wearable multi-ion potentiometric sensor array is described. The printed flexible sensors operate favorably under extreme mechanical strains (that reflect daily activity) while offering attractive real-time noninvasive monitoring of electrolytes such as sodium and potassium.

Keywords: electrolytes; screen printing; stretchable potentiometric sensors; wearable textiles.
