Solution-processed Au–Ag core–shell nanoparticle-decorated yarns for human motion monitoring

Abstract

Wearable strain sensors based on Au–Ag core–shell nanoparticle decorated yarns were fabricated by a solution-based approach. Smart wearable systems with our strain sensors that can monitor various human motions, including finger motion, marching and squatting, and transmit the information of human motion in real time to an LED light was demonstrated.
