  1. 1. Textile Sensor Using Piezoelectric Fibers for Measuring Dynamic Compression in a Bowel Stent

    University essay from Högskolan i Borås/Institutionen Textilhögskolan

    Author : ANNA VAHLBERG; [2014]
    Keywords : Piezoelectricity; advanced textile structure; textile sensor; piezoelectric poly vinylidene fluoride; PVDF ; textile medical device; self-sensing stent;

    Abstract : In this experimental study the in-lined poled piezoelectric poly(vinylidene fluoride)(PVDF) bicomponent fiber was investigated the suitability in applications within the area of textile sensors when used in a bowel stent. Today there are only piezoelectric films made of PVDF available. READ MORE

  3. 2. Characterization and Manufacturing of Textile Pressure Sensors based on Piezoelectric Fibres

    University essay from Högskolan i Borås/Institutionen Textilhögskolan

    Author : NIEKE SARINK; [2014]
    Keywords : Piezoelectric; Poly vinylidene fluoride PVDF ; textile pressure sensor; knitting;

    Abstract : The main purpose of this thesis was to investigate and characterize the use of piezoelectric yarn for use in textile (fingertip) pressure sensors in glove applications. Such applications could include healthcare, security and safety, game applications or intelligent control. Piezoelectric materials generate a voltage when pressed or squeezed. READ MORE

  4. 3. Piezoelectric behaviour of woven constructions based on poly(vinylidene fluoride) bicomponent fibres

    University essay from Högskolan i Borås/Institutionen Textilhögskolan

    Author : KARIN RUNDQVIST; [2013]
    Keywords : Piezoelectricity; poly vinylidene; fluoride ; PVDF ; ; bicomponent fibre; conductive fibres; textile sensor; tensile sensor; weaving;

    Abstract : During this project it was investigated how the newly developed piezoelectric PVDF bicomponent fibre behaved when integrated in different weave constructions. The possibility to integrate conductive yarns as outer electrode was studied in order to see if it was possible to create a fully textile piezoelectric sensors. READ MORE
