Abstract

This paper presents the fabrication, electromechanical modelling and testing of a highly stretchable textile-dielectric elastomer capacitive sensor for capturing motion. The proposed sensor is made of conductive fabric as electrode and ultra-thin dielectric elastomer film as dielectric. This type of capacitive sensor exhibits high linearity and sensitivity as compare to available commercial sensors. By using basic calibration technique integrated with microelectronics, such sensors can easily capture motion and can also be paired with a mobile application, which is capable of visualizing the recorded 3D movement in real time domain, has the potential to be used in wearables.
