Abstract
Polymeric semiconductors in the form of spun fibers and fiber
coatings possess electromechanical transduction properties suitable for
the implementation of smart fabrics incorporating distributed strain and
temperature sensors and contractile actuators. In addition,
“all-polymer” flexible devices acting as active electronic
components (transistors) have been recently disclosed (F. Garnier et
al., Science, vol. 265, p. 1684-6, 1994), making eventually possible the
implementation of processing functions into fabric substrates. The key
element to realize sensorized fabrics systems is to reach a form which
allows their integration into wearable garments
