Honeycomb woven fabric is a single-layer fabric with three-dimensional effect. The effect is attributed to the increased length of warp and weft floats from the center to the sides of a weave unit, resulting in an inverted pyramid space on surface and an internal closed space in fabric. In order to study the practical application of such fabrics, 12 honeycomb woven fabrics were fabricated by considering the type of weft yarns (PET FDYs/PET DTYs/carbon fibers) and weft density (60/80/100 yarns per inch). Physical properties, including air permeability, warmth retention, water absorption, vapor transfer and flexible rigidity, compressibility and tensile properties, were all investigated. In addition, the characteristics of as-made fabrics were explored as a flexible normal pressure sensor with the capacitive structure of carbon fiber bundles, including the sensitivity, hysteresis and repeatability. The results showed that the weft density and elastic yarns have a regular influence on the physical properties, and the carbon fibers increase the initial modulus remarkably. Besides, an excellent sensing performance of as-made fabric was noted to be a flexible pressure sensor. Demonstrations of such fabric sensor in detecting finger pressing and object placing were performed, and corresponding actions were noted for the output clear and effective capacitive signals.

在蜂窝织物表面周期性镶嵌碳纤维束制作常压传感器

蜂窝织物是一种具有立体效果的单层织物。该效应归因于经纱和纬纱从组织单元的中心向两侧浮动的长度增加，导致表面上的倒金字塔空间和织物的内部封闭空间。为了研究这种织物的实际应用，通过考虑纬纱类型（PET FDYs / PET DTYs /碳纤维）和纬纱密度（每英寸60/80/100纱）制造了12种蜂窝织物。物理性能，包括透气性、保暖性、吸水性、蒸汽传输和柔性刚度、压缩性和拉伸性能，都进行了研究。此外，探索了作为具有碳纤维束电容结构的柔性常压传感器的织物特性，包括灵敏度、滞后和重复性。结果表明，纬密和弹力纱线对物理性能有规律的影响，碳纤维显着提高了初始模量。此外，作为一种灵活的压力传感器，制成的织物具有出色的传感性能。进行了这种织物传感器在检测手指按压和物体放置方面的演示，并注意到输出清晰有效的电容信号的相应动作。
