To integrate an Ion Polymer Metal Compound (IPMC) sensor into a wearable fabric.

Main Methods:

Fabrication of an Ion Polymer Metal Compound (IPMC) using Nafion resin, heat-pressing, and gold plating.
Integration of the fabricated IPMC device into a cotton cloth.
Measurement of generated voltage as a function of bending angle to quantify displacement.

Main Results:

The IPMC-based smart textile successfully detected angular displacement of an attached surface.
The device demonstrated sensitivity to multidirectional movements when woven into fabric.
Generated voltage correlated with the bending angle, enabling quantitative measurement.

Conclusions:

The developed smart textile device effectively senses angular displacement using IPMC technology.
This wearable sensor shows promise for applications requiring motion detection in textiles.
Further research can explore advanced integration and diverse application scenarios for IPMC-based smart textiles.
