Abstract

Wearable sensing textiles with continuous temperature monitoring, tactile feedback, and motion perception are highly desirable for personal safeguarding in extreme environments, such as fire scenes and extreme sports. However, it remains challenging for current wearable sensors to maintain reliable performance and provide point-of-care monitoring in harsh environments, such as high- and low-temperature or high-humidity conditions. Herein, a robust temperature and pressure sensing textile (TPST) with a hierarchical triple-weaving structure is developed using industrial weaving technology. The well-engineered interlacing configuration of the polyimide binding yarns in the triple-weaving structure tightly solidifies the carbon-based sensing yarns between two weaving layers, forming an integrated textile sensing array. The TPST not only exhibits excellent sensing sensitivity, reliability, and rapid response to pressure and temperature stimuli but also shows robust mechanical properties, flame resistance, and wearing comfort. Moreover, we demonstrate the application of the TPST for continuous temperature monitoring, human motion mapping, and vital sign monitoring. This technology offers significant potential for enhancing autonomous rescue operations and defense wearables.
