Piezoresistive Resistance Data Sheet
A sandwich structure using conductive PCB silver thin films on the top and bottom layers. Under a 0–2 kg applied force over a 1 cm-diameter contact area, the values shown represent the average of five measurements. This dataset serves as a material performance reference.
A piezoresistive textile sensor converts applied pressure into resistance changes using a layered fabric structure. Zebra-pattern conductive electrodes sandwich a carbon-based piezoresistive fabric. Under compression, internal contact points increase, lowering resistance. Finer electrode line spacing generates denser sensing matrices, improving spatial resolution, flexibility, and signal stability for wearables, soft robotics, and pressure-mapping systems.
A capacitive textile sensor consists of flexible top and bottom conductive electrodes separated by a soft dielectric textile layer. When pressure is applied, the distance between electrodes decreases and the effective dielectric structure changes, resulting in a measurable capacitance variation. This fabric-based architecture provides excellent conformability, stable signal response, and reliable pressure sensing on curved or dynamic surfaces.

FAQ
Does the fabric maintain conductivity after long-term fatigue, folding, or abrasion?
Yes. The conductive network is integrated into the yarn or fabric structure, so it resists cracking or delamination. Unlike thin films or PCB traces, the textile architecture distributes mechanical stress across many fibers, allowing stable conductivity even after extensive folding, rubbing, or mechanical fatigue.
How does humidity, temperature, or sweat affect surface resistance and signal consistency?
Environmental effects vary by material. Carbon-based textiles show minimal drift, while silver or copper coatings may oxidize more quickly. Stainless-steel and carbon-based options offer much stronger stability, with some passing 72-hour salt-spray testing. The best choice depends on the customer’s performance and environmental requirements.
Can the fabric be customized in resistance range, GSM, yarn type, or structure for specific sensing needs?
Yes. We understand that every sensing design is different, and many applications require customized solutions rather than standard products. Our conductive textiles can be tailored in surface resistance, GSM, yarn composition, and fabric structure to meet specific performance targets such as sensitivity, response curve, durability, or integration method.
