Abstract
in the 0.2-2.0 kPa pressure range, while the presence of thermochromic microcapsules allows the fibrous sensor to exhibit different colors at different temperatures: blue at 18 °C, purple at 40 °C and green at 60 °C. The multifunctional fibrous sensor can monitor human joint activity and environmental temperature changes in real time, and is easier to integrate into wearable fabrics due to its fiber shape, offering new possibilities for wearable health monitoring.
