Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of textiles, and relates to a tubular woven fabric sensor for sweat monitoring and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Sweat is a kind of biological fluid that is easy to collect and non-invasive, and contains a variety of biological components that can reflect physiological conditions. Human body is prone to produce sweat under thermal or pressure stimulation, and by analyzing the content of vitamin C and other components in sweat, the level of vitamin C in blood can be indirectly evaluated to realize health monitoring of human body. However, the traditional blood detection method has the problems of strong invasiveness and poor real-time performance, and is difficult to meet the needs of daily continuous monitoring.

[0003] At present, there are studies that use wearable flexible sensors to detect sweat components in real time, among which the patch-type sensor is the mainstream form. For example, the document (A multi-channel wearable sensing patch based on gate-all-around field-effect transistors. Lab on a Chip, 2025, 25, 4317-4327.) reports a multi-channel wearable sensing patch based on gate-all-around field-effect transistors, which can realize the detection of multiple sweat biomarkers, and demonstrates the application potential of patch-type sweat sensors in non-invasive and multi-index continuous monitoring. For example, US patent No. US11399743B2 discloses a wearable sweat sensing device, which includes a biochemical sensing patch assembly and a channel structure for collecting sweat, which can guide the sweat across the sensor on the skin surface and output an electrical signal for evaluating information such as human hydration status.

[0004] Such patch-type sensors integrate functional materials on a flexible substrate, which physically or chemically interacts with sweat components, causing changes in electrical signals, thereby realizing indirect acquisition of physiological information. However, patch-type sensors still have the following limitations in practical application:

[0005] (1) The patch substrate has poor air permeability, and long-term wearing can cause skin discomfort;

[0006] (2) The adhesion performance is affected by factors such as sweat and time, and it is difficult to maintain firm adhesion;

[0007] (3) The mechanical properties of the patch are difficult to match the mechanical properties of the skin, and local foreign body sensation is easy to occur during human activity, affecting the wearing comfort and stability.

[0008] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a wearable sweat component monitoring device with good comfort and firmness, which is of great significance to meet the needs of long-term real-time monitoring of sweat components. SUMMARY

[0009] The purpose of the present application is to solve the problems in the prior art and provide a tubular woven fabric sensor for sweat monitoring and a preparation method thereof.

[0010] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical scheme adopted by the present application is as follows:

[0011] A tubular woven fabric sensor for sweat monitoring is a one-piece fabric, a part of the area is a three-layer composite structure, including a working layer, an elastic layer and a hydrophobic layer arranged in order from inside to outside, and the adjacent two layers are connected by connecting yarns, and the other part of the area is a single-layer structure, which is only an elastic layer.

[0012] The working layer is composed of a working electrode area, a counter electrode area, a reference electrode area and a non-electrode area; at least part of the yarns in the working electrode area contain a substance that can undergo redox reaction with vitamin C; at least part of the yarns in the working electrode area, the counter electrode area and the reference electrode area are conductive yarns; the working electrode area and the reference electrode area are arranged at intervals along the weft direction, and the counter electrode area is arranged at intervals along the warp direction with the working electrode area and the reference electrode area.

[0013] The principle of the present application is as follows:

[0014] The content of vitamin C in human sweat can reflect the nutritional status of the human body, so monitoring the content of vitamin C in sweat can realize the evaluation of the nutritional status of the human body. There are currently commercial sensors that can be used for sweat vitamin C detection, and some flexible patch-type sensors can also achieve this function. However, most of the existing commercial sensors are large or hard in structure, which is not convenient to carry and wear; and although the patch-type sensor can be attached to the skin, it is difficult to meet the needs of long-term real-time monitoring due to problems such as non-breathable substrate and easy to fall off.

[0015] The present application provides a tubular woven fabric sensor for detecting the content of vitamin C in sweat, which adopts a multi-layer fabric organizational structure, including an elastic layer, a working layer, a hydrophobic layer and connecting yarns, the connecting yarns penetrate the working layer, the elastic layer and the hydrophobic layer, firmly combining the working layer, the elastic layer and the hydrophobic layer into one body. The sensor can be worn on multiple parts of the human body, and the working layer is provided with a substance that can react with vitamin C, such as conductive metal organic framework, which supports real-time detection of sweat and maintains firm contact with the skin when the body is moving vigorously or subjected to physical impact.

[0016] Specifically, the elastic layer has excellent elasticity, and the tubular shape facilitates wearing and fixing on different parts of the human body. The working layer is a three-electrode system based on fabric, which directly contacts the skin and sweat. The three-electrode system includes a working electrode, a reference electrode, and a counter electrode. When vitamin C in sweat diffuses to the surface of the working electrode, an electrochemical oxidation reaction occurs under a constant applied potential, vitamin C loses electrons to generate oxidation products, and the released electrons are introduced into the external circuit through the working electrode, forming a measurable current signal. The reference electrode provides a stable potential reference and does not participate in the reaction, ensuring that the working electrode potential is controlled. The counter electrode compensates as a current loop, balances charge transfer, and maintains the reaction continuously. Under the synergistic action of the three electrodes, the measured current signal is directly related to the reaction rate of vitamin C, and the current intensity has a certain response relationship with the content of vitamin C, so that the quantitative or semi-quantitative analysis of vitamin C in sweat can be realized through this response relationship. The working layer is interwoven with conductive yarns in each electrode area, effectively conducting electrical signals. The hydrophobic layer blocks liquid water, while the interlaced weft and warp endow the fabric with good air permeability.

[0017] In addition, the tubular woven fabric sensor adopts a multi-shuttle weaving process, and multiple weft yarns can be integrated into the same fabric by referring to the existing multi-weft weaving process, achieving one-piece molding. The number of weft yarns in the fabric is consistent with the number of shuttles, ensuring that different functional areas are realized in the same fabric layer.

[0018] As a preferred technical solution:

[0019] The tubular woven fabric sensor for sweat monitoring has the following advantages: the warp yarns in the working electrode area, the warp yarns in the reference electrode area, and the binder yarns are all circular cross-section polyester multifilaments. The circular cross-section polyester fiber has good mechanical strength, dimensional stability, and water resistance, and is not prone to swelling, deformation, or performance degradation in a long-term sweat soaking environment, which can better ensure the structural stability and repeatability of the tubular woven fabric during use. The linear density of the circular cross-section polyester multifilament is 30-150 denier, and the number of single filaments in the cross-section is 24-144, which can better ensure the structural stability and processability. Too few single filaments will increase the rigidity of the yarn and reduce the adhesion, which is easy to cause local stress concentration, and too many single filaments will easily cause single filament breakage and increase the number of hairs.

[0020] The tubular woven fabric sensor for sweat monitoring as described above, the warp yarns and weft yarns in the counter electrode area are all circular cross-section silver-plated polyamide multifilaments, which can better ensure the stable conductivity of the counter electrode area under the conditions of fabric bending and dynamic wearing by taking advantage of the good flexibility and fatigue resistance of polyamide and the stable conductive path provided by the silver-plated layer; the linear density of the circular cross-section silver-plated polyamide multifilament is 40-200 denier, and the number of filaments in the cross-section is 24-144, and too small linear density will reduce the load of the conductive layer, and too large linear density will reduce the flexibility of the fabric; too few filaments will easily increase the rigidity, and too many filaments will easily cause the silver-plated layer to wear or fall off, and controlling the linear density within the range of 40-200 denier and the number of filaments within the range of 24-144 can better balance the conductivity, flexibility and structural stability.

[0021] The tubular woven fabric sensor for sweat monitoring as described above, the warp yarns and weft yarns in the counter electrode area are all circular cross-section silver-plated polyamide multifilaments, which can better ensure the stable conductivity of the counter electrode area under the conditions of fabric bending and dynamic wearing by taking advantage of the good flexibility and fatigue resistance of polyamide and the stable conductive path provided by the silver-plated layer; the linear density of the circular cross-section silver-plated polyamide multifilament is 40-200 denier, and the number of filaments in the cross-section is 24-144, and too small linear density will reduce the load of the conductive layer, and too large linear density will reduce the flexibility of the fabric; too few filaments will easily increase the rigidity, and too many filaments will easily cause the silver-plated layer to wear or fall off, and controlling the linear density within the range of 40-200 denier and the number of filaments within the range of 24-144 can better balance the conductivity, flexibility and structural stability.

[0022] The tubular woven fabric sensor for sweat monitoring as described above, the weft yarns in the working electrode area are metal-organic framework-containing yarns, the metal-organic framework material has adjustable pore structure and high specific surface area, which can provide a more stable reaction interface during contact with sweat, and better ensure the response stability of the working electrode area to the change of vitamin C in sweat, the metal-organic framework-containing yarn is composed of a core yarn and an outer wrapping yarn spirally wound on the surface of the core yarn, and the spiral winding makes the surface of the core yarn per unit length have a higher load of the functional material of the conductive metal-organic framework; the core yarn is an irregular cross-section polyester multifilament, which is used to better maintain the overall structure and mechanical properties of the yarn; the outer wrapping yarn is an irregular cross-section polyester multifilament coated with a conductive metal-organic framework, and the winding twist is 1000-1500 twists per meter, which can better ensure the winding stability and flexibility, and too low winding twist will reduce the winding stability, and too high winding twist will affect the sweat infiltration and the flexibility of the yarn;

[0023] The linear density of the shaped cross-section polyester multifilament is 30-150 denier, the number of single filaments in the cross-section is 24-72, and the single filament cross-section is a cross shape. The core yarn and the outer wrapping yarn are selected from the shaped cross-section polyester multifilament. The single filaments in the cross shape are more conducive to forming capillary channels, further promoting the transmission of sweat to the functional layer of the conductive metal organic framework. The linear density and the number of single filaments in the cross-section are respectively controlled in the range of 30-150 denier and 24-72, which can better balance the moisture-wicking ability and structural stability.

[0024] A preparation step of the shaped cross-section polyester multifilament coated with the conductive metal organic framework for the tubular woven fabric sensor for sweat monitoring is as follows:

[0025] (a) Disperse 2,3,6,7,10,11-hexahydroxytriphenyl with Ni(OAc)2·4H2O in deionized water at a molar ratio of 1:20-40, and after ultrasonic treatment, react under heating conditions (reaction temperature is 80-100°C, reaction time is 20-60 min) to obtain a conductive metal organic framework powder;

[0026] (b) Wash the conductive metal organic framework powder in sequence (wash 2-5 times alternately with deionized water and ethanol to remove unreacted ligands and metal salts), solvent exchange (soak in ethanol for solvent exchange, solvent exchange time is 12-48 h, and the ethanol can be replaced periodically during the period), and activation treatment (heat treatment under vacuum or inert atmosphere at 80-150°C for 2-12 h);

[0027] (c) Disperse the conductive metal organic framework powder in a perfluorosulfonic acid resin solution with a mass fraction of 5%-10% to obtain a dispersion liquid with a mass fraction of 2%-5%, and immerse the shaped cross-section polyester multifilament in it (immersion temperature is 40-60°C, immersion time is 15-30 min). The linear density of the shaped cross-section polyester multifilament is 30-150 denier, the number of single filaments in the cross-section is 24-72, and the single filament cross-section is a cross shape. Take out the immersed shaped cross-section polyester multifilament, dry it, and obtain the shaped cross-section polyester multifilament coated with the conductive metal organic framework.

[0028] As described above, a tubular woven fabric sensor for sweat monitoring has a reference electrode region where the weft yarn is silver-plated nylon multifilament coated with silver and silver chloride. The silver / silver chloride system has a stable electrode potential, and its construction on a flexible yarn can better ensure the stability of the reference electrode potential. The preparation process of the silver-plated nylon multifilament coated with silver and silver chloride is as follows: a mixture of perfluorosulfonic acid resin solution, silver and silver chloride is drop-coated (drop-coating amount is 0.05-0.5 mL / m yarn) onto the silver-plated nylon multifilament. The linear density of the silver-plated nylon multifilament is 40-200 denier, and the number of single filaments in the cross section is 24-72. The nylon multifilament is dried in an environment of 50-80℃ for 4-12 hours to obtain the silver-plated nylon multifilament coated with silver and silver chloride.

[0029] As described above, a tubular woven fabric sensor for sweat monitoring has both warp and weft yarns of nylon / spandex wrapped yarns in its elastic layer. By utilizing the structural stability of nylon and the elastic recovery properties of spandex, the weft elasticity of the fabric can be better controlled. The nylon / spandex wrapped yarn consists of a core yarn and an outer yarn spirally wound around the surface of the core yarn. The core yarn is nylon with a linear density of 30-75 denier, and the outer yarn is spandex with a linear density of 50-150 denier. The winding twist is 250-450 / m.

[0030] As described above, the tubular woven fabric sensor for sweat monitoring has a hydrophobic layer in which both the warp and weft yarns are made of circular cross-section polyester multifilament or circular cross-section nylon multifilament. When woven at high density, the circular cross-section polyester multifilament or circular cross-section nylon multifilament can not only form a more stable water-blocking structure due to its inherent hydrophobicity, but also has higher abrasion resistance. The linear density of the circular cross-section polyester multifilament or circular cross-section nylon multifilament is 30-150 denier, and the number of single filaments in the cross-section is 24-72. Such linear density and number of single filaments in the cross-section can better meet the requirements of weaving structure stability and hydrophobic layer structure.

[0031] As described above, a tubular woven fabric sensor for sweat monitoring has a working layer with a warp tension of 50%-70% and a weft tension of 50%-70%; the elastic layer has a warp tension of 40%-60% and a weft tension of 40%-60%, ensuring better fabric elasticity. If the warp and weft tensions of the elastic layer are too high, the yarn's stretching space is limited, leading to decreased elasticity and wearing comfort. If the warp and weft tensions of the elastic layer are too low, the fabric structure is looser, and elastic support is reduced. The hydrophobic layer has a warp tension of 60%-80% and a weft tension of 60%-80%, further enhancing... The density and hydrophobic effect of the hydrophobic layer are ensured. When the warp and weft yarn tightness of the hydrophobic layer is too low, the fabric pores increase, which can easily form interconnected channels and reduce its hydrophobic isolation effect. When the warp and weft yarn tightness of the hydrophobic layer is too high, it is not easy to operate. The distance between the working electrode area and the reference electrode area along the weft direction is 0.5-2mm, and the distance between the counter electrode area and the working electrode area or the reference electrode area along the warp direction is 1-3mm. Such a small electrode distance is more conducive to the rapid formation of continuous electrolyte channels under the condition of a small amount of sweat, thereby better ensuring that the tubular woven fabric sensor can work normally when a small amount of sweat appears.

[0032] As described above, a tubular woven fabric sensor for sweat monitoring has a hydrophobic layer with a plain weave structure, which has many interlacing points and a tight structure, making it more conducive to forming a dense and stable hydrophobic isolation layer. The elastic layer has a tubular weave structure, which facilitates the overall looping of the fabric and makes it easier to wear. The working layer has a satin weave structure, which has fewer interlacing points and a relatively loose structure, making it more conducive to the spread and transmission of sweat on the fabric surface, thereby improving the efficiency of sweat transport to the electrode area.

[0033] This invention also provides a method for preparing a tubular woven fabric sensor for sweat monitoring as described in any of the preceding claims. The method involves cyclically performing "single-cycle weaving of the hydrophobic layer → single-cycle weaving of the elastic layer → single-cycle weaving of the working layer". During this process, the binding yarn is controlled to penetrate the areas of the working layer, the elastic layer, and the hydrophobic layer to achieve bonding between the layers. The presence of the binding yarn ensures that the layers do not come apart directly and also ensures that all warp and weft yarns in the working layer can be combined into a whole. After weaving is completed, all warp yarns are cut to obtain the tubular woven fabric sensor for sweat monitoring.

[0034] When weaving each layer in a single cycle, n weft insertions are performed, where n is the total number of weft yarns to be embedded in the weft weave cycle of the target interlacing area. When weaving the hydrophobic layer and the elastic layer in a single cycle, n=1. When weaving the working layer in a single cycle, if the target interlacing area is entirely a non-electrode area, then n=1; otherwise, n>1. The weft-weft interlacing process is used for manufacturing.

[0035] The single-cycle weaving process for each layer can refer to existing technologies. For example, the single-cycle weaving process for the hydrophobic layer is as follows: Shedding preparation (the hydrophobic layer warp yarns are divided into upper and lower layers in a 1:1 ratio through the shedding mechanism, and only half of the hydrophobic layer warp yarns in the target interlacing area are raised to form a shed) → Weft introduction (a shuttle is used to introduce a single hydrophobic layer weft yarn into the shed) → Weft insertion and warp yarn return (the reed swings forward, pushing the introduced weft yarns towards the weaving point, forming an interlacing point with the raised hydrophobic layer warp yarns. The shedding mechanism releases the lifting force, causing the interlaced hydrophobic layer warp yarns to fall back to their original positions, and together with the unraised hydrophobic layer warp yarns, fix the weft yarns, completing a single interlacing cycle).

[0036] The manufacturing method of this invention achieves the connection of each layer through integral molding, which helps to ensure the continuity and overall stability between different layers, avoids interlayer misalignment or separation, and thus improves the structural robustness of the fabric during bending, stretching, and repeated wear. At the same time, the integral molding structure can reduce the number of interlayer interfaces, which helps the continuous transmission of sweat within the fabric and ensures the stability of the sensing signal. If multi-layer bonding or other technologies are used, interface defects are easily formed between layers, which not only affect the continuity of sweat transmission, but also easily lead to delamination and debonding during repeated bending or washing, thereby reducing the stability and service life of the tubular woven fabric sensor.

[0037] Beneficial effects:

[0038] (1) The tubular woven fabric sensor for sweat monitoring of the present invention has a multi-layered fabric structure. The tubular shape is easy to wear and can be firmly fixed to different parts of the human body. It can be fixed to multiple body parts such as the forehead, fingers, wrists, and neck by a looping method, so as to achieve stable wear for a long time and not easy to fall off. The elastic layer has excellent elasticity and can be strained and stretched. The hydrophobic layer is not only breathable, but also effectively blocks the intrusion of liquid water. The bonding yarn is used to realize the bonding between the layers. The working layer is a fabric-based three-electrode system with excellent flexibility and breathability. The working electrode area of ​​the working layer is used to generate an electrical signal response to vitamin C in sweat. The weft yarn of the working electrode area has high wicking performance, so that sweat quickly wets the entire working electrode area, which is conducive to the diffusion of vitamin C in sweat to the surface of the working electrode. The multi-layered fabric structure realizes the integration of vitamin C content monitoring of sweat, breathability, flexibility and wearing firmness.

[0039] (2) The preparation method of the present invention adopts an integrated molding process, which directly integrates the sweat detection function into the fabric structure. The overall structure of the tubular woven fabric sensor is durable and strong, which not only helps to realize long-term real-time monitoring of the vitamin C content of sweat, but also has the convenience of wearing.

[0081] The method for preparing a tubular woven fabric sensor for sweat monitoring according to Example 1A is as follows: according to the yarn requirements of each layer and the connecting yarn in Example 1A, the process of "single-cycle weaving of the hydrophobic layer → single-cycle weaving of the elastic layer → single-cycle weaving of the working layer" is carried out in a cyclical manner. During this process, the connecting yarn is controlled to penetrate the areas of the working layer, the elastic layer and the hydrophobic layer to achieve the connection of each layer. After weaving is completed, all the warp yarns are cut to obtain the tubular woven fabric sensor for sweat monitoring.

[0082] When weaving each layer in a single cycle, n weft insertions are performed, where n is the total number of weft yarns to be embedded in the weft weave cycle of the target interlacing area. When weaving the hydrophobic layer and the elastic layer in a single cycle, n=1. When weaving the working layer in a single cycle, if the target interlacing area is entirely a non-electrode area, then n=1; otherwise, n>1. The weft-weft interlacing process is used for manufacturing.

[0083] The single-cycle weaving process for each layer can refer to existing technologies. For example, the single-cycle weaving process for the hydrophobic layer is as follows: Shedding preparation (the hydrophobic layer warp yarns are divided into upper and lower layers in a 1:1 ratio through the shedding mechanism, and only half of the hydrophobic layer warp yarns in the target interlacing area are raised to form a shed) → Weft introduction (a shuttle is used to introduce a single hydrophobic layer weft yarn into the shed) → Weft insertion and warp yarn return (the reed swings forward, pushing the introduced weft yarns towards the weaving point, forming an interlacing point with the raised hydrophobic layer warp yarns. The shedding mechanism releases the lifting force, causing the interlaced hydrophobic layer warp yarns to fall back to their original positions, and together with the unraised hydrophobic layer warp yarns, fix the weft yarns, completing a single interlacing cycle).

[0084] Monitoring Experiment 1

[0085] The tubular woven fabric sensor provided in Example 1A was used to monitor the vitamin C content of sweat produced by healthy adults after exercise. The operation method involved wearing the tubular woven fabric sensor on the skin surface of the forehead and running on a treadmill at 75% of maximum heart rate. Sweat naturally seeped into the fabric of the tubular woven fabric sensor. The current value between the working electrode area and the reference electrode area was collected. The vitamin C content of the sweat was quantitatively analyzed using this current value and a standard curve of vitamin C content, achieving real-time monitoring of the vitamin C content in sweat. After 30 minutes of exercise, the vitamin C content of the sweat was 2.58 mg / L.

[0086] The standard curve was established as follows: standard solutions with vitamin C contents of 0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.5, 0.8, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 mg / L were prepared using artificial sweat as a matrix; the standard solutions with different vitamin C contents were infiltrated into the working electrode area of ​​the tubular woven fabric sensor provided in Example 1A, and the current value between the working electrode area and the reference electrode area was recorded for each vitamin C content; a scatter plot was plotted with vitamin C content as the abscissa and current value as the ordinate, and the response relationship was analyzed by regression fitting using the Langmuir model, and a standard curve was established accordingly.

[0087] Meanwhile, in order to verify the accuracy of the monitoring results of the tubular woven fabric sensor provided in Example 1A, the sweat of individuals exercising in the same way and for the same duration was monitored using existing monitoring methods. The vitamin C content of the sweat was 2.63 mg / L.

[0088] The existing monitoring method is as follows: Referring to the national standard GB 5009.86-2016 "Determination of Ascorbic Acid in Food", high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is used to detect vitamin C. During the detection process, phosphoric acid solution is used as the extraction solvent. After sample pretreatment, the sample is centrifuged and filtered, separated using a reversed-phase chromatographic column, and detected at a wavelength of 245 nm under ultraviolet detection conditions. The vitamin C content is quantitatively analyzed using the external standard method.

[0188] In Example 1A, the irregularly shaped polyester multifilament coated with a conductive metal-organic framework and the silver-plated nylon multifilament coated with silver and silver chloride need to be prepared in-house. The preparation steps are as follows:

[0189] (1) Prepare raw materials;

[0190] 2,3,6,7,10,11-Hexahydroxytriphenyl;

[0191] Ni(OAc)2·4H2O;

[0192] Deionized water;

[0193] Ethanol;

[0199] Circular cross-section silver-plated nylon multifilament: linear density of 40 denier, number of single filaments in cross-section of 24;

[0200] (2) Preparation of polyester multifilaments with irregular cross sections coated with conductive metal-organic framework;

[0201] (2.1) 2,3,6,7,10,11-hexahydroxytriphenyl and Ni(OAc)2·4H2O were dispersed in deionized water at a molar ratio of 1:20. After ultrasonic treatment, the mixture was reacted under heating conditions at a reaction temperature of 100℃ and a reaction time of 60 min to obtain conductive metal-organic framework powder.

[0202] (2.2) The conductive metal-organic framework powder was sequentially washed, solvent exchanged, and activated;

[0203] The specific washing process is as follows: wash five times with deionized water and ethanol alternately to remove unreacted ligands and metal salts;

[0204] The specific process of solvent exchange is as follows: the solvent is exchanged by immersion in ethanol for 48 hours, during which the ethanol is replaced twice.

[0205] The specific activation process is as follows: heating at 150℃ under inert gas for 12 hours;

[0206] (2.3) Disperse the conductive metal-organic framework powder in a perfluorosulfonic acid resin solution to obtain a dispersion with a mass fraction of 4% conductive metal-organic framework, and impregnate the irregular cross-section polyester multifilament in it at a temperature of 60°C for 30 min. Take out the impregnated irregular cross-section polyester multifilament and dry it to obtain the irregular cross-section polyester multifilament coated with conductive metal-organic framework.

[0207] (3) Preparation of silver-plated nylon multifilament coated with silver and silver chloride;

[0208] A mixed slurry is formed by perfluorosulfonic acid resin solution, silver, and silver chloride. The total weight of the three components accounts for 30% of the weight of the mixed slurry, and the weight ratio of silver to silver chloride is 60:40. The mixed slurry is then drip-coated onto a circular cross-section silver-plated nylon multifilament at a rate of 0.5 mL / m of yarn. The yarn is then dried at 80°C for 12 hours to obtain silver-plated nylon multifilament coated with silver and silver chloride.

[0209] Example 4B

[0210] The method for preparing a tubular woven fabric sensor for sweat monitoring according to Example 4A is as follows: according to the yarn requirements of each layer and the bonding yarn in Example 4A, the process of "single-cycle weaving of the hydrophobic layer → single-cycle weaving of the elastic layer → single-cycle weaving of the working layer" is carried out in a cyclical manner. During this process, the bonding yarn is controlled to penetrate the areas of the working layer, the elastic layer and the hydrophobic layer to achieve bonding of each layer. After weaving is completed, all warp yarns are cut to obtain the tubular woven fabric sensor for sweat monitoring.

[0211] When weaving each layer in a single cycle, n weft insertions are performed, where n is the total number of weft yarns to be embedded in the weft weave cycle of the target interlacing area. When weaving the hydrophobic layer and the elastic layer in a single cycle, n=1. When weaving the working layer in a single cycle, if the target interlacing area is entirely a non-electrode area, then n=1; otherwise, n>1. The weft-weft interlacing process is used for manufacturing.

[0212] The single-cycle weaving process for each layer can refer to existing technologies. For example, the single-cycle weaving process for the hydrophobic layer is as follows: Shedding preparation (the hydrophobic layer warp yarns are divided into upper and lower layers in a 1:1 ratio through the shedding mechanism, and only half of the hydrophobic layer warp yarns in the target interlacing area are raised to form a shed) → Weft introduction (a shuttle is used to introduce a single hydrophobic layer weft yarn into the shed) → Weft insertion and warp yarn return (the reed swings forward, pushing the introduced weft yarns towards the weaving point, forming an interlacing point with the raised hydrophobic layer warp yarns. The shedding mechanism releases the lifting force, causing the interlaced hydrophobic layer warp yarns to fall back to their original positions, and together with the unraised hydrophobic layer warp yarns, fix the weft yarns, completing a single interlacing cycle).

[0213] Monitoring Experiment 4

[0214] The tubular woven fabric sensor provided in Example 4A was used to monitor the vitamin C content in sweat produced by healthy adults after exercise. The procedure involved wearing the sensor on the skin of the forehead and running on a treadmill at 75% of maximum heart rate. Sweat naturally seeped into the fabric of the sensor. The current value between the working electrode area and the reference electrode area was collected. The vitamin C content in the sweat was quantitatively analyzed using a standard curve based on this current value and the vitamin C content. The standard curve was established in the same manner as in monitoring experiment 1, enabling real-time monitoring of the vitamin C content in sweat. After 30 minutes of exercise, the vitamin C content in the sweat was 1.18 mg / L.

[0215] Meanwhile, in order to verify the accuracy of the monitoring results of the tubular woven fabric sensor provided in Example 4A, the sweat of the same individuals, with the same exercise mode and the same exercise time was monitored using the existing monitoring method (the existing monitoring method is the same as that in monitoring experiment 1). The vitamin C content of the sweat was 1.21 mg / L.

[0216] Comparing the two monitoring results, the data are basically consistent, indicating that the monitoring results of the tubular woven fabric sensor for sweat monitoring provided in Example 4A have high accuracy.
