Jinwook Baek, a postdoctoral research assistant, and Sunghwan Lee, assistant professor of engineering technology at Purdue, fabricate sensors with potential health-monitoring applications onto ready-made wearables.
A breathability test determined that the fabric’s air permeability was not compromised by the coated PEDOT film. There was a negligible difference in breathability between bare fabric and an oCVD PEDOT-coated fabric; there also was no clear difference between oCVD PEDOT-coated fabrics of varying thicknesses.
