The CNT-coated thread is cotton thread that has been coated with carbon nanotube dispersion. The CNT coating changes the thread’s electronic conductivity and mechanical properties. By adjusting coating parameters, the thread can be altered to have electromechanical transduction property and be used as a strain sensor. The resistance of the CNT-Coated threads will change upon application of in-plane strain. The CNT-coated thread was calibrated with applied increasing strain to investigate its gage factor (GF) value. The result shows that CNT-coated thread has a negative gage factor. The CNT-coated thread was then arranged in meander construction and was integrated into tight-fabrics by sewing. This sensor was used as the transducer for mechanomyography of muscles on leg. MMG shows promising results that the thread sensor can be used for assessing body’s muscular activity.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Coating parameters,Cotton threads,Electro-mechanical transducers,Electromechanical transduction,Electronic conductivity,Mechanomyography,Muscular activities,Nanotube dispersions[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Carbon Nanotube,Cotton Thread,electromechanical transducer,Mechanomyography,Wearable Sensor[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][{‘$’: ‘ACKNOWLEDGMENT This research was supported by the research grant from: Ministry of Research, Technology, and Higher Educations; World Class Professor research grant, and also ITB research grant program.
