01 / CHALLENGE
Why this work matters.
Wearable chemical sensors must retain reproducible electrochemical performance despite liquid wicking and fabric deformation.
02 / APPROACH
How it works.
Silver-coated textile electrodes are machine-embroidered in a three-electrode geometry, protected with a hydrophobic coating and functionalized for enzyme inhibition sensing.
