In recent times there has been an increase interest in wearable fabric sensors and functional fabrics. This fabrics can have multiple or single functions, with potential applications across several disciplines such biomedical, materials, chemical Fields just to mention a few. Our group has been working on fabric sensors utilizing a simple process of entrapping dyes in layered materials through intercalation and immobilization of the dyes on cotton fabrics. we have successfully immobilized dyes such as crystal violet (C25H30N3Cl) on cotton fabrics using layered alpha-zirconium phosphate and testing the acid recognition properties, we have also utilized the redox properties of methylene blue (C16H18ClN3S) entrapped in layered Sodium titanate (Na2Ti3O7) for oxygen detection. Our talk will focus on the intercalation of methyl blue on layered alpha-zirconium phosphate and the immobilize on cotton fabrics for pH-sensor applications and our sensor test results.
