Abstract
The poled PVDF film sensor with thin silver electrode on both surfaces was coated with conductive carbon paste followed by silicon elastomer/carbon black mixture coating. This process gave it EMI shielding as well as enhanced toughness. The physiological sensing belt(PSB) for respiration monitoring was made by embedding the silicone rubber/carbon black/conductive carbon layer coated PVDF film between elastic textile bands. The sport bra having PSB could be well applied to respiration monitoring for the woman wearing it with very low motion artifact even during walking and running.
