Figure 1

A cross-sectional schematic of the proposed encapsulation for a thermistor within a yarn. There are three layers—the polymer resin, packing fibres, and a knitted sheath. Each will retard the flow of heat to the thermistor, affecting the sensor’s response. The yarn would also include a carrier yarn within the resin encapsulation to improve the tensile strength of the final yarn.
