Abstract
The fibrous temperature sensor with excellent flexibility, comfort, and ease of integration into fabrics is particularly
suitable for body temperature monitoring. However, the detection stability of existing fibrous temperature sensors
is greatly affected by external factors such as pressing, bending, twisting, pH, humidity, and human movement.
