The design of flexible sensors which can be incorporated in textile structures is of decisive importance for the future development of wearables. In addition to their technical functionality, the materials chosen to construct the sensor should be nontoxic, affordable, and compatible with future recycling. Conductive fibres were produced by incorporation of carbon black into regenerated cellulose fibres. By incorporation of 23 wt.% and 27 wt.% carbon black, the surface resistance of the fibres reduced from 1.3 × 1010 Ω·cm for standard viscose fibres to 2.7 × 103 and 475 Ω·cm, respectively. Fibre tenacity reduced to 30–50% of a standard viscose; however, it was sufficient to allow processing of the material in standard textile operations. A fibre blend of the conductive viscose fibres with polyester fibres was used to produce a needle-punched nonwoven material with piezo-electric properties, which was used as a pressure sensor in the very low pressure range of 400–1000 Pa. The durability of the sensor was demonstrated in repetitive load/relaxation cycles. As a regenerated cellulose fibre, the carbon-black-incorporated cellulose fibre is compatible with standard textile processing operations and, thus, will be of high interest as a functional element in future wearables.

The surface morphology, thermal behaviour and tensile mechanical properties of raw caroa (Neoglaziovia variegata) fibres have been characterised. The influence of fibre washing with flowing tap water on the surface morphology and thermal properties of these fibres has also been investigated. The results show that gummy tissues are attached to the surface of the raw fibres and that washing leads to the partial removal of these tissues and to the exposure of the inner fibrillar structure of the fibres. Thermogravimetric analysis indicates that fibre thermal degradation is characterised by three main degradation stages corresponding, respectively, to water release at low temperatures, followed by decomposition of hemicellulose and of α-cellulose. Fibre washing produces an increase in the fibre thermal degradation temperature, Tonset, and in the thermal decomposition rate. These characteristics are associated with the removal of gummy tissues and with a decrease in the compactness of the fibres respectively. The tensile properties obtained place caroa as a low-to-medium-strength fibre when compared with other lignocellulosic fibres, but with a strength level similar to that of coir fibres, which, nowadays, are used commercially on a fairly large scale.
