Abstract

Abstract : Inside Cover : Fiber‐based sensors are critical to the development of electronic textiles. In article number 2100737, Tushar K. Ghosh and co‐workers present a practical and scalable method of producing textile‐based sensory fibers using the commonly used commercial melt extrusion method. Once assembled into the fabric, the fibers can act as a multimodal sensory array. The woven substrate can detect the location and level of applied pressure, thereby illustrating its potential use as a sensor in textile structures.
