Abstract
In recent years, fi brillar string-based wearable sensors have gained signifi cant attention for their ability to detect mechanical
and physiological stimuli, including tactility, temperature, humidity, and glucose levels. Stretchability, fl exibility, and
lightweight nature of the fi brillar strings make them ideal for integration into textiles and wearable devices. This review
highlights recent advancements in the fabrication of fi brillar string sensors by using various spinning techniques, including
dry spinning, wet spinning, melt spinning, and light polymerization spinning. The examination of conductive material integration
into fi brillar strings highlights progress in this fi eld, including advancements in composite fabrication and structural
engineering. Furthermore, the review discusses the potential applications of these sensors in health monitoring, including
mechanical stimuli, temperature, humidity, glucose levels. The article highlights ongoing challenges in fi brillar string sensors
such as enhancing durability and sensitivity under mechanical strain, and suggests future research directions to improve the
performance and functionality in wearable sensors.
