Abstract
Modern competitive sports demand advanced athlete motion monitoring, yet current wearables face sensitivity and material limitations. This study proposes a novel highly sensitive triboelectric nanogenerator sensor (PN-Sensor) based on recycled nylon 66. This multilayer flexible structure demonstrates the following characteristics: gradient sensitivity within a 0–20 N loading range, achieving 7.4837 V/N sensitivity in the low-load regime (0–10 N) with further enhancement to 32.3558 V/N in the medium-high load range (10–20 N). It exhibits a rapid 91 ms response time and maintains minimal signal deviation after 10,000 cyclic durability tests. Integrated at lower-limb biomechanical nodes with Bluetooth transmission and multimodal analysis, the system enables real-time monitoring of four football-specific movements. The posture recognition system based on a Convolutional Neural Network achieves 97.5 % accuracy in movement classification, significantly enhancing training analytical efficacy. This eco-friendly sensor provides innovative industrial waste upcycling while demonstrating significant potential for intelligent sports applications.
期刊介绍:
Materials Research Bulletin is an international journal reporting high-impact research on processing-structure-property relationships in functional materials and nanomaterials with interesting electronic, magnetic, optical, thermal, mechanical or catalytic properties. Papers purely on thermodynamics or theoretical calculations (e.g., density functional theory) do not fall within the scope of the journal unless they also demonstrate a clear link to physical properties. Topics covered include functional materials (e.g., dielectrics, pyroelectrics, piezoelectrics, ferroelectrics, relaxors, thermoelectrics, etc.); electrochemistry and solid-state ionics (e.g., photovoltaics, batteries, sensors, and fuel cells); nanomaterials, graphene, and nanocomposites; luminescence and photocatalysis; crystal-structure and defect-structure analysis; novel electronics; non-crystalline solids; flexible electronics; protein-material interactions; and polymeric ion-exchange membranes.
