Pressure sensing intelligent martial arts short soldier combat protection system based on conjugated polymer nanocomposite materials

Abstract Martial arts have several advantages in self-defence and enhancing mental well-being and physical fitness. Due to the high rate of collisions and resulting injuries in traditional martial arts training, it is important to develop effective buffer protectors to guarantee the well-being of martial arts trainers and minimize the likelihood of or severity of injury to their trainees. Hence, this article suggests the conjugated polymer nanocomposite material-assisted smart combat protection clothing for improving the physical fitness of soldiers using pressure sensors for injury-free combat sports. The data are taken from the biosensor Kaggle dataset using smartphone data. Wearable pressure sensors have a high potential for applications in soldiers’ rehabilitation, touch interfaces, and electronic skin. Research techniques for assessing the durability of textiles and composites for protection in smart clothing are discussed in the context of illustrative cases. Carbon nanotubes, graphene-based composite nanomaterials, and other fibres are potential options for constructing externally protective layers of interactive clothing. It is suggested to embed intelligent sensors inside the clothing’s inner to assess impact forces and types on the fabric at different spots in the structure and to report the influence force near breaking forces with a colour or sound indication.
