Cover Story: A piezoelectric sensor curled on a thread core in a helical structure is proposed. In particular, a PVDF film was curled and fixed on a thread core. We find that the sensing output of the sensor is in phase with the applied flexural loading. Also, the flexural bending angle applied to the piezoelectric sensor is expected to be a power function of the voltage output. In addition, we demonstrate a smart textile by weaving the piezoelectric sensor. View this paper
