In this study, a garment for monitoring human body temperature based on fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors is reported. The FBG sensor was encapsulated with a PMMA tube and calibrated in the thermostatic water bath. The results showed that FBG sensors had good vibration resistance, and the wavelength changed about 0\u20131 pm at a 0.5\u201380 Hz vibration frequency. The bending path of the optical fiber after integration with clothing is discussed. When the bending radius is equal to or greater than 20 mm, a lower bending loss can be achieved even under the bending and stretching of the human body. The FBG sensor, the optical fiber, and the garment were integrated together using hot melt glue by the electric iron and the hot press machine. Through experiments of monitoring human body temperature, the sensor can reach the human armpit temperature in about 10\u201315 min with the upper arm close to the torso. Because it is immune to electromagnetic interferences, the smart garment can be used in some special environments such as ultrasonography, magnetic resonance (MR), and aerospace.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s22114252","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,3]],"date-time":"2022-06-03T08:01:18Z","timestamp":1654243278000},"page":"4252","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":21,"title":["Fiber Bragg Grating-Based Smart Garment for Monitoring Human Body Temperature"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"Xiujuan","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Textile Science and Engineering, Tiangong University, Tianjin 300387, China"},{"name":"R&D Department of Personal Protective Lifesaving Equipment, Aerospace Life-Supports Industries Ltd., Xiangyang 441003, China"},{"name":"Aviation Key Laboratory of Science and Technology on Life-Support Technology, Xiangyang 441003, China"}]},{"given":"Yaming","family":"Jiang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Textile Science and Engineering, Tiangong University, Tianjin 300387, China"}]},{"given":"Siyi","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Textile Science and Engineering, Tiangong University, Tianjin 300387, China"}]},{"given":"Hao","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Textile Science and Engineering, Tiangong University, Tianjin 300387, China"}]},{"given":"Xiaozhi","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Textile Science and Engineering, Tiangong University, Tianjin 300387, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"4373","DOI":"10.1002\/adma.201504366","article-title":"Monitoring of vital signs with flexible and wearable medical devices","volume":"28","author":"Khan","year":"2016","journal-title":"Adv.
