The fabrication process integrated conjugate electrospinning of PVDF\/PAN, selective dissolution of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) to create porous networks, and uniform AgNP incorporation via adsorption-reduction. Systematic optimization revealed that 10 wt.% PVP content and 1.2 mol\/L AgNO3 concentration yielded membranes with superior electrical conductivity (874.93 S\/m) and mechanical strength (2.34 MPa). The membranes demonstrated excellent strain sensing performance with a gauge factor of 12.64 within 0\u201330% strain and location-specific sensing capabilities: moderate movements at wrist (\u0394R\/R0: 98.90\u2013287.25%), elbow (124.65\u2013300.24%), and fingers (177.01\u2013483.20%) generated stable signals, while knee articulation exhibited higher sensitivity (459.60\u20131316.48%) but significant signal fluctuations. These results demonstrate the potential of the developed conductive porous PVDF\/PAN composite fibrous membranes for applications in wearable sensors, flexible electronics, and human-machine interfaces, particularly in scenarios requiring moderate-range motion detection with high reliability and stability. The findings suggest promising opportunities for developing next-generation wearable sensing devices through the optimization of conjugate electrospun fibrous membranes.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/polym16243540","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,19]],"date-time":"2024-12-19T08:04:14Z","timestamp":1734595454000},"page":"3540","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Preparation and Characterization of Highly Conductive PVDF\/PAN Conjugate Electrospun Fibrous Membranes with Embedded Silver Nanoparticles"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Siyang","family":"Wu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Engineering and Technology, Jilin Agricultural University, Changchun 130118, China"},{"name":"College of Biological and Agricultural Engineering, Jilin University, Changchun 130022, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Luyu","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Biological and Agricultural Engineering, Jilin University, Changchun 130022, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiaochun","family":"Qiu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Engineering and Technology, Jilin Agricultural University, Changchun 130118, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yuntai","family":"Guo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Engineering and Technology, Jilin Agricultural University, Changchun 130118, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Liangliang","family":"Dong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Engineering and Technology, Jilin Agricultural University, Changchun 130118, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0569-9864","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mingzhuo","family":"Guo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Biological and Agricultural Engineering, Jilin University, Changchun 130022, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jiale","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Biological and Agricultural Engineering, Jilin University, Changchun 130022, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Chatzichristos, C., Swinnen, L., Macea, J., Bhagubai, M., Van Paesschen, W., and De Vos, M.
