Car interiors are envisioned to be living spaces that support a variety of non-driving-related activities. Previous work focuses on enhancing driving-related functions, performance and safety. By developing textile-based sensors, we focus on enabling...

Organic light-emitting polymers can be formulated into solutions that can be printed in ambient atmospheres and cured at low temperatures of <120 °C. The deposition techniques that can be employed include spin coating, spray coating and ink-je...

This work presents a simple, scalable and flexible water activated primary battery, fabricated on top of a textile substrate. The textile-based battery was fabricated with inexpensive screen-printed materials to form the functional battery electrodes...

This paper reports the novel design of a textile-based triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) with alternate woven strips of positive and negative triboelectric material operating in freestanding triboelectric-layer mode (woven TENG). It was fabricated u...

The findings of this research attempt to evaluate the electrical and compression features of electrically conductive yarns (ECY) as well as the structure of sensor systems, such as single jersey and double jersey knit designs, for healthcare applicat...

It is often necessary to connect e-textile devices with power supplies and other peripherals using electrical wires. This connection is usually achieved with the use of wires that are consequently bonded to the e-textile circuit using conductive epox...

This paper presents a dispenser printed electrode array on polyester/cotton fabric. The fabrication details needed to achieve the array, including the materials and printer set-up, are reported. The array consists of ten electrode elements for functi...

Personal thermal management devices provide a behaviourally aligned route to address dependence on energy-intensive heating and cooling systems. E-textiles form an ideal foundation for these devices. In this study, a Joule heating e-textile has been...

The adoption of circular principles by the EU and UK have led to greater focus on waste streams and the recoverability of materials and components. This has translated into regulations such as WEEE for electronic waste. Textiles and nanomaterials lag...
