Engineering Proceedings, Volume 30, Issue 1

The 4th International Conference on the Challenges, Opportunities, Innovations and Applications in Electronic Textiles (E-Textiles 2022) was held in Nottingham (United Kingdom) on 8–10 November 2022.

In submitting conference proceedings to Engineering Proceedings, the volume editors of the proceedings certify to the publisher that all papers published in this volume have been subjected to peer review administered by the volume editors [...]

This work presents a simple, scalable and flexible zinc-ion secondary battery, fabricated on top of a textile substrate via standard fabrication processes. The proposed zinc-ion battery was fabricated on top of a polyester-cotton textile using soluti...

Recently, gesture recognition technology has attracted increasing attention because it provides another means of information exchange in some special occasions, especially for auditory impaired individuals. At present, the fusion of sensor signals an...

The exigency of humans is boosting the necessity of Smart Textiles in this modern era. A decade ago, envisioning sophisticated outerwear with several uses were considered a challenge. This study aims to a jacket with 15 features; divided into 7 group...

This work presents the design and test of an e-textile based functional electrical stimulation system for post-stroke upper limb rehabilitation. The prototype was tested on five stroke survivors to assess stimulation comfort, the stimulation intensit...

Approximately 80 percent of patients with limited mobility experience pressure ulcers (PU). Electrical stimulation (ES) is an effective therapeutic approach for PU prevention and treatment. This study reports the design of a custom-made adaptive garm...

An e-textile system was developed, allowing USB reprogramming of miniature, flexible, integrated microcontroller circuits which allows for easier development of complex and configurable e-textile circuits. This prototype consisted of a series of five...

Scaling down the form-factor of printed electronics is one of the methods for improving the reliability of printed e-textiles. This also enhances the wearability of the printed e-textile. However, the surface roughness of textiles and the low resolut...

Functional electrical stimulation (FES) aims to improve the gait pattern in case of foot drop of people suffering chronic diseases, e.g., multiple sclerosis. The fibular nerve can be stimulated by electrical impulses sent through electrodes on the sk...
