The development of a conductive fiber produced from an inherently conductive polymer (ICP) polyaniline (PANI) was accomplished during this the third year of our National Textile Center funding. This goal accomplished the stated mission of the research effort. The fiber produced has tensile properties approaching that of nylon 6 and a conductivity of around 350 S/cm. This achievement has led to ...

This article presents a novel educational software package which develops an Interactive Didactic Application (IDA) created by the Polytechnic University of Catalonia (UPC), and which contains the essentials of textile design. It is an open application which uses a database in ASCII format. The principal elements of this database are lists of whole numbers structured according to indexed colors...

The low interest in pursuing engineering among students in the US, particularly among girls and women, endangers the sustainability of this technology-based society. Although large-scale interventions are important, there is still a need for low-cost, short-term interventions that can be implemented easily and efficiently. The authors developed two brief engineering-related brochures, one for m...

In this article, the benefits offered by micro-fibrous scaffold architectures fabricated by textile manufacturing techniques are discussed: How can established and novel fiber-processing techniques be exploited in order to generate templates matching the demands of the target cell niche? The problems related to the development of biomaterial fibers (especially from nature-derived materials) rea...

In this paper we propose a criterion for uncertainty evaluation in a color quality control. In a joint project between two laboratories of the Faculty of Engineering in Florence we study a PC-CCD system, called Textile Color Match (TCM) for the digital acquisition of the colorimetric coordinates of a wool sample. One of the main result is the achievement of a threshold of tolerance for the repr...

Adv Physiol Educ 37: 176–183, 2013; doi:10.1152/advan.00038.2012.— Physiology is a core requirement in the undergraduate biomedical engineering curriculum. In one or two introductory physiology courses, engineering students must learn physiology sufficiently to su...
