Wearable electronics offer the combined advantages of both electronics and fabrics. Being an indispensable part of these electronics, lightweight, stretchable and wearable power sources are strongly demanded. Here we describe a daily-used cotton fabric coated with polypyrrole as electrode for stretchable supercapacitors. Polypyrrole was synthesized on the Au coated fabric via an electrochemical...

Questions about how to regulate nanoenhanced products regularly arise as researchers determine possible nanoparticle transformation(s). Focusing concern on the incorporation and subsequent release of nano-Ag in fabrics often overshadows the fact that many "conventional silver" antimicrobials such as ionic silver, AgCl, metallic Ag, and other forms will also form different species of silver. In ...

The purpose of this project is to investigate on mechanical properties fibre coated reinforced composites. Tensile the flax fabrics tested at different resin treatment. tensile test evaluate effect epoxy coating strength fiber and predict behavior how influence results show that epoxy-coated considerably higher compared with non-coated composite materials. reference sample, i.e., without 18.7 M...

The sensitivity of chitosan to environmental conditions and processing can stress its structure cause degradation this polymer on various application carriers. stability in a designed textile standard polyester fabric with was analysed multiple washing process detergent by studying the properties before after 10 cycles. coated alkali treated fabrics. Washing performed an ECE A reference at 60 °...

Plasmonic optical tweezers are a ubiquitous tool for the precise manipulation of nanoparticles and biomolecules at low photon flux, while femtosecond-laser optical tweezers can probe the nonlinear optical properties of the trapped species with applications in biological diagnostics. In order to adopt plasmonic optical tweezers in real-world applications, it is essential to develop large-scale f...

The objectives of the present study were to develop an environmentally friendly, low-price, easy, and fast method for developing antipathogenic (antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral) cuprous-oxide-coated multifunctional fabrics. fabrics first sensitized with citric acid, then Cu2O particles formed using Fehling solution method. cuprous oxide applied cotton To create particles, three different k...

BACKGROUND The consumer demands for better quality and safety of food products have given rise to the development and implementation of edible films. The use of antimicrobial films can be a promising tool for controlling L. monocytogenes on ready to eat products. The aim of this study was to develop effective antimicrobial films incorporating bioactive compounds from green and black teas into c...
