E-textiles embedded with energy storage devices

Posted on by Haptic

The next generation of waterproof smart fabrics will be laser printed and made in minutes. That’s the future imagined by the researchers behind new e-textile technology. Scientists from RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia, have developed a cost-efficient and scaleable method for rapidly fabricating textiles that are embedded with energy storage devices. In just three minutes, Read more about E-textiles embedded with energy storage devices[…]

No more washing: nano-enhanced textiles clean themselves with light

Posted on by Haptic

Researchers have developed a cheap and efficient new way to grow special nanostructures – which can degrade organic matter when exposed to light – directly onto textiles. The work paves the way towards nano-enhanced textiles that can spontaneously clean themselves of stains and grime simply by being put under a light bulb or worn out Read more about No more washing: nano-enhanced textiles clean themselves with light[…]
