Fibre electronics: towards scaled-up manufacturing of integrated e-textile systems

Abstract

The quest for a close human interaction with electronic devices for healthcare, safety, energy and security has driven giant leaps in portable and wearable technologies in recent years. Electronic textiles...

Stretchable Conductive Fabric Enabled By Surface Functionalization of Commercial Knitted Cloth

“…BMSCs were inoculated in 24-well plates at a density of 1×10 4 /cm. 2 It was placed in a 5% CO 2 , 37 °C incubator and incubated for 6 h, and then, the ASC fabric co-culture treatment was performed. The incubation was performed for 24, 48, 72, and 96 h. MTT solution (100 μL/mL medium) was added to each well to continue incubation.…”

“…Wearable electronics have been tremendously changing the way people live. One of the biggest trends in the future development of wearable electronics is to integrate electronic devices into garments to fully exert the advantages of textiles, including lightweight, high breathability, excellent flexibility, and high compliance to the human body. − The ultimate goal of textile-based electronics (e-textile) is to impart textiles with electronic functions, including health and sports monitoring, physiological sensing, motion assistance, human–machine interaction, and so forth without sacrificing the wearing comfort and fashion of garments. To build high-performance integrated electronic devices or systems on textiles, fabrication of conductive textiles or constructing electrical circuits on textiles with reliable long-term usability and washing endurance that can maximally retain the mechanical property and wearing comfort of textiles is highly desirable.…”

Advances in Organic and Perovskite Photovoltaics Enabling a Greener Internet of Things

“…[173][174][175] To this end, innovative ways of depositing a high-quality perovskite film on fibrous high-curvature surfaces are needed. [176] Indeed, as an example, Dong et al [177] introduced a vapor-assisted deposition of MAPbI 3 − x Cl x perovskite on a Ti/ TiO 2 wire having a total diameter of 250 µm, achieving a record PCE of 10.79% and good bending stability (500 bending cycles at R = 8 cm). The seamless integration of e-textiles bearing energy harvesting capabilities will pave the way to the wearable electronic devices of the future.…”

Woven eTextiles in HCI — a Literature Review

“…Alongside reports on individual projects and pieces discussing the same project from alternative angles, our survey identifed nine literature reviews focusing on topics adjacent to woven eTextiles. While none of the reviews provide the depth of detail on the textile structures that some other sources do, each of these articles features some examples of woven eTextiles [1,17,29,35,58,101,102,112,126]. We include them here because they go into the links to woven-eTextile-related topics and present overviews of these, but they are excluded from our detail-level analysis since they lack the required depth.…”

“…In a somewhat similar vein, opticalfbre technologies [35] are examined from several perspectives, such as that of serving both for input and for output. The review of fbre-based devices [101] focuses on materials, fbres' processing, textile integration, and related topics, while also drawing a roadmap of future applications. To a similar extent, two articles found [102,126] examine nanomaterials and nanotechnology, along with surrounding eforts, such as textile-integration work.…”
