A new approach to strengthen polymer gels has been developed by changing the length of polymer “thread” per molecular “bead”. Research team develops new approach to strengthen polymer gels by changing ...

A research group, led by Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden, presents an ordinary silk thread, coated with a conductive plastic material, that shows promising properties for turning textiles ...

Using textiles and fabrics for harvesting power, storing energy, and bio-sensing makes sense—after all, everyone wears a shirt. A team at the University of Massachusetts has developed a way to combine ...

A research team has developed new approach to strengthen polymer gels by changing the length of polymer “thread” per molecular “bead”. A polymer gel consists of a three-dimensional cross-linked ...

Researchers combined conductive threads with a polymer film to create a flexible mesh of electrodes on a textile backing that functions as a supercapacitor. Using textiles and fabrics for harvesting ...
