Piezo-Resistive Properties of Bio-Based Sensor Yarn Made with Sisal Fibre

Nanomechanical Sensor Platform Based On Piezo-Resistive Cantilevers

This paper presents Cantion’s cantilever-based bio/chemical sensor. The cantilevers have integrated readout and can be used both in liquids and gases. The sensing principle is based on a cantilever bending due to a change in surface stress. Such surface-stress change is obtained during molecular interaction which has made it possible to measure DNA hybridization, antigen-antibody interactions e...

Effect of Fibre Blend Ratios on Yarn Properties

Yarn properties can be altered through blending fibres. According to the requirement different properties can be achieved by different blending ratios. Among the different blends cotton and polyester, cotton and wool, wool and acrylic, cotton and nylon, jute and acrylic, cotton and rayon etc are common. Flax and polyester has been a popular blend now-adays and depicts excellent properties than ...

Effect of inter-laminar fibre orientation on the tensile properties of sisal fibre reinforced polyester composites

In this present work, effects of interlamina fibre orientation on the tensile properties of composites were studied and the results were discussed. The varying types of fibre oriented composites were prepared using the compression moulding technique at a pressure of 17 MPa. The different types of oriented composites investigated were 90o/0 o /90 o, 0 o /90 o /0 o, 90 o /0 o /0 o /90 o, 0 o /45 ...

Measuring Bite Force in Small Mammals with a Piezo-resistive Sensor

Resistive Fibre-Meshed Transducers

The paper demonstrates the preliminary research carried out on fibre meshed transducers for wearable computing applications, their constructions using electroconductive fibres via the route of modern electronic flatbed knitting technology. The paper reports the construction of resistive strain and displacement transducers using electroconductive polymeric fibres (resistivity of 10 cm) and metal...
