in this paper a new uwb textile slot antenna has been designed with high precision. this work aimed to makecloser steps towards real wearability by investigating the possibilities of designing wearable uwb antenna wheretextile materials are used for the substrate as well as the conducting parts of the designed antenna. the antenna iscomposed of three textile layers: the top and bottom are condu...

To maintain typical textile properties, smart designs of light emitting devices are printed directly onto textile substrates. A first approach shows improved designs for alternating current powder electroluminescence (ACPEL) devices. A configuration with the following build-up, starting from the textile substrate, was applied using the screen printing technique: silver (10 µm)/barium titanate (...

Luthy, Kyle Anthony. The Development of Textile Based Acoustic Sensing Arrays for Sound Source Acquisition. (Under the direction of Dr. Edward Grant.) This research project dealt primarily with the production of an electronic textiles (etextiles) demonstrator. The goal of electronic textiles is to integrate textiles technology and electronics to create large area conformal surfaces with embedde...

textile effluents contain different kinds of chemical dyes and many mutagenic and carcinogenic substances. discharge of these effluents into terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems causes harmful effects. in this research, decolorization of a textile effluent by nineteen different strains of fungi was investigated. removal activity of dyes was in order of   aspergillus > rhizopus > fuzarium > penici...

This study considers confocal Raman spectroscopy as a means of identifying a range of synthetic polymeric adhesives used in textile conservation. Many of the synthetic adhesives applied to support fragile textiles in the 1970s are now showing signs of ageing and the textiles are therefore being presented for retreatment. With no record of the adhesive used, conservators are unsure of the approp...

Transparent and flexible electrodes are widely used on a variety of substrates such as plastics and glass. Yet, to date, transparent electrodes on a textile substrate have not been explored. The exceptional electrical, mechanical and optical properties of monolayer graphene make it highly attractive as a transparent electrode for applications in wearable electronics. Here, we report the transfe...

The integration of the antenna and textile materials is very important in the army protective or data transmission clothing. In this study, a novel microstrip antenna integrated into a 3D orthogonal woven fabric was successfully designed and fabricated. This type of antenna is designed to work in wearable or conformal antenna applications. Simulation work using HFSS software was done for the de...

Highly flexible and electrically-conductive multifunctional textiles are desirable for use in wearable electronic applications. In this study, we fabricated multifunctional textile composites by vacuum filtration and wet-transfer of graphene oxide films on a flexible polyethylene terephthalate (PET) textile in association with embedding Ag nanoparticles (AgNPs) to improve the electrical conduct...

BACKGROUND: Determining how effective a product is to repel mosquitoes or other flying insects is a difficult task. One approach is using a bioassay with textile fabric. We investigated the role of the textile substrate in the bioassay with a numerical model, and compared with known results for DEET. We next apply the model to determine the effectiveness of textile slow-release formulations bas...
