  • Superhydrophobic PDMS/wax coated polyester textiles with self-healing ability via inlaying method
    Progress in Organic Coatings, 2019
    Co-Authors: Yuemei Zhao, Bo Chen, Xiaoyun Hu, Yudong He, Chunliang He
    Abstract:

    Abstract A superhydrophobic polyester textile (SPT) with easily repairable ability was obtained by modifying pristine textile (RT) with PDMS and paraffin wax under 120 °C, the textile fiber became compact and exhibited clear micronano structures by a strong interact of PDMS/wax and textiles. The as prepared textiles exhibit satisfactory stability after mechanical abrasion and chemical-corrosion. Furthermore, the coated textiles possess excellent self-cleaning ability and could be used to selectively separate various kinds of oil-water mixture. More interestingly, the fabric can recover its super liquid-repellent property after drying at room temperature even after immersing in water for a week. This work provides a facile strategy to prepare an environment safety superhydrophobic polyester textile for practical utilization.

  • Smart E-Textile Materials
    Advanced Functional Materials, 2020
    Co-Authors: Dilan Canan Çelikel
    Abstract:

    Smart textiles are one of the areas that provides added value to textile materials. It is a sector that has been developed with new technologies, new fibers, and textile materials. The production of smart or intelligent textiles cooperate with other branches of science like nanotechnology, materials science, design, electronics, and computer engineering, etc. Smart textiles are classified into three groups as passive smart textiles, active smart textiles and ultra smart textiles according to their performance characteristics. Passive smart textiles are the first generation of smart textiles and sense the external conditions; for instance, UV protecting clothing, conductive fibers, etc. As active smart textiles respond to external conditions, ultra smart textiles sense, react, and adopt themselves to conditions. Shape memory materials, chromic materials, heat storage, and thermo-regulated fabrics are the typical applications of active smart textiles.

  • Smart textiles: Challenges and opportunities
    Journal of Applied Physics, 2012
    Co-Authors: Kunigunde Cherenack, Liesbeth Van Pieterson
    Abstract:

    Smart textiles research represents a new model for generating creative and novel solutions for integrating electronics into unusual environments and will result in new discoveries that push the boundaries of science forward. A key driver for smart textiles research is the fact that both textile and electronics fabrication processes are capable of functionalizing large-area surfaces at very high speeds. In this article we review the history of smart textiles development, introducing the main trends and technological challenges faced in this field. Then, we identify key challenges that are the focus of ongoing research. We then proceed to discuss fundamentals of smart textiles: textile fabrication methods and textile interconnect lines, textile sensor, and output device components and integration of commercial components into textile architectures. Next we discuss representative smart textile systems and finally provide our outlook over the field and a prediction for the future.
