A novel intelligent Textile Technology based on silicon flexible skins
Sensors and Actuators A-physical, 2008Co-Authors: Rakesh B. Katragadda, Y. XuAbstract:This paper reports the successful prototype development of a novel intelligent Textile Technology based on the integration of silicon flexible skins with regular Textiles. This novel approach enables the embedding of sensing and computational components into Textiles without significantly compromising the flexibility and wearable properties. Silicon flexible skins comprised of arrays of silicon islands integrated with boron-doped strain gauges and metal pads were successfully fabricated using micromachining techniques. Prototypes of intelligent Textiles were developed by stitching the silicon flexible skins onto the surface of Textiles. The preliminary tests demonstrated excellent durability of the prototypes. The strain experienced by the silicon islands was monitored in real-time using the integrated strain gauges when the prototypes were mechanically deformed. These strain data provide valuable information for the further optimization, and the next stage of development, of this intelligent Textile Technology.

self learning expert systems in Textile Technology development of a socio technical approach
Procedia Manufacturing, 2020Co-Authors: Arash Rezaey, Annika Fohn, W Merx, Dennis Kremiec, Andrea Anna Altepost, Thomas GriesAbstract:Abstract Digital learning factories prepare a showcase to demonstrate the utilization of new digital technologies in production. The production of technical and domestic Textiles in European countries requires a lean and error free approach in order to maintain competency against production in low wage countries. Digital expert systems can support setting and troubleshooting processes in a Textile production. A procedure model for the introduction of a self-learning expert system (SES) based on AI developed and validated in a socio-technical approach will be introduced in this article. The introduction of the SES can be practiced in the model Textile production line in DCC of ITA Group in Aachen, Germany. The procedure model considers all required social and technical components in a Textile production. The development and design processes take place in cooperation with all relevant groups of actors like employees and managers. Its technical core is a process model which in a first step enables companies to identify the most important quality-relevant defects and the process input variables that cause them. A SES suitable for the company will then be introduced in order to support the employees in setting the process input variables, thus avoiding defects and simplifying their elimination by suggesting most relevant causes. The procedure model still contains approaches for the iterative-participative development of the SES in order to ensure acceptance by the production employees.

towards accepted smart interactive Textiles
International Conference on HCI in Business, 2017Co-Authors: Philipp Aune, Julia Van Heek, Anne Kathri Schaa, Martina Ziefle, Nur Alhuda Hamda, Lukas Ossma, Floria Helle, Ja Orchers, Klaus Scheule, Thomas GriesAbstract:Smart Interactive Textiles combine the warmth and omnipresence of Textiles in our everyday lives with the benefits of modern information and communication technologies. The potential of innovation is not only based on technical ingenuity, but also on the consideration and embedding of peoples’ fears, requirements, desires, and wishes regarding these innovative technologies. Thus, the development of smart interactive Textiles requires the expertise of various disciplines. Foremost, appropriate conductive yarns must be selected and integrated into conventional fabrics. Sensors and actuators must be embedded in Textiles in a way that they could be used as a user interface. The design of these Textiles should meet human needs and should enable an intuitive, easy to learn, and effective interaction. To meet these requirements, potential users should be part of the development and evaluation processes of innovative smart Textiles. In this article, we present a research framework that integrates several interdisciplinary perspectives (interface design, Textile Technology, integration and automation, communication and human factors). We realized three functional smart Textile demonstrators (curtain, chair, jacket). We report on the results of this interdisciplinary research project as well as the research questions and key findings of the individual partners. In summary, this article demonstrates that interdisciplinary cooperation, user-centered and participatory design, and iterative product development are necessary for successful innovative technologies.

integrating substrateless electrospinning with Textile Technology for creating biodegradable three dimensional structures
Nano Letters, 2015Co-Authors: John Joseph, Shantikumar V Nair, Deepthy MenonAbstract:The present study describes a unique way of integrating substrateless electrospinning process with Textile Technology. We developed a new collector design that provided a pressure-driven, localized cotton-wool structure in free space from which continuous high strength yarns were drawn. An advantage of this integration was that the Textile could be drug/dye loaded and be developed into a core–sheath architecture with greater functionality. This method could produce potential nanoTextiles for various biomedical applications.

large scale dielectrophoretic construction of biofilms using Textile Technology
Biotechnology and Bioengineering, 2007Co-Authors: Zurina Zainal Abidin, Les Downes, Gerard H MarkxAbstract:Arrays of microelectrodes for AC electrokinetic experiments were fabricated by weaving together stainless steel wires (weft) and flexible polyester yarn (warp) in a plain weave pattern. The cloth produced can be used to collect cells in low conductivity media by dielectrophoresis (DEP). The construction of model biofilms consisting of a yeast layer on top of a layer of M. luteus is demonstrated, using polyethylenimine (PEI) as the flocculating agent. This technique offers an alternative to the formation of biofilms at microelectrodes made by photolithography, and would allow the construction of biofilms with defined internal architectures by DEP at much larger scales than was possible previously. Furthermore, the flexibility of the cloth would also allow it to be distorted or folded into various shapes.
