A single strand of fiber developed at Washington State University has the flexibility of cotton and the electric conductivity of a polymer, called polyaniline. The newly developed material showed good ...

A novel, highly flexible, conductive polymer-based fiber with high electric capacitance is reported. In its crossection the fiber features a periodic sequence of hundreds of conductive and isolating ...

Researchers have harnessed the strength of bagworm silk to produce a strong conductive fiber. To obtain this novel fiber, the research team combined bagworm silk with polyaniline as a conducting ...

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, Jan. 21, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sales in the global conductive fibers market are slated to top US$ 1.8 Bn in 2022. Expanding at a healthy 11.6% CAGR, the market size is ...

It’s hard to know exactly how technologists might use electrically conductive fibers that can perform at a high level even when stretched to 15 times their length. But it’s possible the fibers, ...

What if your clothes could sense, respond, and even help you move? That's the vision behind the doctoral project on "textile nerves"—conductive fibers designed for electronic and ionotronic textiles.

Movies and television have educated us more than we know. Thanks to detective thrillers, we understand about the drama of "wearing a wire." But a NASA-sponsored technology is paving the way for all of ...

A beating heart relies on a healthy circuitry of electrical signals to maintain a steady rhythm, and when that system breaks down it can lead to grave consequences. Pacemakers and medications can be ...
