Twistron Mechanical Energy Harvesters
Mechanical energy harvesters are needed for diverse applications, including self-powered wireless sensors, structural and human health monitoring systems, automotive technologies, and the extraction of energy from ocean waves. Until now, few harvesters have been flexible enough to be used as yarns in textiles, and the performance of such yarns has been...

Intelligent Textiles Prepared from Nanofiber Yarns and Polymer Fiber Actuators
While there has always been a desire for smart textiles, including fabrics which adapt depending on environmental stimuli, it has yet to be effectively accomplished due to the lack of suitable materials. These polymer fiber actuators have enabled the creation of fabrics that can reversibly change properties such as porosity, shape, color and texture....

Sheath-Core Fibers for Superelastic Electronics, Sensors, and Muscles
Summary:From fitness trackers to smart clothing, wearables are in high demand. Researchers at UT Dallas have invented a new class of elastic wires that can be woven into clothing or made into super-stretchy charger cords. Lighter-than-air, electrically conductive sheets of tiny carbon nanotubes are wrapped around a long rubber core to create conducting...

Biscrolling Nanopowders and Carbon Nanotube Sheets into Fibers, Yarns and Textiles
Non-Confidential Description:The technology is the first known method to spin biscrolled fibers/yarns from nanopowder materials using carbon nanotube (CNT) sheets as the host. Nanopowder materials (nanoparticles, nanofibers) are loaded onto the CNT sheets to form bi-layered sheets, which are then scrolled into fibers. A key advantage of this technology...
