Use OF Carbon Nanotubes For The Making OF Batteries From Fabrics
29th January 2010
Ordinary polyester and cotton fabrics have now been turned into batteries. These batteries will retain their flexibility. It will help in integrating the devices into clothing. This latest demonstration is going to be a boost to the promising field of wearable electronics. This approach is based on dipping the fabrics on an ink of tiny tubes, made up of carbon. The demonstrations were first done on plain copier paper in the last year.
The latest application to fabrics ahs been reported in the journal Nano Letters. These kinds of wearable electronics represent the development of new class of materials. Now all the previous impossibilities have turned into possibilities, with this single technology. It will do a lot more than the traditional electronics.
Now an ordinary t-shirt can be transformed into an e-shirt. And this can be done by the ink made by Yi Cui and his team at Stanford University in the US. The basis idea has been kept the same, as he and his team had worked on the plain paper. An electrical connection is maintained across the whole garment with the help of the interwoven fibers of fabrics, like those of paper, are particularly suited to absorbing the nanotube ink.
