A single strand of fiber created at Washington State University possesses the electrical conductivity of a polymer called polyaniline and the flexibility of cotton. Washington State University textile ...

A recent review article by Duan-Chao Wang and colleagues in Polymers covers the research in conductive fibers, with conductive additives ranging from carbon nanotubes (CNT) and graphene to various ...

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 ...

Assessing pure resins or resin-fiberglass composites is straightforward and only requires the placement of the sample on the sensor. However, a conductive fiber contacting the sensor in carbon-fiber ...

Traditionally, shielding materials are created by molding engineering thermoplastics that are either painted with conductive films or filled with conductive and metallic additives to provide ...
