Researchers develop fabric that generates electricity from body heat | The fabric offers possibilities for health checks, and activity tracking.
The researchers stress that this novel fabric is more stable, durable, and cost-effective than existing market choices.
By applying a sticky polydopamine (PDA) layer to the nylon fabric, the team created a surface that attracts MXene particles through hydrogen bonds. However, this progress relies on extensive data collection, which conventional sensors, often bulky, heavy, and costly, cannot meet,” said Li, director of Waterloo’s Printable Electronic Materials Lab. As per the press release, these smart masks could monitor breath temperature and rate, while also detecting chemical indicators for viruses, lung cancer, and other diseases.
