Herein, a novel kind of highly conductive, flexible and elastic yarn electrode has been put forward, which is realized by coating electro-active carbon nanotubes (CNTs) network onto the Ag-plated double-covered yarns (Ag-DCYs).
Biomaterials with elastomer content are non-invasive, rectangular, flexible, medical devices made of fabrics reinforced with elastic yarns, having longitudinal direction elasticity.
The unique fiber morphology derived by electrospinning has the capability of generating flexible sulfur yarns for the first time rendering them a highly attractive platform for small-scale mobile device applications such as textile-batteries.
Electrocardiography (ECG) is a well-documented example where very flexible electro-conductive yarns replaced rigid electrodes and therefore allowed long-term ECG monitoring [ 6].
We present a simple design and a fabrication method for a high-performance, flexible, two-ply yarn supercapacitor based on irradiated CNT yarn and conductive polymer Poly 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene -poly styrenesulfonate) (Poly 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene -poly styrenesulfonate
Now imagine it to be made of flexible yet unbreakable yarn that is stretchable and shrinkable, so that it can be smoothly transformed into other knots without cutting or gluing.
We designed and synthesized a Si carbon nanotube (CNT) yarn which is mechanically as strong and flexible as widely used yarns in the textile industry but simultaneously possesses high electrical conductivity.
Acrylic fibres are soft and flexible, producing lightweight, lofty yarns.
The use of flexible and conductive CNT yarns as capacitive electrodes and electrode scaffolds breaks with the paradigm of planar static electrodes, and opens up a range of alternative designs for electrochemical cells with enhanced performance.
Flexible supercapacitors with a yarn-like geometry were fabricated with coaxially arranged electrodes.
