  • Mimicking the Body's Circulatory Air Conditioning Could Keep Airplanes, Cars and Computers Cooler

    October 31, 2019

    The complex network of veins that keeps us cool during the heat of summer has inspired engineers to create novel thermal management systems. But replicating the circulatory system, in form or function, has been no easy task. Recently, a team of researchers from Drexel University and North Carolina State University created a computer program that could be key to mimicking the body’s evolution-optimized cooling system in functional materials.

    That New Yarn?! — Wearable, Washable Textile Devices Are Possible With MXene-Coated Yarns

    October 11, 2019

    In a paper recently published in the journal Advanced Functional Materials, researchers showed that they can create a highly conductive, durable yarn by coating standard cellulose-based yarns with a type of conductive two-dimensional material called MXene.

  • That New Yarn?! — Wearable, Washable Textile Devices Are Possible With MXene-Coated Yarns

    October 10, 2019

    Drexel University researchers have figured out how to add more conductivity into functional fabric devices, by coating yarns with a two-dimensional carbon-based material called MXene, to make conductive threads. The group has developed a dip-coating method, similar to the dyeing process, that can produce a conductive yarn strong enough for use in industrial knitting machines and durable enough to make it through wash cycles without degrading.
