This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. In order to investigate the interfacial tuning mechanism of electronic skin (e-skin), several models of the capacitive pressure sensors (CPS) with different microstructures and several sizes of microstructures are constructed through finite element analysis method. The simulative pressure response, the sensitivity, and the linearity of the designed CPS show that the sensor with micropyramids has −7 the best performance in all the designed models. The corresponding theoretically predicted sensitivity is as high as 6.3 × 10 fF/Pa, which is about 49 times higher than that without any microstructure. Additionally, these further simulative results show that the smaller the ratios of / of pyramid, the better the sensitivity but the worse the linearity.

  • Wearable Electronics and Smart Textiles: a Critical Review

Received: 14 May 2014; in revised form: 24 June 2014 / Accepted: 1 July 2014 / Published: 7 July 2014 Abstract: Electronic Textiles (e-textiles) are fabrics that feature electronics and interconnections woven into them, presenting physical flexibility and typical size that cannot be achieved with other existing electronic manufacturing techniques. Components and interconnections are intrinsic to the fabric and thus are less visible and not susceptible of becoming tangled or snagged by surrounding objects. E-textiles can also more easily adapt to fast changes in the computational and sensing requirements of any specific application, this one representing a useful feature for power management and context awareness. The vision behind wearable computing foresees future electronic systems to be an integral part of our everyday outfits. Such electronic devices have to meet special requirements concerning wearability. Wearable systems will be characterized by their ability to automatically recognize the activity and the behavioral status of their own user as well as of the situation around her/him, and to use this information to adjust the systems‘ configuration and functionality. This review focuses on recent advances in the field of Smart Textiles and pays particular attention to the materials and their manufacturing process.

  • Wearable Textile Input Device with Multimodal Sensing for Eyes-Free Mobile Interaction During Daily Activities
    Procedia Computer Pervasive and Mobile Computing 00 (2016) 1–18 Science Wearable Textile Input Device with Multimodal Sensing for Eyes-Free Mobile Interaction during Daily Activities Sang Ho Yoon1∗, Ke Huo1 , Karthik Ramani1,2 1School of Mechanical Engineering, 2School of Electrical and Computer Engineering Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN 47907, USA Abstract As pervasive computing is widely available during daily activities, wearable input devices which promote an eyes-free interaction are needed for easy access and safety. We propose a textile wearable device which enables a multimodal sensing input for an eyes-free mobile interaction during daily activities. Although existing input devices possess multimodal sensing capabilities with a small form factor, they still suffer from deficiencies in compactness and softness due to the nature of embedded materials and components. For our prototype, we paint a conductive silicone rubber on a single layer of textile and stitch conductive threads. From a single layer of the textile, multimodal sensing (strain and pressure) values are extracted via voltage dividers. A regression analysis, multi-level thresholding and a temporal position tracking algorithm are applied to capture the different levels and modes of finger interactions to support the input taxonomy. We then demonstrate example applications with interaction design allowing users to control existing mobile, wearable, and digital devices. The evaluation results confirm that the prototype can achieve an accuracy of ≥80% for demonstrating all input types, ≥88% for locating the specific interaction areas for eyes-free interaction, and the robustness during daily activity related motions. Multitasking study reveals that our prototype promotes relatively fast response with low perceived workload comparing to existing eyes-free input metaphors.

  • Improvement of Impact Strength of Polylactide Blends with a Thermoplastic Elastomer Compatibilized with Biobased Maleinized Lins
    molecules Article Improvement of Impact Strength of Polylactide Blends with a Thermoplastic Elastomer Compatibilized with Biobased Maleinized Linseed Oil for Applications in Rigid Packaging Ramon Tejada-Oliveros, Rafael Balart * , Juan Ivorra-Martinez , Jaume Gomez-Caturla, Nestor Montanes and Luis Quiles-Carrillo * Technological Institute of Materials (ITM), Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV), Plaza Ferrándiz y Carbonell 1, 03801 Alcoy, Spain; [email protected] (R.T.-O.); [email protected] (J.I.-M.); [email protected] (J.G.-C.); [email protected] (N.M.) * Correspondence: [email protected] (R.B.); [email protected] (L.Q.-C.); Tel.: +34-966-528-433 (L.Q.-C.) Abstract: This research work reports the potential of maleinized linseed oil (MLO) as biobased compatibilizer in polylactide (PLA) and a thermoplastic elastomer, namely, polystyrene-b-(ethylene- ran-butylene)-b-styrene (SEBS) blends (PLA/SEBS), with improved impact strength for the packaging industry. The effects of MLO are compared with a conventional polystyrene-b-poly(ethylene-ran- butylene)-b-polystyrene-graft-maleic anhydride terpolymer (SEBS-g-MA) since it is widely used in these blends. Uncompatibilized and compatibilized PLA/SEBS blends can be manufactured by extrusion and then shaped into standard samples for further characterization by mechanical, thermal, morphological, dynamical-mechanical, wetting and colour standard tests. The obtained results indi- cate that the uncompatibilized PLA/SEBS blend containing 20 wt.% SEBS gives improved toughness Citation: Tejada-Oliveros, R.; (4.8 kJ/m2) compared to neat PLA (1.3 kJ/m2).

  • Processing of Elastomeric Materials
    PROCESSING OF ELASTOMERIC MATERIALS LÄROVERKET AB Summary We welcome students to a module where processing methods of elastomeric materials are discussed. Starting off with the mixing process of raw materials and continuing to describe all the different processing methods used to produce rubber products. Everything described for cured rubber as well as for thermoplastic elastomers. Students may very well choose to study the module separately as an introduction to rubber technology and benefit from the fact that there is included a short description of polymers used in the rubber industry. The module deals with the following processing techniques of elastomeric materials. Main chapters: • Mixing • Mould curing • Textile treatment • Rubber-metal bonding • Calandering • Vulcanisation • Spreading • Latex processes • Extrusion • Urethane rubber Mixing In the mixing process an uncured compound is manufactured in order to be used for further processing into a rubber product. Textile treatment Reinforcing material has to be treated to obtain dimension stabilized products with good bonding between rubber and the reinforcing material. Calandering An important process to make flat sheeting, rubber coated fabrics as uncured products or as semi product parts. Spreading A technique for manufacturing thin rubber coated fabrics. Extrusion A technique for manufacturing long length products e g tubes or profiles which can be cured to final products or be used as parts in confectioned rubber products. Mould curing Main technologies for moulding rubber are compression, transfer and injection moulding and methods for post-processing of cured products. Rubber-metal bonding To achieve a good bonding between rubber and metal, the metal has to be degreased and treated with bonding agents before moulding or autoclave curing.
