L'intervento di Riccardo Marchesi in occasione della presentazione del progetto AI Textiles che si è tenuta il 19 giugno a Cagliari

1. Cagliari, 19 Giugno 2018
Riccardo Marchesi
E-Textiles e loro applicazioni

2. Smart Fabrics
fabrics that react to a stimulus or generate
specific actions
- temperature (thermocromic fabrics)
- specific substances [water, PVA] (fishing)
- light (luminescent, reflective fabrics)
- scent (fragrance emitting fabrics)
- chemical substances (insect repellent)
- swelling fabrics (submarine cables)

4. E-Textiles
fabrics that can function electrically as
electronics and behave physically as textiles
- temperature (heat generation)
- temperature (sensor)
- stretch (stretch sensor)
- tactile pressure (sensor)
- sensor for liquids
- sensors for chemicals (not yet!)
