SubsidieMeestersElectrical Modulation of Elastic Moduli
This project aims to develop stimuli-responsive textiles using conjugated polymers to enable tactile communication through adjustable pliability and texture for applications in robotics and virtual reality.
Projectdetails
Introduction
How could a textile change its feel upon the push of a button? While we are accustomed to visual displays and loudspeakers, interactive tactile perception largely eludes our experience. Textiles that change their pliability and texture would allow for communication using our sense of touch.
Potential Applications
Potential applications abound, including:
- Human-machine interfaces for robotics
- New forms of virtual reality
Project Overview
To facilitate such a tuneable mechanical response, materials are needed whose stiffness can be altered. This project will use conjugated polymers to realize stimuli-responsive materials.
Material Development
The developed materials will be spun into fibres and yarns, which will be integrated into prototype textile devices that can undergo a reversible change in pliability and texture.
Research Implications
The explored materials science concepts will open up a new line of research in the blossoming field of organic electronics. Meanwhile, the application-oriented part of the project opens new horizons for the interdisciplinary field of wearable electronics.
