The researchers embedded nanoscale particles of PNIPAM-based gels in an ethyl cellulose membrane so that clumps of the particles spanned the width of the membrane. They also entrapped magnetite nanoparticles within the membrane matrix. If the membrane is exposed to an oscillating mag...
Textile fibers are actually uniquely suited to transforming into electronics when combined with the seemingly ubiquitous carbon nanotube. Fibers made of cellulose, like cotton or polyester, are highly porous and can absorb large amounts of water and other polar solvents. When flexib...
