A large number of unique effects related to surface and interfaces occur in structures or materials with nanometer dimensions, leading to very different physical properties (mechanical, thermal, optical, magnetic, electronic…) as compared with bulk, or macroscale structures. Th...
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...
