Abstract Developing advanced materials with antibacterial and antifouling activities offers an adequate protection solution against surface bacterial contamination—a common cause of infection threatening human health. The current work reports the preparation polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) microfiber membranes decorated photoactive Ag‐TiO 2 nanoparticles using electrospinning coupled dip‐coating methods. decoration strongly enhances properties prepared membranes, particularly under light...
This paper provides insights into where and how to integrate textile inductive electrodes a car record optimal-quality respiratory signals. Electrodes of various shapes sizes were integrated the seat belt back driving simulator seat. The covered parts body: upper back, middle lower chest, waist. Three subjects completed circuits with their breathing signals being recorded. In general, signal quality while versus sitting still was similar, compared previous study ours no body movements. terms...
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and its variants have rapidly spread worldwide, causing disease (COVID-19) with numerous infected cases millions of deaths. Therefore, developing approaches to fight against COVID-19 is currently the most priority goal scientific community. As a sustainable solution stop virus, green dip-coating method utilized in current work prepare antiviral Ag-based coatings treat cotton synthetic fabrics, which are base materials used personal...
Printed alkaline batteries based on a zinc anode and manganese dioxide cathode using two different potassium hydroxide-based electrolytes were prepared. Inks developed for both electrodes to fabricate the by screen-printing techniques. Potentiodynamic electrochemical measurements allowed us determine utilization of active components each electrode ink. Galvanostatic discharge used characterize printed optimized ink formulations investigate effect cell design. The performance an battery can...

The exposure to extreme temperatures in workplaces involves physical hazards for workers. A poorly acclimated worker may have lower performance and vigilance therefore be more exposed accidents injuries. Due the incompatibility of existing standards implemented some lack thermoregulation many protective equipment, thermal stress remains one most frequent work sectors. However, these problems can overcome with use smart textile technologies that enable intelligent personal equipment. Smart...
Abstract The rise of antibiotic‐resistant microbes and concerns over non‐biodegradable waste highlight the need for innovative materials with integrated functionalities that address these critical issues. In this study, we synthesized poly(3hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) electrospun nanofibers blended gelatin (Ge) loaded photoactive AgTiO 2 nanoparticles improved mechanical biological properties. Biological tests revealed excellent antibacterial activity prepared membrane, efficiency exceeding 99%...
