Smart fabric
New technology harnesses electronic signals in a smart fabric that could help us to protect against toxic chemicals.
The development could help the military, emergency service personnel and other workers that depend on protection.
Researchers from Dartmouth College describes the creation of new smart fabrics, Self-Organized Framework on Textiles (SOFT), is the demonstration of detection, capture, pre-concentration and filtration of gases in a wearable that uses conductive, porous materials integrated into soft textiles.
SOFT
According to the study, the SOFT devices have the potential for use in sensing applications ranging from real-time gas detection in wearable systems, to electronically accessible adsorbent layers in protective equipment like gas masks.
