Customizing Triboelectric Nanogenerator on Everyday Clothes by Screen-Printing Technology for Biomechanical Energy Harvesting and Human-Interactive Applications

Functional fibers/textiles for smart sensing devices and applications in personal healthcare systems

“…The inkjetprinting exhibits some merits such as cost-effectiveness and good compatibility with substrates. Li et al 33 reported 1D stretchable ber-shaped electronics fabricated by an inkjet printing method and demonstrated their application in wearable strain sensors. The line-scan inkjet-printing mode can complete sophisticated decoration on curved ber surfaces.…”

“…Many approaches have been used to construct smart bers/ textiles, which are mainly divided into two types. The rst is conversion or functionalization of traditional bers/textiles to conductive bers/textiles via different synthetic methods such as printing, 33,34 dip coating, 22 metal deposition, 35 and structural transformation. 36,37 The other type is the direct fabrication of electronic bers/textiles by ber/textile-making strategies such 22 Copyright 2017 Wiley-VCH.…”
