“…The rapid development of artificial intelligence and the Internet of things (IoT) is updating our lifestyle in a noticeable way, and the cornerstone of these technologies is the powerful and accurate communication between humankind and machines. − Particularly, deformable on-skin electronics are becoming the primary interactive medium for next-generation HMIs to meet the needs of stretchability, portability, and low power consumption. − Deformable electronics generally consist of stretchable substrates assembled with flexible circuits. Yet conventional wearable devices are usually made up of rigid, brittle, and hermetical matrixes that cannot realize the intimate contact with human skin nor satisfy long-term wearing comfort.…”

Stretchable electronics have attracted surging attention for next-generation smart wearables, yet traditional flexible devices fabricated on hermetical elastic substrates cannot satisfy lengthy wearing comfort and signal stability due to their poor moisture and air permeability. Herein, perspiration-wicking and luminescent on-skin electrodes are fabricated on superelastic nonwoven textiles with a Janus configuration. Through the electrospin-assisted face-to-face assembly of all-SEBS microfibers with differentiated diameters and composition, porosity and wettability asymmetry are constructed across the textile, endowing it with antigravity water transport capability for continuous sweat release. Also, the phosphor particles evenly encapsulated in the elastic fibers empower the Janus textile with stable light-emitting capability under extreme stretching in a dark environment. Additionally, the precise printing of highly conductive liquid metal (LM) circuits onto the matrix not only equips the electronic textile with broad detectability for various biophysical and electrophysiological signals but also enables successful implementation of human–machine interface (HMIs) to control a mechanical claw.

“…The superamphiphobicity refers to the contact angles of water (WCA) and oil on the surface greater than 150°. Superamphiphobic properties are widely used in self-cleaning, − anti-fouling, − anti-corrosion, , and other fields. − Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, we obtain self-cleaning photothermal materials by introducing superwettability.…”

Polydopamine/SiO₂ Hybrid Structured Superamphiphobic Fabrics with Good Photothermal Behavior

In recent years, photothermal materials that can convert light into heat energy have attracted extensive attention. In this work, we report a simple and effective approach to construct a self-cleaning photothermal superamphiphobic fabric. Dopamine (DA) can self-polymerize into polydopamine (PDA) and adhere to the surface of cotton fabric as a secondary reaction platform. Then, SiO 2 nanoparticles were in situ grown on the PDA@fabric surface by the sol−gel method. The PDA clusters can not only provide good photothermal conversion performance but also be integrated with SiO 2 to create micro−nano rough structures. Finally, the surface of SiO 2 was modified by the long chain of fluorosilane to decrease the fabric surface energy, resulting in superamphiphobicity. The contact angles of water, ethylene glycol, and pump oil on the modified fabric surface could reach 161.1, 158.1, and 142.2°, respectively, making the fabric resistant to contamination by water, common beverages, and oil. Due to the adhesion of the PDA layer, the strong binding force between the fabric and SiO 2 particles enabled the modified fabric to withstand various chemical and mechanical attacks, showing excellent mechanical robustness and harsh environmental stability. More importantly, the surface temperature of the modified fabric could be increased from 19.6 to 37.0 °C, which is close to the human body temperature, under the irradiation of simulated sunlight (I = 15 A, 300 s). The photothermal superamphiphobic fabrics with self-cleaning properties show great promise in the photothermal conversion field.

Manufacturing Technics for Fabric/Fiber-Based Triboelectric Nanogenerators: From Yarns to Micro-Nanofibers

Triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG), as a green energy harvesting technology, has aroused tremendous interest across many fields, such as wearable electronics, implanted electronic devices, and human-machine interfaces. Fabric and fiber-structured materials are excellent candidates for TENG materials due to their inherent flexibility, low cost, and high wearing comfort. Consequently, it is crucial to combine TENG with fabric/fiber materials to simultaneously leverage their mechanical energy harvesting and wearability advantages. In this review, the structure and fundamentals of TENG are briefly explained, followed by the introduction of three distinct methods for preparing fabric/fiber structures: spinning and weaving, wet spinning, and electrospinning. In the meantime, their applications have been discussed, focusing primarily on energy harvesting and wearable self-powered sensors. Finally, we discussed the future and challenges of fabric and fiber-based TENGs.
