Functionalization of 3D-printed gyroid structures with active agents for enhanc...
Pinto, Ângela; Moreira, Maria João; Gonçalves, Afonso; Rua, Ricardo F.; Arruda, Luisa Mendes; Gomes, Fernanda; Antunes, Joana; Bessa, JoãoThe textile industry is a major consumer of water, contributing significantly to global water pollution due to the discharge of untreated wastewater containing dyes and chemicals. Consequently, water contamination in this sector is a pressing issue that demands immediate attention. Hence, the present studies alternative filtration solutions using strategically designed gyroid structures for Plate and Frame filt...
Flexible pressure and temperature microsensors for textile-integrated wearables
Santos, Dimitri Emmanuel dos; Queiroz, José Bento; Garcia, Inês Sofia; Vieira, João; Fernandes, José; Sotgiu, Edoardo; Minas, Graça; Bouçanova, MariaEnvironmental factors, such as pressure and temperature, are known to contribute to the formation of ulcers that seriously affect bedridden individuals. Researchers have proposed several technologies to achieve the long-term monitoring of those parameters, usually relying on sensing mats, which poses difficulties in correlating the measurements with specific parts of the body. In this work, we aim to develop mi...
Development of smart clothing to prevent pressure injuries in bedridden persons...
Rêgo, Anderson da Silva; Furtado, Guilherme Eustáquio; Bernardes, Rafael A.; Santos-Costa, Paulo; Dias, Rosana A.; Alves, Filipe S.; Ainla, AlarPressure injuries (PIs) are a major public health problem and can be used as quality-of-care indicators. An incipient development in the field of medical devices takes the form of Smart Health Textiles, which can possess innovative properties such as thermoregulation, sensing, and antibacterial control. This protocol aims to describe the process for the development of a new type of smart clothing for individual...
Próteses híbridas de membro superior: interfaces entre o design de moda e os tê...
Arruda, Luisa MendesAo derivar de um interesse pelas próteses manufaturadas pela impressão 3D, na qualidade de peças vestíveis, como discurso estético do próprio corpo – e motivados pelo fenómeno que é o crescente número de amputados no mundo, comparado à ínfima parcela detentora de próteses responsivas - esta pesquisa surge da indagação: o imbricamento entre o Design de Moda com a Engenharia Têxtil, pode gerar novas soluções para...
Development of piezoresistive sensors based on graphene nanoplatelets screen-pr...
Arruda, Luisa Mendes; Moreira, Inês Maria Pimentel; Sanivada, Usha Kiran Kumar; Carvalho, Helder; Fangueiro, RaúlAlthough the force/pressure applied onto a textile substrate through a uniaxial compression is constant and independent of the yarn direction, it should be noted that such mechanical action causes a geometric change in the substrate, which can be identified by the reduction in its lateral thickness. Therefore, the objective of this study was to investigate the influence of the fabric orientation on both knitted...
Joule-heating effect of thin films with carbon-based nanomaterials
Sanivada, Usha Kiran Kumar; Esteves, Dina; Arruda, Luisa Mendes; Silva, Carla A.; Moreira, Inês Maria Pimentel; Fangueiro, RaúlSmart textiles have become a promising area of research for heating applications. Coatings with nanomaterials allow the introduction of different functionalities, enabling doped textiles to be used in sensing and heating applications. These coatings were made on a piece of woven cotton fabric through screen printing, with a different number of layers. To prepare the paste, nanomaterials such as graphene nanopla...
