The United States Has Developed A New Type Of Textile Material Or Will Be Made Into A Remote-Controlled Electrical Wearable Device.

Researchers in the United States have developed a new type of textile material that can be remotely controlled by electric switches and music players if they are sewn on clothes and the wearer touches their clothes with their fingers.


According to India's Asia News International News Agency, 13, researchers at the University of Purdue in the United States made use of superhydrophobic materials friction nano power generation technology (RF-TENGs) to make this new material.


Researchers say the clothes made of this material are like a wearable remote control. The wearer can touch the clothes to control different electrical appliances.


The website of Purdue University published several pictures to illustrate the possible application of this material: sewing two pieces of long strip material similar to glued to the collar of T-shirt, touching one piece of long material. The light color part can play music, dark part is suspended, and another piece of material is used to adjust the volume of the deep color part.


Researcher Ramse Martinez said: "for the first time, this technology has made the existing fabrics or textiles become spontaneous electrical e textiles containing inductors, music players or simple lighting devices, and can be transformed simply by using simple embroidery without the need for expensive equipment or complex steps to process textile materials."


In a report published in the American Journal of advanced functional materials, the researchers say that the new material has the functions of rain prevention, odor control and bacteria control, and can be cleaned by ordinary washing machines. The office of the Purdue technology commercialization research fund has applied for patent and is looking for partners for testing this new technology, and intends to put it into commercial application.
