Graphene has unique chemical and mechanical properties. Scientists believe that this material of the future clothing technology is the most suitable replacement for silicon for the semiconductor industry. Researchers from the University of Cambridge is one of the most active in the development of graphene and even created a special department dedicated to such studies. The first draft of Cambridge Graphene Centre (CGC) e miniature motion sensor. It was created by a special coating of cotton soaked in ink graphene.
The future clothing technology ensures that the sensor is not only cheaper to produce but durable enough to be used in different fields of medicine to sportswear and smart gadgets forward DigitalTrends. The conductive properties of cotton due to the chemically modified layers of graphene which are readily attached to the cotton fibers. The new sensor can withstand many cycles of covering that would enable them to integrate it directly to technological clothes of the future.
Graphene is harmless to the environment but is also flexible and inexpensive to manufacture. Thanks to these features smart clothes with this sensor can be washed repeatedly without compromising their work. According to them, the cotton cover is the best way to create conductive textile products. The combination between him and graphene enable the sensor to detect more than 500 million. Movements and withstand 10 washing cycles in the washing machine.
