Article Abstract

Fiber crossbars, an emerging electronic device, have become the most promising basic unit for advanced smart textiles. The demand for highly sensitive fiber crossbar sensors (FCSs) in wearable electronics is increased. However, the unique structure of FCSs presents challenges in replicating existing sensitivity enhancement strategies. Aiming at the sensitivity of fiber crossbar sensors, a second-order synergistic strategy is proposed that combines air capacitance and equipotential bodies, resulting in a remarkable sensitivity enhancement of over 20 times for FCSs. This strategy offers a promising avenue for the design and fabrication of FCSs that do not depend on intricate microstructures. Furthermore, the integrative structure of core-sheath fibers ensures a robust interface, leading to a low hysteresis of only 2.33% and exceptional stability. The outstanding capacitive response performance of FCSs allows them to effectively capture weak signals such as pulses and sounds. This capability opens up possibilities for the application of FCSs in personalized health management, as demonstrated by wireless monitoring systems based on pulse signals.

Powder Metallurgy Research Institute, State Key Laboratory of Powder Metallurgy, Central South University, Changsha, Hunan, 410083, China.

Memristive fibers combine information storage and computing in textile-compatible crossbar arrays, enabling intelligent textiles to process signals from integrated electronics. A simple, cost-effective coating method for complex fiber surfaces with insufficient conductivity or difficult to withstand high pressure plays a key role in textile memristor tech. Here, a high-performance and reliable textile memristor fabricated from robust copper-tin oxide coated carbon fibers (CuSnO@C) memristive fibers through a process involving two-stage selective electroless plating and subsequent thermal oxidation is reported.

Polarization processors with versatile functionalities are needed in optical systems, which use or manipulate polarized light. In this paper, we propose and realize an integrated polarization processor based on a coherent 4-port micro-ring resonator. The arbitrary unknown polarization state is input to the polarization processor via a 2-dimensional grating coupler (2DGC), which serves as a polarization beam splitter.

Contribution of Various Loads to the Convex Shape of Rock Wool Insulation Slabs during Production.

Materials (Basel)

Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, University of Ljubljana, Aškerčeva 6, 1000 Ljubljana, Slovenia.

Rock wool insulation slabs are produced in special curing ovens, where molten rock wool fibres coated with binder are compressed between two slat conveyors and blown with hot air for vitrification. Often, the cross-section of the final slabs is slightly convex, which is undesirable. The degree of convexity depends on the deformation of the steel crossbars of the slat conveyors, which are subjected to combined pressure and nonlinear temperature loadings.
