With the rapid development of wearable electronic systems, the need for stretchable nanogenerators becomes increasingly important for autonomous applications such as the Internet-of-Things. Piezoelectric nanogenerators are of interest for their ability to harvest mechanical energy from the environment with its inherent polarization arising from crystal structures or molecular arrangements of the piezoelectric materials. In this work, 3D printing is used to fabricate a stretchable piezoelectric nanogenerator which can serve as a self-powered sensor based on synthesized oxide–polymer composites.

Abstract Ag2Se is a promising n-type material which has been proposed for thermoelectric (TE) application. Achieving high TE power factor for Ag2Se thin film to use in micro and wearable electronic systems has recently attracted great attention. In present work, Ag2Se thin films were prepared via a simple co-evaporation method, which provides an effective way for adjusting its composition. By selective modification of Ag content, the carrier concentration is optimized, leading to a PF of 6.27 μWcm-1K-2. Furthermore, the carrier mobility increased while carrier concentration is maintained after performing an annealing process, thus contributes to relatively high Seebeck coefficient and decent electrical conductivity for Ag2.05Se film annealed at 423 K. As a result, a record-high power factor of 20.51 μWcm-1K-2 at 393 K is achieved, which is the best result of the Ag2Se thin film prepared by evaporation method. This work has opened the way for environmentally friendly room-temperature thermoelectricity.

AbstractProtection and aesthetics are the two common dimensions or attributes typically associated with textiles as clothing. However, with the rapidly changing needs of today's consumers, a third dimension is emerging—that of “intelligence”—that is being integrated into fabrics to produce interactive textiles, or i-textiles. This new class of wearable electronic systems is being designed to meet new and innovative applications in the military, public safety, healthcare, space exploration, sports, and consumer fitness fields. In this article, the concept of i-textiles is presented, along with the building blocks for its realization. This is followed by an overview of the design and development of the Smart Shirt, an “intelligent” garment that provides an extremely versatile framework for the incorporation of sensing, monitoring, and information-processing devices. The key applications of the Smart Shirt technology and their impact in transforming healthcare are discussed. Finally, the need to advance this paradigm and identify opportunities to transform passive textiles into the new generation of interactive, or “smart,” textiles is discussed.

Abstract Yarn-based strain sensor is an emerging candidate for the fabrication of wearable electronic devices. The intrinsic properties of yarn, such as excellent lightweight, flexibility, stitchability, and especially its highly stretchable performance, stand out the yarn-based strain sensor from conventional rigid sensors in detection of human body motions. Recent advances in conductive materials and fabrication methods of yarn-based strain sensors are well reviewed and discussed in this work. Coating techniques including dip-coating, layer by layer assemble, and chemical deposition for deposition of conductive layer on elastic filament were first introduced, and fabrication technology to incorporate conductive components into elastic matrix via melt extrusion or wet spinning was reviewed afterwards. Especially, the recent advances of core–sheath/wrapping yarn strain sensor as-fabricated by traditional spinning technique were well summarized. Finally, promising perspectives and challenges together with key points in the development of yarn strain sensors were presented for future endeavor.

The aim of the article is to examine the opportunities for employees with ASD, arising from assistive technology in order to integrate work environment. The possible solution to a communication problem is replacing the interpersonal communication between employees with electronic forms of communication, communicators, chats, chatbots. Furthermore, there is the implementation of wearable electronic systems monitoring stress level and facilitating effective stress control. In the future, developing the work environment according to ‘smart workplace concept’ is expected, by connecting sensors recording human body parameters in a network with sensors recording ambient physical parameters and also with the controllers of its values, adjusting it dynamically. As a result, distracting factors influencing work performance could be eliminated, improving the work comfort of people with ASD and their collaborators.
