To kick off 2022, Victoria Nickerson interviews Milon Hossein, a graduate research assistant at North Carolina State University (NC State) in the US.
Situated in Raleigh, NC State is a public research university that excels across several disciplines, though it is particularly well known for the Wilson College of Textiles. The college offers hands-on, science-based textile education through two departments: Textile and Apparel, Technology and Management (TATM) and Textile Engineering, Chemistry and Science (TECS).
In this podcast, Hossein discusses his team’s work on mapping the progress in flexible electrodes for wearable electronic textiles. Flexible electrodes are widely used in smart textiles as they help provide electronic functionality to the human body, enabling devices to collect, process, store, transmit and display information about the wearer. Hossein provides an analysis of different electroactive materials and textile architectures, talks about the potential application areas, and highlights the remaining challenges in terms of developing and commercialising this technology.
