报告人简介:

Dr. Menghe Miao is principal scientist in materials science and engineering, Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO), Australia. He graduated from Donghua University, China, received his PhD in textile engineering from the University of Leeds, UK, and was awarded Fellow of the Textile Institute (FTI, CText) in 2000. His research embraces many facets of the science and engineering of fiber-based materials, including fiber, yarn and fabric materials and manufacturing technology, textile performances and product engineering, carbon nanotube yarns and nanocomposites, structure and fabrication of fiber-reinforced composite materials, flexible energy storage devices, textile sensors and artificial muscles.

 

报告摘要:

Through the history of civilization, human body is accustomed to the comfort of textiles. We want our future interactive health-monitoring devices and other wearable electronics to be as comfortable as our intimate garments. Similar flexible devices are also finding applications in emerging soft/morphing robots. Functional fibres provide the foundation for constructing wearable sensors, actuators and energy storage devices. New fibre materials, for example, carbon nanotube fibres, which are porous yet strong and tough, are electrically conductive and therefore well suited for constructing threadlike energy storage devices in combination with high-performance electrochemically active materials. Piezo-resistive yarns in knitted structures can provide high-sensitivity bidirectional sensing that are ideal for body posture and movement monitoring. Highly anisotropic fibers, on the other hand, are desirable materials for constructing actuators (artificial muscles) with output stress and work capacity that are orders of magnitude higher than animal skeletal muscles. This talk will provide an overview of our recent research in fibre-based wearable devices and challenges facing us.
