Posted by Shubham Ghosh Roy in categories: energy, materials
Scientists at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) have developed a stretchable and waterproof fabric that turns energy generated from body movements into electrical energy.
A crucial component in the fabric is a polymer that, when pressed or squeezed, converts mechanical stress into electrical energy. It is also made with stretchable spandex as a base layer and integrated with a rubber-like material to keep it strong, flexible, and waterproof.
