A spinning system was customized to produce CNT-wrapped textile yarns for wearable applications. By adjusting the spinning parameters and core yarn, a highly tailored hybrid CNT yarn could be produced for textile processing, e.g., knitting and weaving. The electrical resistance and mechanical properties of the yarn are influenced by the core yarn. The high flexibility of the yarn enabled state-of-the-art three-dimensional (3D) knitting of the CNT-wrapped yarn for the first time. Using the 3D knitted technology, CNT-wrapped textile yarns were seamlessly integrated into a wrist band and the index finger of a glove. The knitted structure exhibited a large resistance change under strain and precisely recorded the signal under the different movements of the finger and wrist. When the knitted fabric was connected to a power source, rapid heating above skin temperature was observed at a low voltage. This work presents a novel hybrid yarn for the first time, which sustained 30 washing cycles without performance degradation. By changing the core yarn, a highly stretchable and multimodal sensing system could be developed for wearable applications.}, journal={ACS APPLIED MATERIALS & INTERFACES}, author={Hossain, Md Milon and Lubna, Mostakima M. and Bradford, Philip D.}, year={2023}, month={Jan} } @article{hossain_li_sennik_jur_bradford_2022, title={Adhesive free, conformable and washable carbon nanotube fabric electrodes for biosensing}, volume={6}, ISSN={["2397-4621"]}, DOI={10.1038/s41528-022-00230-3}, abstractNote={Abstract}, number={1}, journal={NPJ FLEXIBLE ELECTRONICS}, author={Hossain, Md.

The result exhibited the presence of condensed tannin, flavonoids, anthocyanin, betacyanin, and anthraquinone as the major UVPNC components in BFS.

Natural compound as a colorant is an excellent alternative to the harsh chemical-based reactive cotton coloration process. However, natural coloration requires improvement in colorimetric properties and a better understanding of the colorant absorption mechanism. Here, we report a process for cotton coloration using bio-friendly natural colorant extracted from watermelon rind. The optical and colorimetric properties of watermelon rind saps (WRS) and WRS dyed cotton fabrics, dye-fiber bonding, chromophores absorption and color-fastness were studied. The experiment showed that the absorption of chromophores into the fabric mainly depends on their molecular weight, the position of the anchoring group and thermal stability. Chromophore adsorptions ranged from 55.4 to 81.7% resulting in excellent dye-fiber chemical potential. Coloration temperature and mordant significantly affect the colorimetric properties of cotton fabric as found in this study. All the dyed cotton samples showed good color-fastness to washing, water, rubbing, and perspiration. Furthermore, cotton dyed with WRS had better UV-protection factor (UPF) than that of the mosty used chemical-intensive reactive dyed sample.
