Demystify the mystery of smart conductive fibers

Early in the United States, the University of Michigan successfully developed a conductive smart fiber that can detect blood. They use this fiber to fabricate fabrics that can be made to detect blood and monitor health.

Wide range of military uses:

Soldiers, fire fighters or police officers injured on the battlefield cannot send information to the command post because they are unconscious. A patient whose health is at the limit cannot tell the doctor about his condition. However, wearing clothes worn by them can solve this problem by detecting blood.

When the blood of the wounded soldier leaves the bloodstream for several minutes, the blood changes from a flowing sol state to a non-flowable jelly-like clot, a process called blood coagulation or blood coagulation. During coagulation, the fibrin source in the plasma is converted to insoluble blood fibers. The blood fibers are interwoven into a net and many blood cells are snared to form a blood clot. One to two hours after the blood clot, the clot retreats again and releases a light liquid called serum. The difference between serum and plasma is that the former lacks fibrinogen and a small amount of other plasma proteins involved in hemagglutination, but it also adds a small amount of substances released by platelets when hemagglutination occurs.

The plasma contains various substances that cause blood clotting. Therefore, the blood can be collected and placed in a glass tube to coagulate blood. There is another substance in the plasma that prevents blood coagulation, called anticoagulant. Blood can keep flowing in blood vessels. Anticoagulants play an important role, among other things. There are some substances in the blood vessels that can decompose the blood fibers. These substances constitute the fibrinolytic system (fibrinloytic system).

In physiological hemostasis, hemagglutination, anticoagulation and fibrinolysis interact with each other, effectively preventing blood loss and maintaining blood flow in the blood vessel.

The principle reveals:

Researchers at the University of Michigan used nanotechnology to provide viable solutions. The researchers proposed a new manufacturing process for smart yarns. This smart yarn has a guided current function. These yarns can be effectively woven into soft fabrics and custom made into garments. These garments can detect blood and monitor the health. During the manufacturing process of this high-tech fiber, the polymer is dissolved in trifluoroethanol organic solvent, stirred until completely dissolved, and a cotton yarn with a diameter of 1.5 mm is immersed in an ethanol-adhesive polymer. Times, and dry, so that the treated yarn can conduct electricity from the battery, allowing the diode lighting device to emit light.

Due to the conductivity of carbon nanotubes, normal cotton becomes a conductive material. After the process is completed, the cotton yarn still maintains its soft characteristics. This cotton yarn has been greatly improved compared to the currently designed current-carrying fabric. The only change in cotton yarn is that the cotton yarn becomes black due to the presence of carbon.

How do these garments detect blood and monitor health?

The principle is that anti-albumin reacts with albumin and finds proteins in the blood. When the albumin-injected yarn is in contact with albumin, the electrical conductivity increases, and the communication device is connected. Even if the soldier is injured and unconscious, he cannot call for help. Communication equipment such as a mobile phone can also transmit information to the command post.

Application advantages:

These fabrics produced with smart yarns can be used in high-risk specialized areas. A dangerous squad, a firefighter injured at work, a soldier wounded on the front line, they may not be able to send out a distress message, but garments filled with smart yarns will be able to do this.

Clothing can be designed as needed to store energy, which can start small electronic devices. A mobile phone or any other form of communication device attached to the garment transmits the information to a command post. It can also be used to monitor healthy clothing. As a functional garment, its application is promising and profitable.

Current-sensitive garments made of smart conductive fibers can be adapted to various potential risks.

At present, smart fabrics are made of metal or fiber. They wear quickly, are fragile, and are uncomfortable to wear. Such textiles often encounter problems in the laundry room. Smart conductive fiber innovative ways to solve problems for the textile industry.
