Functional Fabrics: Functionally Graded Knitted Actuators with NiTi‐Based Shape Memory Alloys for Topographically Self‐Fitting Wearables (Adv. Mater. Technol. 11/2019)
Source abstract
Abstract
In article number 1900548, Brad Holschuh, Julianna Abel, and co-workers develop the first circumferentially contractile and topographic self-fitting garment composed of NiTi-based shape memory alloy (SMA) knitted actuators that dynamically conform to the unique shape and size of the body in response to a change in the garment's temperature. This research presents a paradigm shift for wearable applications by redefining garment fit to fully topographical conformation to the wearer through advanced materials and structures design.
