Scientists at Standford University are developing future
inventions using e-Texiles.
This new class of flexible, stretchable and lightweight
clothing would function as rechargeable batteries.
Cotton and polyester fabrics are dyed with an ink made from
carbon nanotubes, which are electrically conductive carbon fibers that are
1/50,000th the width of a human hair.
The electronic properties of the fabric are maintained even
when the clothing is washed. Researchers believe that the e-Textiles will
eventually allow us to use our clothing as gadgets - talking to a friend
through our shirt sleeve or surfing the web on a pant leg.
