A Lightweight, Flexible and Mechanically Robust Nonwoven Copper Metallized Nylon‐6 Fibers for Enhanced Charge Dissipation and Reduced Electrical Resistance for ESD Protection

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
A breathable and mechanically robust PA6 electrospun textile is modified via physical vapor deposition of a nanoscale copper layer, enabling efficient electrostatic charge dissipation. The resulting material exhibits a 99.6% decrease in triboelectric voltage and a 60% increase in tensile strength, offering a multifunctional solution for electrostatic ...

AI‐Enhanced Gait Analysis Insole with Self‐Powered Triboelectric Sensors for Flatfoot Condition Detection

Advanced Materials Technologies, Volume 10, Issue 6, March 18, 2025.
The given research presents an innovative insole‐based device employing self‐powered triboelectric nanogenerators (TENG) for flatfoot detection. By integrating TENG tactile sensors within an insole, the device converts mechanical energy from foot movements to electrical signals analyzed via machine learning, achieving an 82% accuracy rate in flatfoot ...

Unilateral Ankle‐Foot Exoneuromusculoskeleton with Balance‐Sensing Feedback for Self‐Help Telerehabilitation after Stroke

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This study introduces a hybrid robot that integrates mechanical assistance by musculoskeletons (i.e., soft pneumatic muscle with rigid exoskeletal extensions), neuromuscular electrical stimulation, and vibrotactile feedback in a lightweight wearable mechatronic complex applicable to the paretic ankle–foot poststroke for gait restoration. The system can
