Manage episode 481153227 series 2900836
The Textile Innovation Podcast speaks with Pasindu Lugoda, senior lecturer in medical device design at Nottingham Trent University.
A research team from Nottingham Trent University, in collaboration with Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) and Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, have developed washable and durable magnetic field sensing electronic textiles, paving the way for touchless interaction through clothing.
In this episode we speak with lead researcher Pasindu Lugoda about the advancements in the field of Smart Textiles. Lugoda delves into how tiny flexible and highly responsive ‘magneoresistive’ sensors can be placed within braided textile yarns compatible with conventional textile manufacturing.
Nottingham Trent University’s department of engineering has a smart wearable research group, which looks into novel wearable materials and systems for sensors, actuators, displays and communications in medical, sport, creative and personal protective equipment sectors.
Lugoda explains how smart textiles have progressed and evolved over time. He touches upon how the sector can advance and the challenges it currently faces. To learn more please visit ntu.ac.uk.
