  2. 1. Thermoelectric properties of conducting polymers

    Author : Olga Bubnova; Xavier Crispin; Magnus Berggren; Alan Kaiser; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : Thermoelectric generation; Seebeck coefficient; conducting polymers; thermoelectric efficiency.;

    Abstract : According to different sources, from forty to sixty percent of the overall energy generated in the world today is squandered in waste heat. The existing energy conversion technologies are either close to their efficiency limits or too costly to justify their implementation. READ MORE

  4. 2. Thermoelectric Devices with Electronic and Ionic Conducting Polymers

    Author : Zia Ullah; Xavier Crispin; Magnus Berggren; Marisol Martin-Gonzalez; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Thermoelectricity; conducting polymers; thermoelectric devices;

    Abstract : The energy consumption in the world is continuously growing and the sources of energy are largely dominated by fossil fuels. However, the resources of oil, gas and coal are diminishing in capacity. Moreover the CO2 emissions arising from their combustion is a great concern because it induces climate changes that threaten our habitat. READ MORE

  5. 3. Conducting Foams and Fibres for Bulk Plastic Thermoelectrics

    Author : Jason Ryan; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; nanocomposites.; e-textiles; renewable energy; conducting yarn; thermoelectrics; conjugated polymers; organic thermoelectrics; electronic textiles; polymer foams; conducting fibres;

    Abstract : The use of small portable electronics in society is constantly increasing, thus the demand for portable power sources also rises in turn. Portable electronic devices rely upon energy stored in batteries to power them, which in turn require regular access to power outlets to be recharged. READ MORE

  6. 4. Electrically Conducting Cellulose Yarns for Electronic Textiles

    Author : Sozan Darabi; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; electronic textiles; textiles; conjugated polymers; regenerated cellulose yarns; electrical properties; electrically conducting yarns; organic thermoelectrics;

    Abstract : Wearable electronics can be used for the purpose of fitness tracking, health monitoring, energy harvesting, and even for communication. Electronic textiles (e-textiles) are a versatile platform which can be employed for the realization of wearable electronics. READ MORE

  7. 5. Flexible inorganic and hybrid thermoelectric thin films based on layered calcium cobaltate

    Author : Binbin Xin; Per Eklund; Biplab Paul; Niclas Solin; Jiri Houska; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Magnetron sputtering; Nanoporous Ca3Co4O9; Thermoelectric; Flexibility;

    Abstract : With the development of wearable and miniaturized electronics, self-sustaining energy sources have drawn extensive attention. Flexible thermoelectric materials and devices is an approach to convert waste heat into electricity as continuous power supply for such applications. READ MORE
