11. Hybrid Materials for Wearable Electronics and Electrochemical Systems
Abstract : Flexible electronic systems such as wearable devices, sensors and electronic skin require power sources and sensing units that are mechanically robust, operational at low bending radius, and environmentally friendly. Recently, there has been an enormous interest in active materials such as thin film semiconductors, conductive polymers, and ion-electron conductors. READ MORE

12. Designing dynamic textile patterns
Abstract : Designing Dynamic Textile Patterns Progress in chemistry, fibres and polymers technology provides textile designers with new expressive materials, making it possible to design dynamic textile patterns, where several different expressions are inherent in the same textile, textiles that, for example, could alternate between a striped and checkered pattern. Textiles are traditionally designed and produced to keep a given, static expression during their life cycle; a striped pattern is supposed to keep its stripes. READ MORE

15. Prevention of bacterial colonization in hospital-acquired infections using electrically conducting polymers
Abstract : Biofilms are bacterial assemblies developed as response to adverse environmental conditions and external threats. Within a biofilm, a complex and highly regulated internal architecture is developed, resulting in a network of interconnected microniches. READ MORE
