Description

Weavable thermoelectric textile for body heat management. Real-time control of the localized body temperature, along with efficient and effective first aid, can alleviate discomfort and enhance productivity in industries. The project aims to develop a lightweight, energy-efficient, and durable wearable smart fabric for localized and controllable heating or cooling with ultra-low power input, catering to individual needs in sectors like construction and mining. By integrating device design and materials engineering strategies, the goal is to achieve rapid, precise, and controllable thermal regulation for specific body area for alleviating the hurt and damage. The expected outcomes will bring healthy and wealthy benefits for Australian industry.. Scheme: Linkage Projects. Field: 4016 - Materials Engineering. Lead: Prof Zhi-Gang Chen
