Promising route to piezoelectric nylon fibres

BathA new method for producing nylon fibres that are smart enough to produce electricity from simple body movement has been developed in a collaboration between the UK’s University of Bath, the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research in Germany and the University of Coimbra in Portugal.

It is based on work on solution-processed piezoelectric nylons led by Professor Kamal Asadi from the Department of Physics at Bath and his former PhD student Saleem Anwar.
