学術講演会

日　時：平成２８年５月１８日(水)　１４：４０～１６：１０
場　所：信州大学繊維学部 講義棟３０番講義室
主　催：環境・エネルギー材料科学研究所
世話人：杉本　渉（環境・エネルギー材料科学研究所／繊維学部）

講師：Yury Gogotsi教授（Drexel University, USA）
題目：「E-Textiles Manufacturing and Development of Knitted Touch
Sensors and Supercapacitors」
概要： Electronic textiles, also known as e-textiles or garment devices
have found a variety of applications in the military and medicine as
wearable sensors to monitor soldier or patient vitals, as well as in
athletic garments to give real-time feedback to athletes on their
performance. However, many of these garments require a power source,
such as a battery, but have thus far only integrated conventional coin
cell or pouch cell batteries into the fabric.
This seminar provides an overview of the advances made in the field of
wearable energy storage, specifically pertaining to batteries or
electrochemical capacitors made as fabrics and yarns.

講師の紹介：Yury Gogotsi is Distinguished University Professor and
