TL;DR: A hierarchical graphene–metallic textile composite electrode concept is reported, which is lightweight, highly flexible, strong, durable in life cycle and bending fatigue tests, and integratable into various wearable electronic devices.

TL;DR: Low-cost materials are used including multiwall carbon nanotube, reduced graphene oxide, and metallic textiles to fabricate composite fabric electrodes, in which MWCNT and RGO are alternatively vacuum-filtrated directly onto Ni-coated cotton fabrics to achieve ultrahigh areal capacitance.

TL;DR: Textile triboelectric nanogenerators for human respiratory monitoring with machine washability are developed through loom weaving of Cu-PET and PI-Cu-PET yarns by integrating into a chest strap, human respiratory rate and depth can be monitored.

TL;DR: This paper comprehensively reviews the fundamental understanding of functional polymer surfaces for controlling cell behaviors and finds surface chemistry, mechanical properties and topography of these functional polymers to be three major parameters for effective control of cell behaviors.

TL;DR: A recently developed full-solution processing strategy, polymer-assisted metal deposition (PAMD), which is particularly suitable for the roll-to-roll, low-cost fabrication of high-performance compliant metal conductors on a wide variety of organic substrates including plastics, elastomers, papers, and textiles is highlighted.
