Research Projects

The main goal of the project is to introduce a new method for fabricating flexible electronic skins out of hydrogel microfibers that combines a microfluidic spinning technique with conductive materials such as MXene, silver, or copper encapsulation. With possible implementation with triboelectric nanogenerator technology. Microfluidic spinning is a promising technology because of how easily it can be controlled. This makes it a good option for producing functional microfibre materials with a wide variety of morphologies, such as Janus multicomponent, flat grooved, hollow, helical, etc. Microfluidic technology has been used to successfully prepare microfibers for use in a variety of fields, but the potential benefits of hollow and helical hydrogel microfibers with MXene encapsulation in flexible electronics, particularly electronic skins, have not yet been investigated due to a lack of a suitable fabrication method.
