With the list of potential applications for e-textiles growing every day, scientists are continuously working on better developments in the space. Now, a team from RMIT has developed a cost-efficient and scalable method for rapidly creating textiles embedded with energy storage devices. According to the team, led by Dr Litty Thekkakara, RMIT researcher and co-developer of the technology, it takes just three minutes to produce the textile. Dr Thekkakara says: "Our research focuses on the development of a cost-efficient and scalable method for rapidly fabricating textiles that are embedded with energy storage devices. These textiles are washable and reusable, and our method can produce a 10x10cm smart textile patch in just three minutes. The project took around one year."
