Conductive yarns are used as the decisive material in the field of wearable devices, but there has always been a problem that the conductive coating on the surface of the fibre is easily peeled off &#8211; mainly because there is no strong bonding force between the conductive metal layer and the yarn.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We have therefore developed a high-quality conductive yarn using tannic acid &#8211; which is widely used in red wine &#8211; as a binder between the conductive layer and the fibre. We have also studied the condensed state of nanoclusters in the microscopic world, and proposed a soap foam type to explain the agglomeration state of nanoparticles.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2019\" aria-labelledby=\"figcaption_attachment_2019\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2019\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/uommaterialsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2019\/07\/Xuqing-Liu-red-wine-300x182.jpg\" alt=\"Figures from the research\" width=\"465\" height=\"282\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/uommaterialsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2019\/07\/Xuqing-Liu-red-wine-300x182.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/uommaterialsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2019\/07\/Xuqing-Liu-red-wine-768x466.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/uommaterialsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2019\/07\/Xuqing-Liu-red-wine.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 465px) 100vw, 465px\" \/><figcaption id=\"figcaption_attachment_2019\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Figures from the research.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>What could this mean for the public?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We used an advanced scanning electron microscopy to investigate metal nanostructures and proposed a new soap bubble model to explain the condensed state of the microcosm. Through our proposed soap bubble model, the public can better understand the composition of matter at the nanoscale through the macroscopic world phenomenon, although there is no advanced electron microscope.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>What impact could the research have in the future?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Our results have led to a significant reduction in the manufacturing costs of wearable devices, making the price of wearable devices more acceptable to the public. It also increases the life of wearable devices, which again makes them more cost efficient.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>How is this research unique?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This research is inspired by red wine stains &#8211; a common problem for many people. The embarrassment this can cause has inspired us to use the science involved to make wearable devices. It has also got me thinking philosophically: everything has two sides &#8211; sometimes the side of failure, but from another perspective it may turn into a success.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Read more about Dr Liu&#8217;s research on the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.manchester.ac.uk\/discover\/news\/red-wine-may-hold-the-key-to-next-gen-wearable-technology\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">University news pages<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Images: Dr Xuqing Liu, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/tobiastoft\/3704779302\/in\/photolist-6DnXPd-4ueCXH-dxprJ9-24ZT88Q-pkZTw2-hijUps-9nN8nt-2duX2vx-p2qCYe-dcrWK6-coH6B9-XoMr34-9ALaNT-hqQyaQ-7g5QT9-djEf6r-o5t45n-djwCfw-8fqe5P-9ujghi-4FmLWd-7iygny-Qjryaj-9j8jTk-5dGBCE-8SN7nR-G8FAfA-aC9j5u-foUanA-BZvWNZ-dBDht-8c1SMg-61Kpy-2qrasi-5Q7qSh-4FmGtb-8szAhk-PBgQnQ-cJTqqu-de9Bta-SEaDQo-83dcUe-aYUmeR-r8oSUX-83ddPv-5NMyBk-7dLaNR-83gmGq-dGeoap-4BGKSh\">Tobias Toft<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr Xuqing Liu explains how the &#8216;failure&#8217; of red wine stains can be turned into successes when it comes to the next generation of wearable devices.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":202,"featured_media":2018,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[252],"tags":[4,12,92,18],"class_list":{"0":"post-2016","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-research-and-impact","8":"tag-engineering","9":"tag-fashion","10":"tag-materials-science","11":"tag-research","12":"entry"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
