BioPiezo - Biobased piezofibres for technical textiles
The development of high tech and high value applications for bioplastics may be one key to accelerate growth of the bioplastics sector. We aim to develop one such application: biobased piezoelectric fibres (piezofibres) for use in technical textiles.
This project is a pre-study with the goal to identify one or several bioplastic materials suitable for development of piezofibres. The materials selection will be based on experimental results on (i) piezoelectric response, (ii) processability with respect to melt spinning and coating with conductive graphene and (iii) suitability for use in a few products selected by the end-users in the project.
