Article Synopsis
- Light and active mobility, along with multimodal transportation, can play a vital role in reducing carbon emissions and improving air quality, which is essential for health and leisure.
- The integration of low-cost, compact embedded systems like the BME688 sensor, used in wearables and solar-powered charging stations, helps create a distributed network to monitor air quality in real-time.
- Initial experiments indicate that the BME688 is effective in assessing air quality, although factors like humidity significantly affect its readings, particularly in uncontrolled outdoor environments.
Hypothesis: From the end of the twentieth century, the growing interest in a new generation of wearable electronics with attractive application for military, medical and smart textiles fields has led to a wide investigation of chemical finishes for the production of electronic textiles (e-textiles).
Experiments: Herein, a novel method to turn insulating cotton fabrics in electrically conductive by the deposition of three-dimensional hierarchical vertically aligned carbon nanotubes (VACNT) is proposed. Two VACNT samples with different length were synthesized and then dispersed in 4-dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid combined with silica-based sol-gel precursors.
