Modified Carbon Fiber Electrodes for Multifunctional Composites

BACKGROUND Applications of supercapacitors in the form of structural supercapacitors has been an incredibly interesting field of study in energy storage devices in the previous two decades. Supercapacitors uniquely occupy the interface of capacitors (high power density) and rechargeable batteries (high energy density). Structural supercapacitors...

Textile repurposing and sustainable garment design

BACKGROUND Occupying nearly 5% of all landfill space, textile waste (e.g., clothing, footwear, accessories, carpets, towels, bedding, drapery) has continued to make a negative impact on our environment. A variety of textile recycling methods have been developed that convert discarded textile fibers into raw materials (e.g., yarn, fibers, polymer chips)....
