The invention relates to a polymeric fibre derived from a copolymer of polyacrylonitrile and a comonomer. The fibre comprises a metal ion and/or silicon at from about 1 to about 15 wt %. A process for making the fibre is also described.

Extruded polyacrylonitrile copolymer

The invention relates to process for preparing a flame resistant and/or flame retardant polymer, comprising reacting an acrylonitrile polymer with an organic diamine.

Flame-retardant acrylonitrile polymer for fibre manufacture

Embodiments relate to conductive textiles and methods of their production, as well as systems for electronically connecting devices through conductive textiles. An example textile comprises a first electrically conductive track; a second electrically conductive track; and at least one non-conductive portion. At least a portion of the first electrically conductive track overlaps or is in close proximity to at least a portion of the second electrically conductive track. At least said portions of the respective tracks are separated by an insulating material so that there is no electrical coupling between the first and second tracks.

Electrically conductive textile

A composite sensor fiber comprising a filamentary core () and an outer layer () encapsulating an intermediate sensor layer () of a detectably thermoresponsive material. Also disclosed are a method of making composite sensor fibers, a dressing comprising a fabric having a matrix of the fibers, and a method of monitoring a wound that utilizes the dressing.

Composite sensor fibres and applications therefor

A flexible energy storage device comprising a flexible housing; an electrolyte contained within the housing; an anode and cathode comprise a current collector and anode/cathode material supported on the current collector. The current collector comprising a fabric substrate () and an electron-conductive material (). The electron conductive material contains voids to enable penetration of the current collector by the electrolyte.
