| 16:50 | PANEL DISCUSSION Textile is starting to become intelligent. The revolution in the integration of electronics and textiles |
| 17:20 | CHAIRMAN’S CLOSING REMARKS AND END OF DAY ONE |
| 17:30 | COCKTAIL RECEPTION |
| 13 OCT 2023 | |
| 9:00 | REGISTRATION AND WELCOME COFFEE |
| 9:30 | OPENING ADDRESS FROM THE CHAIRMAN |
| 9:40 | THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN INK-JETTABLE COPPER-SILVER CORE SHELL CATALYST FOR THE SELECTIVE METALLISATION OF TEXTILES BY ELECTROLESS COPPER PLATING ◦ The development of a novel copper-silver core shell catalyst carried out as part of the H2020 MATUROLIFE project that aimed to produce novel assistive technology prototypes for older people incorporating E-Textiles ◦ The electroless copper deposit produced by the utilisation of the copper-silver core shell catalyst was characterised and compared to electroless copper deposits produced using a Ag nanoparticle catalyst and a commercial Pd catalyst ◦ It was found that the copper-silver core shell catalyst gave equivalent or better-quality coatings to those obtained when using a commercial Pd catalyst ◦ Subsequently, the copper-silver core shell catalyst was formulated into an ink and thermal-ink-jet printed followed by electroless copper plating |
| 10:20 | FUSION OF FABRIC AND MIND: EXPLORING THE POTEN- Case study TIAL AND CHALLENGES OF PRINTED NON-INVASIVE BRAIN-COMPUTER INTERFACES ◦ Why do you want textile brain-computer interfaces ◦ Theory of signal generation and measurement ◦ Current state of the art and implementations ◦ Conclusion and preview |
