This book presents an innovative methodology to fabricate nanostructured piezoelectric composite fibers with wearable technologies application as an energy generator and/or sensors. It reports on methods of piezoelectric fiber formation and development of novel textile structures (weave, knit, braid, coil) with embedded electrodes. The flexibility and small diameter of the final fiber make it possible to use them in garment without affecting structure of comfort. The performance of the fiber generators was evaluated through different applications such as air and water sensor, health and movement monitoring, and energy generator. The book targets a wide readership including materials scientists, electrical engineering, soft robotics, Internet of things, electronic textiles, and wearable technology.
This detailed volume presents a series of protocols that are representative of recent developments and improvements in induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS cells) and corresponding human disease models. Reflecting the latest technology for generating induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS cells) and their initial characterization, the book explores techniques invaluable both for studies of disease-specific cell types and for their potential applications in regenerative medicine. Written for the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, chapters include introduction to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step and readily reproducible laboratory protocols, as well as tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.
