'Chainmail' fabric uses shape-shifting technology
A
new type of shape-shifting technology modeled on ancient chainmail armor has been
developed by scientists at Singapore's Nanyang Technological University and the
California Institute of Technology in the U.S., as reported by the two universities.
Described by the researchers as a type of " wearable structured fabric, " the material quickly
changes from flexible to stiff due to carefully arranged interlocking particles. The team
set out to develop a fabric that can easily transition from soft and foldable to rigid and load
bearing by first investigating how structured but
hollow particles could be interlocked to form
a fabric with stiffness that could be altered on
command. " We used plastic hollow particles that
are interlocked to enhance our tunable fabric's
stiffness, " says study author assistant professor
Wang Yifan. " To further increase the material's
stiffness and strength, we are now working on
fabrics made from metals including aluminum,
which could be used for larger-scale industrial
applications requiring higher load capacity,
such as bridges or buildings. " Photo: Nanyang

Wound dressing made from tropoelastin
C
ustomized, biomedically applicable materials based on tropoelastin, a
human protein, are being developed in Halle, Germany, in a joint project
by Skinomics GmbH, Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg and the
Fraunhofer Institute for Microstructure of Materials and Systems. The material
combines biocompatibility, durability, biodegradability and favorable mechanical
properties similar to those of skin. Preclinical tests have confirmed that it
is suitable as a wound dressing material used in the treatment of chronic
and complex wounds, such as venous ulcers, leg ulcers or foot ulcers. The
researchers succeeded in developing a biotechnological process for modifying
tropoelastin, which was processed in an electrospinning procedure to produce
ultrathin nanofibers. The resulting nonwovens were further crosslinked to
stabilize them for the respective application. Photo: © Fraunhofer Institute for
