Textile-based electrochemical sensors
- airstrike 2y agoThat was an interesting read. I also particularly commend you for sharing a real project, with its limitations, lessons learned and ultimate failure—it feels refreshing to read something where the final step wasn't some revolutionary panacea
- A4ET8a8uTh0 2y agoAgreed. I am nowhere near that space, but I found it more interesting than I anticipated. If there ever was a submission that encapsulates HN purpose, this may be it.
- medhir 2y agothanks! I definitely hesitated sharing for a while due to that failure. Glad to hear you found it interesting.
- airstrike 2y agoI think it truly shows great character and, as the sibling comment noted, it encapsulates what makes HN special to some of us
- tithe 2y ago> ...a wearable sensor that could be used non-invasively to detect various small molecules in fluids such as sweat. How do you think the LIG and elastomeric polymer blend would have held up in a washing machine / dryer?
- medhir 2y agowithout running tests it’s hard to say. my educated guess is it would hold up better than LIG on its own… LIG didn’t really hold up even outside of a washing machine. generally speaking not many of these materials are designed to withstand repeated wash / dry cycles. I imagined the sensor component to be replaceable, similar to glucose test strips.
