Research Interests:

Past research involved using human red cells incorporated into a polypyrrole polymer matrix to be the basis of a blood grouping biosensor.

Recently my research has been focused on:

  • the morphological, electrical and mechanical characterisation of these novel textiles, e.g. in developing a sensor for the Intelligent Knee Sleeve, a device that uses these novel fabric sensors as strain gauges to provide realtime audible feedback to users based on their knee motion.
  • medical textiles
  • combining textile technology with high force polypyrrole actuators.
  • biomaterials with the aim to improve the performance of future 'bionics', focusing on biodegradable polymers and controlled release.
