NTU Advanced Textiles

Kalana Marasinghe, Research Fellow in Electronic Yarns, is currently attending the innoLAE 2025 conference in Cambridge (UK). Later today he will present his work on ‘Approaches toward the manufacturing of electronic textiles created using electronic yarns.’

Members of the Advanced Textiles Research Group have recently presented work in Berlin (Germany) at the ‘6th International Conference on the Challenges, Opportunities, Innovations and Applications in Electronic Textiles (E-textiles 2024)’. The team included Thelge Peiris, Parvin Ebrahimi, Malindu Ehelagasthenna, and Theo Hughes-Riley. A highlight of the conference was Mrs Peiris winning the best student poster award for her work entitled “Development and Optimization of Textile-Based Optical Sensors for Cardiac Health Monitoring”.

The ATRG and other staff in the Nottingham School of Art and Design have published a new research article exploring approaches to evaluate and improve the sustainability of E-textiles. The article, 'Exploring Sustainable Approaches for Electronic Textile Products and Prototypes', details an examination of three commercial products as well as a prototype created using E-yarn technology.
