3D microwire DoD Problem: Soldiers operating for prolonged periods in uncontrolled environments can face microbial threats, hazardous radiation, hygiene issues and limited supplies of electricity for powering equipment. Solution: Development of advanced UV-radiation and microbial protective self-cleansing fabric with integrated, flexible dye-sensitized solar cells for instant power generation capability. 1) Biocompatible nanoparticle-impregnated fabric was prepared that showed marked anti-microbial and self-cleansing properties; (2) the fabric showed good stability over time and surface morphology thorough incorporation of the metallic nanoparticles; (3) TiO2 coated carbon nanoyarn for use in fabric-integrated with 3D power cells has been developed and characterized.
