The University of Surrey has created a flexible and stretchy supercapacitor “that can be easily integrated into footwear, clothing, and accessories”, it said. Building one involves transferring aligned carbon nanotube arrays from a silicon wafer to a PDMS (polydimethylsiloxane) matrix in which they are partly embedded for robustness. This is then electro-coated with polyaniline to improve ...
