Description

Touchable Functional Gloves {Glove for touch screen}

Functional apparel

Carbon Nanotube Spray Processing, Plasma Processing

Heat is applied to the lowest energy solids in a material, and when the temperature rises, it becomes a liquid, and when thermal energy is applied again, it causes a transition to gas. As the gas continues to receive more energy, ionized particles are produced that are different from the state transitions, where the total charges of the cations and anions are about the same. This electrically neutral state is called plasma. It is composed of free electrons, ions and radical UV particles according to the plasma, and the plasma particles are etched on the surface of the grind at a nano scale to modify the functional properties of the fabric. Plasma processing allows modification of the surface properties of fibers and the addition of chemicals to impart functionality.

The touch screen of the smartphone is coated with transparent conductive metal on both sides of the glass to apply a voltage across the four corners of the screen to spread the high frequency across the surface of the touch screen. The method is used.

Therefore, in the winter when using a lot of gloves, the inconvenience of having to remove the gloves every time you use a smartphone, the present invention is to solve this problem.

Carbon nanotube spray coating and plasma coating to coat the inner and outer skin of gloves

Existing gloves for the use of touch phones are conductive gloves, which are limited to knitted gloves, button-type gloves, removable gloves, thimble gloves, and open gloves that can open and close fingers. These existing inventions reveal a limitation that it is difficult to popularize for general smartphone users because they use professional high-performance materials.

Therefore, the present invention can meet the needs and aesthetics of 20-40 generations that are the main users of smartphones using a material coated with a conductive material.

Figure 1 is a zero coating of the inner and outer shells of the touch screen gloves with a carbon nanotube spray. 2 shows a cross section of a glove.

The present invention is to process the carbon nanotubes (CNT) with excellent electrical conductivity in the form of a spray, coating the polymer on leather leather to produce a leather glove that can be used in the touch pad. Carbon nanotubes (CNT) have a theoretical electrical conductivity that is superior to that of metals, and have excellent mechanical properties such as high elasticity. Therefore, carbon nanotubes were coated on the inner and outer skins of the leather gloves to enable electrical conduction so that the touch type smart phone could be operated without removing the gloves.

Carbon nano polymers satisfy the conductivity required to operate capacitive touch pads, and are believed to be popular because they can be supplied at low cost through the development of recent mass synthesis methods. Particularly, in this study, plasma functionalization treatment was performed and the conductive layer was formed uniformly on the leather by spray injection method.

Heat is applied to the lowest energy solids in a material, and when the temperature rises, it becomes a liquid, and when thermal energy is applied again, it causes a transition to gas. As the gas continues to receive more energy, ionized particles are produced that are different from the state transitions, where the total charges of the cations and anions are about the same. This electrically neutral state is called plasma. It is composed of free electrons, ions and radical UV particles according to the plasma, and the plasma particles are etched on the surface of the grind at a nano scale to modify the functional properties of the fabric. Plasma processing allows modification of the surface properties of fibers and the addition of chemicals to impart functionality. In order to induce plasma ionization for fiber processing, there are various methods such as glow discharge, corona discharge, and dielectric barrier discharge. Glow discharge is an electric conduction phenomenon in low pressure gas, which occurs when the electric field is above a certain value, and is accompanied by light emission, but no heat generation or evaporation of the electrode. Corona discharge is a vibrating phenomenon as the gas particles on the electrode surface ionize. Such discharges are more likely to occur at higher operating voltages. However, in principle, the surface of the conductor is rough, so that a potential distribution is not even, and thus a high voltage is not likely to occur. Corona discharges generate electromagnetic waves and cause radio interference.

Dielectric barrier discharge is to install a dielectric layer on one or both electrodes. Dielectrics are important for imparting proper function of discharge. When ionization occurs at a location between the discharge electrodes, the transferred charges accumulate in the dielectric. The electric fields resulting from these charges reduce the electric field between the electrodes and after several nanoseconds the current flow is interrupted. Low temperature plasma technology has been applied to industrial applications, such as fabrication of the fabric, imparting functionality, modifying the surface properties of the textile material.

Plasma Treatment Principle The material is heated to the lowest energy state, and becomes liquid when the temperature rises. When thermal energy is applied again, it transitions to gas.

Plasma processing allows modification of the surface properties of fibers and the addition of chemicals to impart functionality.

Low temperature plasma technology has been applied to industrial applications, such as fabrication of the fabric, imparting functionality, modifying the surface properties of the textile material.

Effect of Plasma Processing: Hydrophobic processing, in which the fabric is plasma treated using hexamethyldisiloxane, increases the contact angle with moisture to soften the surface of the fabric. Plasma treatment also improves dye affinity and chemical coating adsorbability to the material.

Only surface treatment is possible and optimized without changing the material's inherent properties. In addition, it is an environmentally friendly process that does not generate harmful substances, and it is possible to process various grains to meet the needs of customers when producing products.
