Definitions
- a FILAMENT OR FIBRE This invention relates to a filament or fibre, especially one that is suitable for inclusion in a fabric or garment, with the aim of producing changes in one or more of the properties of the garment or fabric.
- a filament or fibre in which the dimensions of the filament or fibre can be controllably and reversibly altered in response to an actuator. It is a further object of the present invention to provide a filament or fibre in which a relatively large strain can be induced in the filament or fibre.
- a filament or fibre comprising a liquid crystalline elastomer, and an actuator for enabling actuation of the filament or fibre to thereby cause a change in a dimension of the filament or fibre.
- actuation of the filament or fibre results in a change in the axial, or linear dimension of the filament or fibre.
- Such a change in linear dimension when expressed as a ratio of the original linear dimension is known as linear strain.
- Liquid crystalline elastomer comprises a functional long chain elastomer, a plurality of mesogenic side chains, and a crosslinker.
- the mesogen forming the mesogenic side chains is a liquid crystal active group.
- the crosslinker cross links long-chain elastomers to one another and may be liquid crystal active. It is known that liquid crystals have an isotropic phase boundary which separates the isotropic phase from the liquid crystal phase. Due to the nature of liquid crystal elastomers, particularly due to the coupling of the liquid crystal ordering, and the conformation of the long-chain elastomer, the length of the elastomer decreases when the liquid crystal passes the isotropic phase boundary from the liquid phase.
- LSCE liquid single-crystal elastomers
- the liquid crystal isotropic phase transition is generally induced by temperature, which value can be tuned depending on the type of mesogenic side-chains, the type of crosslinker as well as by the concentration ratio of these two compounds. This allows a large range of transition temperatures, from room temperature or below, up to temperatures larger than 100°C. For example, when 4'-methoxyphenyl-4-(1 -buteneoxy) bezoate is used as the mesogenic side-chain, the nematic (or smectic) to isotropic phase transition temperature can be lowered by over 25 degrees C by changing the buteneoxy group to an etheneoxy group.
- the actuator comprises an electrode extending axially along the fibre or filament.
- the electrode is elastic. This allows the electrode to expand and contract as the fibre expands and contracts on actuation.
- the elastic electrode may be, for example, corrugated.
- the electrode comprises chromium-gold.
- a chromium-gold film having a thickness of between 5 and 100 nm may be deposited by electron beam evaporation onto the fibre or filament in order to form a compliant electrode.
- Such an electrode can remain conductive up to strains of more than 20%.
- Such a film can be homogeneously applied to the filament or fibre.
- the electrode comprises a spiralled wire extending at least partially along the length of the fibre or filament.
- the electrode may extend substantially along an outer surface of the filament or fibre.
- the electrode may extend within the fibre or filament.
- the actuator comprises a conducting species.
- the conducting species may be, for example, carbon fibres or conducting polymers.
- Actuators of the type described hereinabove may be used to create ohmic heating in a fibre or filament.
- the liquid crystalline elastomer is one in which the isotropic phase change is induced by temperature.
- the liquid crystalline elastomer may comprise an elastomer backbone comprising poly(methylhydrogensiloxane), a side chain mesogen comprising
- the actuator comprises first and second electrodes, each of which are separate from one another.
- Such an electrode arrangement may be used to apply an electric field across the fibre and therefore enable the fibre to be electrically addressed.
- the liquid crystalline elastomer is one in which the state of the liquid crystalline phase (e.g. a smectic) is changed by the application of an electric field.
- each of the first and second electrodes extend substantially along an outer surface of the filament or fibre.
- the first electrode extends substantially along an outer surface of the filament or fibre, and the second electrode extends within the filament or fibre.
- both the first and second electrodes may extend within the filament or fibre.
- the first and second electrodes each comprise finger electrodes. Such an arrangement may be used to induce electrical fields along the length direction of the fibre.
- each of the first and second electrodes is elastic.
- at least one of the first and second electrodes is corrugated.
- the first and second electrodes comprises chromium-gold.
- One or both of the first and second electrodes may be formed from a chromium-gold film having a thickness of between 5 and 100 nm. Such electrodes can remain conductive for strains of more than 20%.
- Such a film can be homogeneously applied to the filament or fibre.
- the liquid crystalline elastomer comprises a ferro-electric liquid crystal elastomer, preferably a liquid single crystal elastomer. In such a material, the phase transformation and hence actuation of the material is induced by the application of an electric field.
- Very large lateral electrostriction may be achieved using ferro-electric liquid crystalline elastomers, preferably ferro-electric liquid single-crystalline elastomers.
- the phase transformation of such a liquid crystal elastomer may be induced by an application of an electrical field of the order of 1V/micron.
- the actuator comprises azo groups incorporated into the mesogenic side-chains.
- the incorporation of azo groups in the mesogenic side-chains enables radiation to be used to induce a trans-to-cis-photoisomerisation reaction in which the cis-isomer has a kinked non-mesogenic shape. This means that radiation of the filament or fibre leads to an expansion of the filament or fibre.
- Such a fibre is formed from a liquid crystalline elastomer in which the isotropic phase change is induced by radiation, by incorporating light sensitive mesogenic sidegroups, for example [4-(4-buteneoxy)-4'- methyloxyjazobenzene and/or light sensitive mesogenic crosslinking agents like for example di-[4-(1 1 -undeceneoxy)]azobenzene.
- light sensitive mesogenic sidegroups for example [4-(4-buteneoxy)-4'- methyloxyjazobenzene and/or light sensitive mesogenic crosslinking agents like for example di-[4-(1 1 -undeceneoxy)]azobenzene.
- Figure 1 shows a basic structure of a liquid crystal elastomer forming part of a filament or fibre according to the present invention
- Figure 2 is a graphical representation showing strain in a filament or fibre according to the present invention as a function of the normalised temperature T/TN-I, where T N-l is the liquid crystal nematic to isotropic transition temperature
- Figures 3a to 3h are schematic representations of a filament or fibre according to the present invention formed from liquid crystalline elastomer in which the isotropic phase change is induced by temperature
- Figures 4a, 4b and 4c are schematic representations of a second embodiment of the present invention in which the filament or fibre is formed from a liquid crystalline elastomer in which the isotropic phase change is induced by application of an electric field
- Figure 5 is a schematic representation of a third embodiment of the present invention in which the filament or fibre is formed from a liquid crystalline elastomer containing azo groups
- LCE suitable for forming a filament or fibre according to the present invention
- the LCE comprises a functional long chain elastomer 4, for example, PDMS, a mesogenic side-chain 6 and a crosslinker 8.
- Mesogen is a liquid crystal active group, and the crosslinker crosslinks one long chain elastomer 4 to a second long chain elastomer 4.
- strain expressed as the length of the fibre normalised to its length at low temperatures, as a function of the normalised temperature T/TN-I, where TN-I is a liquid crystal to isotropic transition temperature, is shown.
- the liquid crystal phase may be nematic, smetic or cholesteric, depending on the liquid crystal material.
- Figures 3a to 3h is configured to cause heating of the fibre 10.
- the fibre 10 comprises a liquid crystalline elastomer 12 which is responsible for the change in the dimensions of the fibre, and an actuator.
- the actuator is in the form of a corrugated electrode 14. Because the electrode is corrugated it is able to stretch axially as the length of the fibre 10 increases on heating. The electrode may extend either partially or completely along the length of the fibre 10.
- the actuator is in the form of an electrode 16 which is formed from a compliant or elastic material in order to enable the electrode to stretch with stretching of the fibre 10.
- the actuator is in the form of an electrode 18 also made of a compliant or elastic material and extending within the fibre 10.
- the electrodes 14, 16, 18 may be formed from any suitable material, for example, a chromium-gold alloy.
- the fibre 10 is shown incorporating a conducting species 20 in the form of, for example, carbon fibres or conducting polymers.
- the actuator is in the form of a spiralled wire which may extend partially or entirely along the length of the fibre 10.
- Figures 3f and 3g show a fibre according to the present invention interwoven with one or more conducting wires 24.
- the conducting wires 24 may be metallic, conducting organic etc. A heating effect on the fibre may be created by means of the conducting wires 24.
- the fibre 10 is shown with spiral conducting electrode 26 extending within the fibre 10.
- FIGs 4a and 4b a fibre 28 according to another embodiment of the invention is shown.
- the fibre 28 comprises separated top and bottom compliant electrodes 30.
- the fibre 28 comprises two sets of finger electrodes 32, 34.
- the embodiment shown in Figure 4a can also be combined with the embodiment shown in Figures 3a, 3b or 3c.
- the embodiment shown in Figure 4a will create an electric field that is perpendicular to the length of the fibre. This means that the fibre will broaden on application of the electric field, leading to a decrease in the length of the fibre upon applying an electric field.
- the electrode layout defined by electrodes 32, 34 is used to induce electric fields in the length direction of the fibre.
- the field direction alternates as indicated by arrows 36. This means that the fibre 28 will lengthen upon application of an electric field, leading to a corresponding decrease in the width of the fibre.
- Figure 5 a further embodiment of a fibre according to the present invention is designated generally by the reference numeral 38.
- the fibre 38 comprises azo groups within the liquid crystalline elastomer.
- a fibre may be exposed to radiation 40 which radiation causes strain in the fibre.
- Typical wavelength for the cisatrans conformation change is 365 nm, whereas the process can be reversed by irradiation with UV radiation of typically 465 nm.
- irradiation times may vary from seconds to minutes, depending on the exact materials used.
- the textile 42 is formed from conventional textile yarns at least some of which are formed from an elastic material 44, and conductive fibres 46.
- the fibres formed from elastic material comprise, at least partially, fibres according to the present invention.
- Such fibres will lengthen and shorten in a response to one of the stimuli mentioned hereinabove, such as temperature, electrical field, radiation, electrical current. This leads to a change in the electrical conductance of the fabric.
- the thermally insulating property of textiles depends on various properties, one of which is the amount of air trapped inside the textile structure.
- Textiles can consist of stacked and interconnected layers.
- textiles can be formed from a warp interlockor open course structures.
- a textile may have a three-dimensional orthogonal weave structure.
- a three-dimensional orthogonal weave structure typically comprises first, second and third fibres, all of which are mutually orthogonal to one another.
- Fibres which are perpendicular on the warp and weft are formed from a liquid crystal elastomer according to the present invention.
- the liquid crystal elastomer forming the third fibres has length which is determined by temperature. High temperatures will lead to a contraction of the third fibres. This leads to the layers in the weave structure being pushed towards each other. This in turn results in less air being trapped within the textile which means that the thermal insulation of the textile will decrease. When the temperature drops, the length of the third fibres will increase which will allow the stacked layers to expand. This will lead to more air being trapped within the weave structure which in turn, will lead to an increase in the thermal insulation.
- a textile of this type can be used in many different ways.
- the textile could be used to form a bra, the degree of support provided by the bra being variable.
- the drape of garments is important in determining the characteristic appearance of the garment.
- the drape of garments is affected by many different parameters that are related to the mechanical and physical properties of the fibre and yarn used to make the garment.
- the drape is affected by the arrangement of the yarns, i.e., whether the yarns are knitted and/or woven and/or braided etc, and the interaction of the garment with the body of the person wearing the garment.
- the heartbeat of the person is measured.
- the pressure at which two sub-beats forming the complete heartbeat are detectable corresponds to the systolic blood pressure.
- the pressure at which only one sub-beat is detectable corresponds to the diastolic pressure.
- Measurement can be automated so that a medical doctor is not required and people can measure their blood pressure themselves at home.
- known devices are relatively bulky, and the cuff has to be accurately attached to the arm.
- a textile blood pressure measuring device can be used to measure blood pressure.
- a garment according to an embodiment of the present invention is designated generally by the reference numeral 60.
- the garment is in the form of a shirt or jacket or the like, and comprises a textile cuff 62 formed from filaments or fibres according to the present invention and therefore having a variable electrical insulating property. This means that the resistance of the cuff 62 will vary with the strain in the cuff.
- Figure 8 shows graphically the relationship between the resistance of the cuff 62 and the strain in the cuff for two different liquid crystalline elastomers.
- Dotted line I shows the relationship between resistance of strain where the resistance decreases with increasing strain.
- Solid line II shows the relationship between resistance and strain in a situation where resistance increases with increasing strain.
- the strain in the material forming the cuff 62 is induced by an external stimulus as described hereinabove and most preferably is induced through application of an electrical current or an electrical field.
- the liquid crystalline elastomer forming the fibres forming the cuff 62 is chosen so that strain induced in the cuff 62 leads to a contraction of the cuff.
- the contraction of the cuff can be correlated to a contraction force F which in turn corresponds to a certain pressure P.
- the cuff is first contracted to such an extent that no fluctuations in resistance are measured. At this stage the cuff pressure is larger than the systolic pressure and is shown in Figure 10a. At several stages during the subsequent relaxation of the cuff, the strain is kept constant for some time and the resistance of the cuff is measured as a function of time.
- the measured resistance signal is maximum as shown in Figure 10c.
- the corresponding pressure F1/A is referred to as the average blood pressure.
- the signal disappears as shown in Figure 10d. This implies that, at that moment, the cuff pressure F0/A equals the diastolic pressure Pd.
- the garment 60 will further comprise electronic control units (not shown) that can address the liquid crystalline elastomer forming the fibres forming the cuff 62, and that can measure the time dependent cuff resistance.
- control units will calculate pressures from the measured time dependent resistances by applying predetermined calibration curves. Finally the control units will measure the lengths of time from which beat frequencies are calculated.
