Abstract

The ability to maintain body temperature has been shown to bring about improvementsin sporting performance. However, current solutions are limited with regards to flexibility, heatinguniformity and robustness. An innovative screen-printed Nanocarbon heater is demonstrated whichis robust to bending,...
