We also had a lot of fun testing these at the RMIT #FLAMME Lab - showing how these work for next-generation PPE for first responders.

Some more #energyharvesting with #triboelectric polymers.

Seeing how they convert motion to electricity from high frequency vibrations.

We're working on some new materials that generate huge amounts of internal #staticelectricity ⚡.

These operate on a similar priciple to our laminates (doi.org/10.1002/smll...) - but we're seeing over 10x higher current and charge outputs - from much thinner material🗑️🔋!

Stay tuned 👀
