Advanced Polymer Materials with Tunable Micro and Macroporosity Based on Poly (2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene) Oxide: Structural Features Properties and Applications

In-Field Gait and Jump Analysis in Football Players with Wearable IMUS: A Real-World Validation Study

Wearable technologies are increasingly used in sports science to monitor performance, assess fatigue, and support injury prevention through real-time, in-field data collection. Among these, Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs) offer a portable alternative to laboratory-based systems. The present work proposes an in-field method for jump and gait analysis using IMUs, specifically the Muse 221e and Xsens systems, in a football setting. Data were collected from four under-18 players from Club Milan...

Hydrogen Sensing with Graphene-Wo3Pt: AC/DC Measurements and Admittance Spectroscopy

This study investigates a hydrogen sensor based on platinum and graphene-enriched tungsten oxide, synthesized via impregnation and deposited as a chemoresistor. The sensor was evaluated using both DC and AC impedance spectroscopy at 200 ℃. DC measurements showed a linear, reversible response to hydrogen (2500–25000 ppm), demonstrating sensitivity. The combined DC and AC approach yields multiple parameters correlated with a specific analyte, suggesting a pathway for improved discrimi...

High-Linearity, Low-Hysteresis and Thermally-Stable MWCNT/Elastomer Characterization: Potential for Gait Parameter Estimation

This work proposes the integration of Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes (MWCNTs) into a urethane resin comprising polycarbonate (PC) and polytetramethylene ether glycol (PTMG) to develop sensors for smart clothing and textiles. Nowadays, flexible sensors are becoming interesting for both healthcare and sports because of ease of use and user comfort. Current solutions consisted of bulky and heavy devices that create discomfort for patients and athletes, such as Inertial Measurment Units (IMUs) and...
