Gilbert De Mey was born in Gent, on August 22, 1947. He received the Master degree in electronics and the Master degree in telecommunications engineering from the University of Ghent, Ghent, Belgium, in 1970 and 1972, respectively. He received the Ph.D. degree with a study on the last topic in 1975.,Since 1971, he became a Research Assistant with the Laboratory of Electronics and Metrology. His research activities involved the study of the Hall effect in semiconductors layers. Later on, he was involved in modeling ion transport in dielectric layers.

Sensors and actuators made out of textile materials are the subjects of many research activities, especially because of the specific properties possessed by the textiles. In this context, yarns with a different Seebeck coefficient can be applied for making a textilebased thermopile. Preliminary experiments have shown that a pair
of nickel-coated carbon fibers (NiCF) and carbon fibers (CF) has a good Seebeck coefficient. In this paper, we study the influence of the concentration of the solution used to strip off the Ni from the NiCF. Experiments show that a mixture of 37% HCl and 10% H2O2 (1:1) result in the highest Seebeck coefficient.
