Biography
Carla Hertleer received the M.Sc. degree in textile engineering and the Ph.D. degree in engineering (on the research topic of textile-based antennas) from Ghent University, Ghent, Belgium, in 1990 and 2009, respectively.,For three years, she worked in a vertically integrated textile company that produced terry cloth. She worked six years in a bank office but in June 2000, decided to return to her roots: textiles. Since then, she works as a Researcher at the Textile Department, Ghent University. S

Influence of Stripping Solution’s Concentration on the Seebeck Coefficient of Nickel-Coated Carbon Fibers
Author(s): Hardianto A, Hertleer C, De Mey G and Van Langenhove L
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.
