Biography
Lieva Van Langenhove received the degree in textile engineering from Ghent University, Ghent, Belgium, in 1984, and the Ph.D. degree in yarn modeling from the Textile Department, Ghent University, in 1994.,She began her career at the Research Department, UCO, a Belgian textile company. Five years later, she joined the Textile Department, Ghent University, where she became a Professor in 1997. Her main field of expertise is the mechanics of fiber structures. In 2000, she began researching smart textiles, initially for medical applications.

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.
