Applications
Wearables.
Even warmth
in a flexible film.
On-body heating has to be gentle, even and safe at low voltage. Gii elements are grown on flexible substrates and heat uniformly with minimal thermal mass, so a patch or garment warms quickly without hot spots.
Where Gii is used
On-body heating built on Gii
Five wearable applications for a thin, conformable heating element.
Therapeutic Patches
Controlled localised warmth for pain relief and circulation, held at temperature by a low-voltage element.
Transdermal Delivery
Thermally assisted delivery patches where absorption depends on a stable, well-defined skin temperature.
Heated Garments
Clothing and gloves needing even heat across a large area without stiff wires or rigid pads.
Cold Weather Equipment
Outdoor and protective equipment that must keep working, and stay comfortable, in low temperatures.
Sensor Conditioning
Keeping on-body sensors at a stable temperature so readings do not drift with ambient conditions.
Why
.
Uniform heat from a flexible, conformable heating element
Low-voltage, fast response
High heating rates at low power make battery-driven on-body heating practical and controllable.
Flexible and thin
Grown on flexible film, so the element bends with the patch or garment and adds almost no bulk.
Pairs with printed power
The same material provides the battery electrode, so heater and power source share one process.
