Smart Fever Case Study

A fever is a high temperature. Generally, a child with a temperature of over 37 degrees Celsius (99.5Farahait) is a fever. A new born to 18 months of age are easily susceptible to high fever. High temperature in babies can be a serious issue as they cannot regulate their own temperature like adults until they are around or about 24 months old. Therefore, they rely on their parents to do that for them. As adults, we never knew when fever is going to strike or how serious it is going to be, when it comes. Therefore, the solution for the problem above is the high temperature monitoring suits which is called “BABYGLOW SMART SUITS”. ‘Babyglow’ smart suits increase baby safety by monitoring their high temperature. ‘Babyglow’ have studied and developed …show more content…

These layers have distinct structurally and chemically.Both the primary and secondary wall have different degrees of crystallinity and molecular chain orientations. For example, the primary wall consists of 2.5% of the fibre weight, has a crystallinity index of 30% and is composed of cellulose. Meanwhile, the secondary wall consists of 91.5% of the fibre weight, has a 70% of crystallinity index and is composed of cellulose. The cuticle layers on the fibre itself are separable from the fibre and consist of wax, pectin materials, amorphous and contain 2.5% of the fibre weight. The innermost part of cotton fibre is the lumen. Lumen is composed of the remains of the cell contents which is protoplasmic …show more content…

The whole cotton fibre contains around 88% to 96.5% of cellulose, while the rest are non-cellulosic polysaccharides constituting up to 10% of the total fibre weight. Non-cellulosic polysaccharide consists of pectin, fats, waxes, proteins and natural colorants. The primary wall contains about 50% of cellulose while the secondary wall consists around 92% to 95% of cellulose. The secondary wall is built of concentric layers with alternate shaped twists. The layers consist of densely packed elementary fibrils, which organized into micro and macro fibrils. They are held together by strong hydrogen bonding. The physical properties of cotton fibre are; first its tensile strength. Cotton is a quite strong fibre. Second, cotton does not stress easily. It has an elongation break at 5 to 10 percent. Third, cotton is inelastic and also rigid fibre. Second polymer involve in ‘Babyglow’ products is thermochromics polymer. The term of thermochromics refers to materials which differ their colour intensity or transparency in response to temperature changes. Thermochromics can appear in thermoplastics, gels or any kind of coatings. The polymer itself, an embedded thermochromics additive or a high ordered structure built by the interaction of the polymer with an incorporated non-thermochromics additive can be the origin of the thermochromics
