Abstract: A method for the manufacturing of platinum nanostructures showing improved properties and usable in biomedical appliances is provided. The method includes providing a solution containing hexachloroplatinate with the remainder being water and electrochemical deposition of platinum on a substrate with the platinum deposited in a nanostructured form.

Abstract: The following invention discloses a type of electronic circuits that is realized directly on textile. The circuit has opto-electronic functions that are realized with a number of components integrated into the textile. These components comprise electronically and/or optically active material, that are supported by fabric elements. The components furthermore include an electrolyte. The components have lest two separated structures of an active material, and the electrolyte is in direct contact with the two separated active structures in that component. The separated structures can control their electrical and optical character through the electrolyte. These types of devices are very suitable for implementation in textile, since they are quite insensitive to the spacing between the separated active structures.
