This poster- "Graphene Textile Technology" provides a comprehensive overview of the integration of graphene into the textile industry, highlighting its status as a revolutionary "wonder material." It discusses the evolution of graphene-infused textiles, noting their enhanced performance attributes such as improved thermal and electrical conductivity. It details three generations of electronic textiles or "smart textiles," which have applications ranging from sports monitoring to medical uses, where sensors embedded in fabrics can track vital signs and environmental data.
It also outlines the global market insights for graphene, including a substantial projected growth from 2019 to 2026. It discusses both the environmental and health concerns related to graphene production and use, suggesting areas for improvement. The life cycle of graphene in the context of sustainability, from raw materials to disposal, is elaborated, emphasizing the potential for recycling and reuse to minimize environmental impact. This comprehensive approach showcases the multifaceted impacts of graphene on the textile industry and broader markets.

Cognitive Load Theory: Cognitive load theory (CLT) optimizes instructional outcomes by managing intrinsic, extraneous, and relational cognitive load in instructional design (Moreno & Park, 2010). Our design combines Cognitive Load Theory (CLT) with VR and real-world classroom design to provide students with an interactive learning environment.
Multimodal Learning: Data storytelling incorporates multimodal learning principles by leveraging various sensory modalities to enhance learning outcomes. Skilled data storytellers use visual aids like graphs and charts to effectively convey complex information and cater to different learning styles, facilitating deeper understanding through multiple channels of information processing.
