About

Zahra Sepasi is a rising innovator in the field of smart textiles and advanced functional materials, with a primary focus on piezoelectric polymers and electrospinning technologies. Her most-cited work, "Wash‐stable electrospun piezopolymer textiles" (2024), introduces a breakthrough approach to creating durable, intelligent fabrics that integrate piezoelectric properties directly into yarn structures. This research addresses a critical challenge in wearable technology: maintaining functionality after repeated washing. By developing wash-stable piezoelectric textiles, Sepasi enables fabrics that can sense mechanical deformation or generate electrical signals without relying on attached electronics. Her work bridges materials science and textile engineering, offering scalable solutions for self-powered sensors, energy harvesting garments, and responsive actuation systems. Though early in her career, her contributions are already shaping the next generation of truly "smart" clothing—fabrics that are not just worn, but actively interact with their environment. Sepasi’s research holds promise for applications in healthcare monitoring, sports performance, and human-machine interfaces, positioning her as a key emerging voice in sustainable, functional textile design.
