Abstract: The present invention is an apparatus and method of using the apparatus for separating individual particles from a collection of clumps (or bundles or aggregates) of particles. The apparatus has n number of separation columns, wherein each separation column is connected at an upper portion thereof to at least one fluid connection, and a particle collector. A pressurized fluid flows through the apparatus and 1) suspends a portion of the clumps within the separation column and/or the at least one fluid connection thereby separating at least some clumps into smaller clumps and/or individual particles; and 2) conveys a portion of the clumps and/or individual particles to the next separation column in the series of separation columns, or, in the case of the nth separation column conveys individual particles to the particle collector.

Abstract: Provided are sensors comprising one or both of MXene-coated fibers and MXene-coated yarns. The MXene-coated yarns can be utilized for various types of smart textile applications where conductivity is required. These include but are not limited to sensors (e.g. pressure, strain, moisture, and temperature), supercapacitors, triboelectric generators, antennas, and electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding textiles.
