neodisc - silicone rubber core -replaces a spinal disc -better than a bone graft because there is no pain from area which bone was taken from and movement is normal
Neodisc is protected and held in place by a woven polyester jacket - body wants to repel the polyester, tries to degrade it but can't - so forms tissue around it. Becomes integrated into the body - acetate is used as backing when the shape is embroidered - dissolved in acetone after use

QTC - tiny embedded metal particles give a wast range of resistance - if pressed, electrons can jump between the particles
Sound, Light, Smell, Heat and Moisture can all affect it

Soft switches - buttons made of fabric and QTC - used by NASA and Nike as well as other brands who want to integrate electronics with fabric
The possibilities are endless - many things can be done with QTC
