A Novel Method for Applying Reduced Graphene Oxide Directly to Electronic Textiles from Yarns to Fabrics

摘要

Wearable electronic devices, such as e-textiles, are of great interest due to their potential applications in portable electronic devices, in multifunctional fabrics, including healthcare units and wearable displays, and even in warfare. To satisfy commercial demands, an e-textile must be conductive as well as strong, highly elastic, mechanically flexible, wearable, and lightweight. Carbon-based materials are good candidates and are highly interesting because they satisfy these required characteristics. Highly conductive carbon nanotube (CNT) textiles obtained from the dyeing process and from polyaniline-carbon nanotubes have been reported.
