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 dying process and from polyaniline–carbon nanotubes have been reported. In this presentation, we report a new e-textile that can be prepared as textiles that range from yarn to fabric; the new textile was produced with reduced GO (RGO) and was used to demonstrate the unique properties of RGO/nylon-6 textiles (RGO/NTs). RGO/NTs, including yarn and fabric, were obtained from GO wrapping via electrostatic self-assembly with bovine serum albumin (BSA), which serves as a universal adhesive for improving the adsorption of GO sheets onto a textile, followed by a low-temperature chemical reduction. This method has the advantage of being applicable to the present textile industry because BSA leads to GO being easily attached to textiles that are widely used at present, e.g., nylon, cotton, and polyester. Interestingly, RGO/NTs exhibit a high electrical conductivity (greater than 1000 S/m) that is maintained under severe conditions, such as a large number of repetitive bending cycles, low and high temperatures, and washing. |
