Abstract
In recent years, wearable smart textiles with multifunctional properties have attracted great interest for use with a wide range of applications, including personal protection, sport, healthcare etc. In the present study, all-in-one multifunctional conductive hydrophobic coated cotton fabric with electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding, joule heating, and antibacterial properties was prepared via in-situ chemical oxidative polymerization. A graphene oxide (GO)–polyaniline (PANI)–silver (Ag) composite was coated onto the cotton fabric, exhibiting a low electrical resistance of 24.3 Ω sq−1 and strong hydrophobicity, with a water contact angle of ~ 139°. The high electrical conductivity of the composite coating resulted in excellent EMI shielding of ~ 52 dB in the X-band frequency region. Notably, the EMI shielding performance was tunable by simply changing the pH due to the acid- and alkali-sensitive nature of PANI. Furthermore, the fabricated conductive cotton fabric demonstrated excellent joule heating, achieving a temperature of 105.7 °C within 30 s at a voltage of 3.5 V. Additionally, in the presence of Ag, the cotton fabric exhibited excellent anti-bacterial properties against both Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus) and Gram-negative (Escherichia coli) bacteria.
期刊介绍:
Cellulose is an international journal devoted to the dissemination of research and scientific and technological progress in the field of cellulose and related naturally occurring polymers. The journal is concerned with the pure and applied science of cellulose and related materials, and also with the development of relevant new technologies. This includes the chemistry, biochemistry, physics and materials science of cellulose and its sources, including wood and other biomass resources, and their derivatives. Coverage extends to the conversion of these polymers and resources into manufactured goods, such as pulp, paper, textiles, and manufactured as well natural fibers, and to the chemistry of materials used in their processing. Cellulose publishes review articles, research papers, and technical notes.
