▎ 摘　　要

In this study, reduced graphene oxide (rGO) is produced from graphite by using the modified Hummers method. In order to understand the usage of rGO for smart textile applications, the cotton fabric is coated via the dip and dry method to see the effect of rGO coating, number of dip and dry cycles on the changes of thermal and electrical resistance of the fabric. Graphene oxide (GO) and rGO are characterized in terms of thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Raman, X-ray diffraction (XRD), dynamic light scattering (DLS), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). FT-IR spectra establish the effective reduction of graphene oxide to rGO which is further confirmed by Raman spectra with the reduced defect formation. SEM characterization illustrates the formation of stamp-like layers after the reduction. 30-60-90 coating cycles are performed on cotton fabric. According to TGA, the temperature at the maximum decomposition rate of cotton fabric (336 degrees C) shifts to 357 degrees C for the 90-cycle-coated sample. The electrical resistance of the cotton fabric decreases with the increase in the number of dip and dry cycles from 90 M omega to 8.18 k omega. As a result, coating cotton fabric with rGO without using a binder via dip and dry method seems to be a simple process to enhance the electrical conductivity and thermal stability of the cotton fabric.
