▎ 摘  要

This study presents the fabrication of woven aramid fabric (AF) with integrated properties, especially with improved surface activity, UV resistance, electrical conductivity and thermal properties. A biomimicry surface functionalization with polydopamine (PDA) and a further modification by graphene oxide (GO) coating of the AF was demonstrated. The surface properties of AF were changed by repeated reduce graphene oxide (rGO) coating process. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) results showed that the rGO sheets were successfully formed on the surface of AF, and the deposition of GO/rGO was proven by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The electrical conductivity was ascertained by the electrical surface resistance value of the AF. A low surface resistance value of 6.43 Kcm(-1) was obtained after five times of modification, resulting in an excellent conductivity. The ultraviolet protection factor (UPF) value of the modified AF increased to 73 in comparison to 37 for the original AF.
