▎ 摘  要

Conductive fabrics are central to smart textiles, a concept that has been gaining attention for applications such as wearable electronics or biosensors. However, current approaches for creating electrically conductive fabrics struggle with issues ranging from low conductivity to skin irritation. The use of graphitic carbon has been investigated as a possible way to impart conductivity to fabrics, yet low loadings, required post-infusion reductions, or the need to remove additives, has limited the application of these materials. In this paper, we introduce an approach that infuses fabric with pristine few layer graphene (FLG)/graphite from natural bulk graphite using an interfacial trapping method. No additives or chemical modification of the graphite is required, and electrical conductivities an order of magnitude higher than previous approaches are achieved. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd.
