Applications in wearable and implantable electronic information products have increased in recent years, and traditional conductive materials have poor flexibility. To meet the trend of flexible, wearable and implantable electronic devices, flexible conductive materials are widely accepted. Here, we report on a method of preparing a flexible conductive textile material. The graphene is finished onto the surface of the silk fabric by multiple impregnation-reduction methods, and the silk fabric retains good flexibility while obtaining conductivity. Flexible conductive silk also has a good temperature and strain response, and its electrical resistance changes with temperature and strain. The obtained flexible conductive silk fabric has the advantages of both silk fabric and graphene, it has broad application prospects in wearable devices, health care monitoring, and human-machine interface.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
