“…In the other research, polyethylene imine was used to pretreating the cotton yarn to enhance the affinity of CNT for the yarn by Zhang et al in 2012. Cause of density variation of SWCNT, obtained yarn can be used as chemiresistors, which demonstrate electrical response to ammonia gas at room A melt extrusion method was used by Lin et al in 2016 to coat polyester yarns with polypropylene and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT). They concluded that, 8 wt% MWCNT result in electrical conductivity of 0.8862 S/cm.…”

“…They concluded that, 8 wt% MWCNT result in electrical conductivity of 0.8862 S/cm. Processing technologies can prepare PP/MWCNTs-coated PET conductive yarns that have satisfactory electrical conductivity, and can be used in functional woven and knitted fabrics, wearable electronics and battery-heated armor ( Figure 7) (Lin et al, 2016).…”

“…From the results, it can be concluded that, in the most researches related to electrical conductivity of fabrics, MWCNT were used. By these methods, conductive yarns and fabrics that have satisfactory electrical conductivity were prepared which can be used in electric and electronic equipment industry (Bautista-Quijano, Pötschke, Brünig, & Heinrich, 2016;Cai, Xu, Yang, Tang, & Wang, 2017;Ding et al, 2014;Kowalczyk et al, 2015;Lin et al, 2016;Makowski et al, 2016;Motaghi & Shahidi, 2015;Nafeie et al, 2016;Pasta, Hu, La Mantia, & Cui, 2012;Tran et al, 2016;Zhang, Deng et al, 2012). Also weight concentration of used CNT is a very important factor.…”

One of the major components of nanotechnology is Carbon nanotube (CNT) that can have a lengthto-diameter ratio more than 1,000,000. They are used in several fields in material science, due to their exceptional electrical, mechanical, and thermal properties, which are anisotropic. Different techniques have been developed to produce CNT. They have good potential for applications in various technological areas such as nanoelectronic, biotechnology, material science, polymer, composite, and textile industries. In this paper, recent researches on application of CNT in textile industry are reviewed. Treatment of textiles with CNT leads to the production of a wide variety of conductive textiles with different electrical properties. The wear performances of fabrics apply with CNT to open the potentiality of producing composite materials for conventional and innovative applications, ranging from conventional apparel and sportswear to protective clothing, heating equipment, automotive textiles, building covering, geo-textiles, biomedical textiles, etc.

“…They combine some of the mechanical features of polymers with the electrical properties typical for metals [ 16 , 17 ]. They can be used to coat yarn surfaces or textile substrates by in situ polymerization [ 18 ], coating core yarns with a conductive Sheath [ 19 ], electrochemical deposition [ 20 ], and chemical vapor deposition [ 14 , 21 ]. Printing technologies can also be used to print conductive materials onto textile substrates using printing technologies such as screen printing, rotary printing, and inkjet printing [ 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 ].…”

Long-term monitoring of the electrical activity of the heart helps to detect the presence of potential dysfunctions, enabling the diagnosis of a wide range of cardiac pathologies. However, standard electrodes used for electrocardiogram (ECG) acquisition are not fully integrated into garments, and generally need to be used with a gel to improve contact resistance. This article is focused on the development of washable screen-printed cotton, with and without Lycra, textile electrodes providing a medical quality ECG signal to be used for long-term electrocardiography measurements. Several samples with different Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) concentrations were investigated. Silver-plated knitted fabric electrodes were also used for comparison, within the same process of ECG signal recording. The acquisition of ECG signals carried out by a portable medical device and a low-coast Arduino-based device on one female subject in a sitting position. Three textile electrodes were placed on the right and left forearms and a ground electrode was placed on the right ankle of a healthy female subject. Plastic clamps were applied to maintain electrodes on the skin. The results obtained with PEDOT:PSS used for electrodes fabrication have been presented, considering the optimal concentration required for medical ECG quality and capacity to sustain up to 50 washing cycles. All the ECG signals acquired and recorded, using PEDOT:PSS and silver-plated electrodes, have been reviewed by a cardiologist in order to validate their quality required for accurate diagnosis.

“…[6][7][8][9] Reducing these negative effects is difficult due to the CNT's complicated synthesis conditions, hydrophobicity, large aspect ratio etc., making it problematic to create homogenous dispersions in which one can align or modify individual tubes using various methods. [10][11][12][13] Fabricating CNT bers with high conductivities has been studied extensively by many researchers due to the ease of effectively eliminating those drawbacks in ber forms [14][15][16][17][18][19] compared to CNT lms. [20][21][22][23] Different ways to spin CNT bers include from solution, 24 arrays, 18 aerogels, 8 and rolling CNT lms.…”
