“…Other integration techniques like plating, transfer printing, inkjet printing, solution and electrospinning of carbon-based conductive materials could also provide a textile material with better conductivity and bulk property. For instance, Zhu et al single-walled carbon nanotubes to fabricate machine-washable conductive textiles via dip-coating and spray coating [74]. The developed conductive textiles exhibit a high electrical conductivity of up to 7.…”

In the last three decades, the development of new kinds of textiles, so-called smart and interactive textiles, has continued unabated. Smart textile materials and their applications are set to drastically boom as the demand for these textiles has been increasing by the emergence of new fibers, new fabrics, and innovative processing technologies. Moreover, people are eagerly demanding washable, flexible, lightweight, and robust e-textiles. These features depend on the properties of the starting material, the post-treatment, and the integration techniques. In this work, a comprehensive review has been conducted on the integration techniques of conductive materials in and onto a textile structure. The review showed that an e-textile can be developed by applying a conductive component on the surface of a textile substrate via plating, printing, coating, and other surface techniques, or by producing a textile substrate from metals and inherently conductive polymers via the creation of fibers and construction of yarns and fabrics with these. In addition, conductive filament fibers or yarns can be also integrated into conventional textile substrates during the fabrication like braiding, weaving, and knitting or as a post-fabrication of the textile fabric via embroidering. Additionally, layer-by-layer 3D printing of the entire smart textile components is possible, and the concept of 4D could play a significant role in advancing the status of smart textiles to a new level.

“…[7][8][9] Electroconductive technical textiles have been broadly used in a wide range of significant applications such as for communication and flexible electronics, electromagnetic interference shielding, actuators, heating panels, sensors, and electrostatic discharge clothing. [10][11][12][13][14] The most highly conductive materials are metals such as silver, carbon, copper, silver, gold, nickel, and steel. [15,16] Composites of those conductive materials can be applied by coating into conventional textile substrates.…”

“…Electroconductive textiles can also be prepared using metal filaments or yarns woven into the bulk textile fibres to introduce better conductivity compared with the coating process. [10][11][12][13][14] Longpersistent photoluminescence has been an interesting phenomenon in materials with the aptitude to glow in the dark. Long-persistent photoluminescent materials function by absorbing light energy into the crystal component of the photoluminescent material and then storing it in the trap component of the photoluminescent material.…”

A simple method for the preparation of multifunctional nanocomposite was developed towards the production of water-repellent, electrically conductive, and photoluminescent film onto cotton fibres. The nanocomposite was composed of lanthanide-doped strontium aluminium oxide and silicon rubber dispersed in petroleum ether. The electrically conductive fabric was woven from nickel strips twisted with cotton filaments as core yarns, which were wrapped with pure cotton yarns. The nanoparticles (NPs) of lanthanide-doped strontium aluminium oxide were mixed with environmentally friendly room-temperature vulcanizing silicon rubber (RTV-SR) dis-

“…In recent years, optical fiber devices have been widely explored in the literature for hydrostatic pressure [13], lateral load [14], and strain [15,16] sensing. They have, therefore, general application as optical sensing devices; however, thin graphene oxide (GO) [17][18][19][20][21] films have gained acceptance in the development of several devices [22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31] and sensors [32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40]. Recently, it has been demonstrated that hollow microsphere fiberbased sensors, conforming to Fabry-Perot interferometers (FPI), can be used in sensing applications [41] by using GO as a tunable platform to enhance the spectral features of hollow microsphere FPI fiber sensor devices.…”

Thermally Stimulated Desorption Optical Fiber-Based Interrogation System: An Analysis of Graphene Oxide Layers’ Stability

et al. 2021

Thin graphene oxide (GO) film layers are being widely used as sensing layers in different types of electrical and optical sensor devices. GO layers are particularly popular because of their tuned interface reflectivity. The stability of GO layers is fundamental for sensor device reliability, particularly in complex aqueous environments such as wastewater. In this work, the stability of GO layers in layer-by-layer (LbL) films of polyethyleneimine (PEI) and GO was investigated. The results led to the following conclusions: PEI/GO films grow linearly with the number of bilayers as long as the adsorption time is kept constant; the adsorption kinetics of a GO layer follow the behavior of the adsorption of polyelectrolytes; and the interaction associated with the growth of these films is of the ionic type since the desorption activation energy has a value of 119 ± 17 kJ/mol. Therefore, it is possible to conclude that PEI/GO films are suitable for application in optical fiber sensor devices; most importantly, an optical fiber-based interrogation setup can easily be adapted to investigate in situ desorption via a thermally stimulated process. In addition, it is possible to draw inferences about film stability in solution in a fast, reliable way when compared with the traditional ones.
