In this study, reduced graphene oxide (rGO) is produced from graphite by using the modified Hummers method. In order to understand the usage of rGO for smart textile applications, the cotton fabric is coated via the dip and dry method to see the effect of rGO coating, number of dip and dry cycles on the changes of thermal and electrical resistance of the fabric. Graphene oxide (GO) and rGO
Highlights• Reduced graphene oxide (rGO) was successfully prepared from graphite via the modified Hummers' method.• Biodegradable and sustainable cotton fabric was coated with rGO to improve its electrical and thermal properties using a simple dip and dry method.• No binding agent was used during the coating process.• The increase in the rGO content decreased the surface electrical resistivity while increasing the thermal stability of the cotton fabric.
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.
