“…Few layer graphene was exfoliated using a simple and enviromentally friendly microfluidization technique. [ 24,27 ] The statistical analysis of flake thickness, measured by atomic force microscopy (AFM), shows that 20% of exfoliated G flakes are <10 nm thick (Figure S1a, Supporting Information) and the lateral size of the G flakes reduces from ≈50 to ≈1.5 µm after 20 cycles (Figure S1b, Supporting Information). Typical Raman spectra of G flakes show the characteristic features of multilayers graphene, i.e., G peak at ≈1582 cm −1 and an asymmetric 2D band at ≈2700 cm −1[ 31 ] (Figure S1c, Supporting Information), confirming the successful exfoliation.…”

“…The manufacturing of highly conductive glass rovings was reported using graphene‐based inks, which were produced via microfluidization technique. [ 24 ] Microfluidization is a very well‐established technique for applications such as de‐agglomerating and dispersing carbon nanotubes [ 25 ] and oil‐in‐water nanoemulsions. [ 26 ] Such method applies a high pressure (up to 207 MPa) [ 25 ] to the entire volume of liquid to pass through a microchannel (diameter, d < 100 µm).…”

Graphene‐based textiles show promise for next‐generation wearable electronic applications due to their advantages over metal‐based technologies. However, current reduced graphene oxide (rGO)‐based electronic textiles (e‐textiles) suffer from poor electrical conductivity and higher power consumption. Here, highly conductive, ultraflexible, and machine washable graphene‐based wearable e‐textiles are reported. A simple and scalable pad−dry−cure method with subsequent roller compression and a fine encapsulation of graphene flakes is used. The graphene‐based wearable e‐textiles thus produced provide lowest sheet resistance (≈11.9 Ω sq−1) ever reported on graphene e‐textiles, and highly conductive even after 10 home laundry washing cycles. Moreover, it exhibits extremely high flexibility, bendability, and compressibility as it shows repeatable response in both forward and backward directions before and after home laundry washing cycles. The scalability and multifunctional applications of such highly conductive graphene‐based wearable e‐textiles are demonstrated as ultraflexible supercapacitor and skin‐mounted strain sensors.

applications, and smart sportswear. [13][14][15][16][17] In this regard, stretchable and wearable electronic devices in the 1D form, which can be directly integrated into daily clothes without any inconsistency, are greatly promising for future wearable electronics. [18][19][20][21][22][23] In addition, the hierarchical property of the fibrous structures (fiber: a small and short piece of a strand, filament: a long strand, yarn: an intertwined 1D structure of fibers or filaments, and fabric: a flexible substance consisting of a network of yarns) makes 1D electronic devices and systems remarkably suitable for advanced wearable electronics. The 1D assemblies including the 1D electronic devices also have unique characteristics appropriate to wearable electronics such as softness, stretchability, breathability, and high tolerance to damage. [3] Stretchability, in particular, is one of the most important properties for practical wearable applications because smart clothes or textiles including such 1D electronic devices should be covered on soft and curved human body. [24] Furthermore, some parts of clothes are frequently stretched and deformed during natural movements in daily life, thereby increasing the importance of stretchability of 1D electronic devices. Although many of existing clothes have achieved certain stretchability with only rigid yarns through specific textile structures such as woven or knitted structures, the stretchability resulting from such textile structures is insufficient to cover high stretchability desired in specific applications. For example, high stretchability of textiles is highly required for sportswear in order to achieve a form-fitting property, high comfortability, and elasticity during exercise. For such purpose, various stretchable yarns such as spandex have been widely used in textile industry. These properties of textiles are also essential for various sensing applications of wearable and textile electronic, resulting that high stretchability should be achieved for the 1D electronic devices. [25,26] In addition, the high stretchability resulting from the use of stretchable conductive yarns can successfully prevent a bagging issue of smart textiles which degrades stability and reproducibility of the smart textiles. For achieving the 1D stretchable electronic devices and systems, the development of 1D stretchable electrodes such as conductive yarns or filaments with high electrical conductivity and stretchability is basically essential above other things. In this regard, recent advances toward developing various high-performance Research on wearable electronic devices that can be directly integrated into daily textiles or clothes has been explosively grown holding great potential for various practical wearable applications. These wearable electronic devices strongly demand 1D electronic devices that are light-weight, weavable, highly flexible, stretchable, and adaptable to comport to frequent deformations during usage in daily life. To this end, the development of 1D electrodes wit...

Transparent heaters (TH) have attracted intense attention from both scientific and industrial sectors due to the key role they play in many technologies, including smart windows, deicers, defoggers, displays, actuators, and sensors. While transparent conductive oxides have dominated the field for the past five decades, a new generation of THs based on nanomaterials has led to new paradigms in terms of applications and prospects in the past years. Here, the most recent developments and strategies to improve the properties, stability, and integration of these new THs are reviewed.
