Abstract:

In order to study the electrical heating properties of wearable fabrics and the influence of washing on their properties, a reduced graphene oxide (RGO) coated fabric heater was prepared through a simple, safe and industrial-scale liquid phase immersion deposition method that by depositing RGO on polyester knitted fabrics and for reduction in situ. The morphology and chemical structure of RGO coated polyester fabric were characterized by scanning electron microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectrometer. The electrical conductivity, mechanical and electric heating properties of RGO coated polyester fabrics were also measured. The results show that the electrical conductivity of the RGO coated polyester fabric is 430.94 mS/cm. In addition, the RGO coated polyester fabric can reach a stable-state temperature of 65.58 ℃ under a voltage of 10 V, and the maximum heating rate of 3.14 ℃/s. After two cycles of washing, the RGO coated polyester fabric can reach 43 ℃ under 10 V applied voltage. This paper shows that the RGO coated polyester fabric has remarkable electrical heating properties with great application potentials in medical electrothermal, athletic rehabilitation and other fields.
