Abstract:

Reduced graphene oxide (RGO) was used to print on the surface of cotton fabrics to obtain flexible conductive textile materials by UV-curing technology. The mass concentration of RGO, polyurethane acrylate (PUA), photoinitiator 1173 and trimethylolpropane triacrylate (TMPTA) and the curing time on conductive properties of cotton fabric was explored. The conductivity of cotton fabrics were tested, and the morphology of RGO printed on the surface of cotton fabrics was characterized by scanning electron microscopy. The results show that the conductivity of cotton fabrics increases with the increasing of RGO mass concentration. The electrical durability, however, decreases with the increasing of RGO mass concentration. The conductivity of cotton fabrics decreases with the increasing of PUA, photoinitiator 1173 and TMPTA mass concentration, and the electrical durability increases at the same time. The SEM test results show that with the increasing of RGO mass concentration, the amount of RGO coated on the surface of cotton fabrics is increased, and the continuity of RGO conductive layer is enhanced. It is concluded that the optimal UV curable pringting process is the mass ratio of RGO, PUA, TMPTA and photoinitiator 1173 10:4:69:17, curing for 15 s, the printed cotton fabrics obtain excellent electrical conductivity and electrical durability.
