Abstract EN
Electrical conductive textile coatings with variable amounts of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are presented.
Formulations of textile coatings were prepared with up to 15 wt % of CNT, based on the solid weight of the binder.
The binders are water based polyacrylate dispersions.
The CNTs were mixed into the binder dispersion starting from a commercially available aqueous CNT dispersion that is compatible with the binder dispersion.
Coating formulations with variable CNT concentrations were applied on polyester and cotton woven and knitted fabrics by different textile coating techniques: direct coating, transfer coating, and screen printing.
The coatings showed increasing electrical conductivity with increasing CNT concentration.
The coatings can be regarded to be electrically conductive (sheet resistivity < 10 3 Ohm/sq) starting at 3 wt% CNT.
The degree of dispersion of the carbon nanotubes particles inside the coating was visualized by scanning electron microscopy.
The CNT particles form honeycomb structured networks in the coatings, proving a high degree of dispersion.
This honeycomb structure of CNT particles is forming a conductive network in the coating leading to low resistivity values.
