Abstract

Single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT)-conductive cotton fabric was prepared by a simple infusion method. The SWCNTs became strongly attached to the cotton fibers due to the surface functional groups forming a network on the cotton surface. As a result, the fabric exhibited enhanced electrical conductivity with a low value of sheet resistance (0.006 Ω). Moreover, the conductive cotton fabric displayed a reversible stable state transition at approximately 75°C, where the resistance of the fabric transitioned from metal to semiconductor behavior.
