PIEZORESISTIVE BEHAVIOR OF LYCRA FABRICS MODIFIED WITH MULTI-LAYER GRAPHENE VIA LIQUID-PHASE EXFOLIATION AND LAYER-BY-LAYER ASSEMBLY
Annotatsiya
This research presents a cost-effective and scalable approach for producing multi-layer graphene (MLG) via liquid-phase exfoliation using a high-speed mechanical shearing process. To prevent the re-aggregation of exfoliated graphene, carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) was utilized as a stabilizing agent. The quality and concentration of the graphene were characterized using Raman and UV–Vis spectroscopy, identifying 1000 minutes as the optimal exfoliation time for high-yield production. Furthermore, a piezoresistive textile sensor was fabricated by depositing MLG-CMC and chitosan onto Lycra fabric through a Layer-by-Layer (LbL) assembly technique. Systematic electrical testing revealed that the sheet resistance stabilizes after 23 bilayers, forming a robust conductive network. The resulting textile sensor demonstrated high sensitivity to mechanical loads, with a significant drop in resistance under compression due to increased fiber contact and network densification. This study provides a sustainable and economical pathway for the development of next-generation wearable smart electronics and pressure-sensing textiles.
