Conductive Polymer Fibers for Sensor Devices

摘要: This chapter introduces the sensor applications of conductive fiber assemblies poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) doped with poly(4-styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) and regioregular poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT). The scalable multifilament PEDOT:PSS (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) was fabricated by a coagulation spinning dope solution in cold methanol. composed uniform circular fibers an average diameter 60 5 mm showed good enough mechanical properties for textile processes while maintaining electronic conductivity. foldable textiles based on PEDOT:PSS/PVA blended worked as flexible electrodes to detect human heartbeats. Uniform P3HT nanofibers are obtained through continuous electrospinning process using homogeneous high-molecular-weight P3HT. oriented collecting them rotating drum collector. Small physical inputs into self-standing nanofiber give rise additional contact among neighboring nanofibers, which results decreased resistance directions orthogonal orientation. could pressure changes bending angles monitoring changes, responses were repeatable. organicconductive can be platform lightweight wearable electronics.
