Hydrophobic Conductive Flexible Composite Fabric and Its Stretch Sensing Performance
Hexadecyltrimethoxysilane (HDTMS) was employed as a low-surface-energy modifier
and a spandex-cotton blended fabric served as a flexible substrate. A flexible composite fabric integrating high conductivity and hydrophobic functionality was developed through
in situ
interfacial redox polymerization to load a conductive polypyrrole (PPy) layer. The microstructure and chemical composition of the fabric were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR)
respectively. Electrical performance tests and contact angle measurements were conducted to evaluate the conductivity and hydrophobicity of the fabrics. The effects of the PPy concentration and HDTMS treatment processes on the conductive properties were systematically investigated. The results demonstrated that the optimized HDTMS/PPy/spandex-cotton fabric exhibited excellent hydrophobicity (contact angle of 121.3°) and stable conductivity (sheet resistance of 140.67 Ω/□). Additionally
the composite fabric displayed high sensitivity and durability in bending cycle tests
along with remarkable antifouling properties. This work provides a novel strategy for designing multifunctional flexible wearable electronic devices.
