CARBON NANOTUBE EMBEDDED TEXTILES

摘要

Carbon nanotube embedded textiles and methods for production of carbon nanotube embedded textiles are disclosed. Initially, carbon nanotubes, a cationic surfactant, and distilled water are mixed to form a stabilized carbon nanotube mixture. A textile is then soaked in a solution of the stabilized carbon nanotube mixture and an electrolyte to form a carbon nanotube adsorbed textile. The carbon nanotube adsorbed textile is then dried. Next, the dried carbon nanotube adsorbed textile is treating in a solution of a crosslinking agent and a catalyst to form a carbon nanotube embedded textile. The carbon nanotube embedded textile is then dried.
