Exposure of these specially treated fabrics to nitrogen dioxide led to a change in the electrical resistance of the reduced graphene oxide.

The fabrics were so sensitive that 30 mins of exposure to 0. 25 ppm of nitrogen dioxide (just under five times above the acceptable standard set by the U s. Environmental protection agency) elicited a response.

The fabrics were three times as sensitive to nitrogen dioxide in air compared to another reduced graphene oxide sensor previously prepared on a flat material.

#Carbon nanotubes Applied to Create Electrical conductivity in Woolen Fabrics The fabrics can be used in various industries,

Among textile products, woolen fabrics are used in various industries due to their unique properties such as insulation and flexibility.

However, the quick growth of advanced technologies and the needs of consumers in various aspects have forced textile industry to focus on the production and development of a new generation of fabrics.

The production of fabrics with new properties such as electrical conductivity is among the changes. Researchers have tried in this research to synthesize fabrics with new properties by using simple and modified carbon nanotubes.

Based on the results the application of nanotubes and modification of the sample surfaces lead to the production of conductive fabrics with different electrical properties.

The synthesis of these fabrics will open new windows to the production of composites with conventional and innovative applications.

Carbon nanotubes have been added to woolen fabrics that are insulators by themselves. Therefore, the product can be presented to the market as a relatively conductive material.

The fabrics can be used in the production of normal and industrial clothes, and also in protective clothes in military industry y
