Abstract

With the advancement of the wearable electronics, there is a growing demand for the textile electrodes due to their compliance and comfortableness to wear. Hence, a thorough investigation of suitable materials, fabrication methodologies and sensing elements needs to be developed. While poplar trees are widely used in the wood industry, our group recently utilize the poplar fibers in the production of nonwoven fabrics for the first time. In this study, an electrically conductive web is formed via coating the poplar/polyester (PET) nonwoven fabric with silver nanowires (AgNWs). The coated poplar textile electrodes exhibited good electrical conductivity and superb flexibility. Therefore, they might have great potential in wearable electronic applications such as an ECG electrode.
