The seamless incorporation of electronics in textiles have the potential to enable various applications ranging from sensors for the internet of things to personalised medicine and human-machine interfacing. Graphene electronic textiles are a current focus for the research community due to the exceptional electrical and optical properties combined with the high flexibility of this material, which makes it the most effective strategy to achieve ultimate mechanical robustness of electronic devices for textile integrated electronics. An efficient way to create electronic textiles is to fabricate devices directly on the fabric. This can be done by coating the textile fabric with graphene to make it conductive. Here we discuss successful and efficient methods for coating graphene nanoplatelets on textile substrates of nylon, polyester and meta-aramid using ultrasonic spray coating technique. These coatings are characterised by scanning electron microscopy, contact angle and electrical conductivity measurements in order to identify the optimal textile electrode. Our study provides the foundation for the large-area fabrication of graphene electronic textiles.

纺织品中电子产品的无缝结合有可能实现各种应用，从物联网传感器到个性化医疗和人机接口。石墨烯电子纺织品由于其卓越的电学和光学特性以及该材料的高柔韧性而成为当前研究界的焦点，这使其成为实现纺织品集成电子设备电子设备最终机械强度的最有效策略。创建电子纺织品的一种有效方法是直接在织物上制造设备。这可以通过用石墨烯涂覆纺织织物以使其导电来实现。在这里，我们讨论了在尼龙纺织基材上涂覆石墨烯纳米片的成功和有效方法，聚酯和间位芳纶使用超声波喷涂技术。这些涂层的特征是通过扫描电子显微镜、接触角和电导率测量来确定最佳纺织电极。我们的研究为石墨烯电子纺织品的大面积制造提供了基础。
