Electrochemical Coating of Magnetic Nanostructures on the Cotton Fabric for Sensor Applications

Textiles have been interested by researchers due to their ability for application in portable devices and flexible sensors. However, their application is still in the development phase and needs a standardized set of methodologies. Preparing magnetic fabric is one way to develop the application of flexible and wearable sensors and electronic products. In this paper, a magnetic textile was prepared through the electrochemical coating of cobalt and iron nanoparticles on the surface of cotton fabric modified by polyethylene glycol (PEG) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO). rGO was used to make conductivity of the surface of cotton fabric and PEG was applied to better stabilize rGO. A saturation magnetization of ۶۱.۵۴ emu/g at room temperature and reduced charge transfer resistance against uncoated cotton fabric indicated the successful electrochemical coating of iron and cobalt nanoparticles on the surface of modified cotton fabric.
