Claims8
An electrically conductive textile containing graphene that changes electrical resistance when deformed, wherein the graphene has been applied to fibres comprising the textile after the formation of the fibres, wherein the fibres are electrically conductive and the textile is electrically conductive, and wherein the fibres are not uniformly electrically conductive.
An electrically conductive textile containing graphene that changes electrical resistance when deformed, wherein said textile comprising one or more areas containing graphene that are electrically conductive, wherein said areas change electrical resistance when deformed, and wherein a first area of electrical conductivity is electrically connected to a second and third area of electrical conductivity;
- and wherein said first area of electrical conductivity changes resistance with deformation;
- and wherein said second and third areas are adapted to be used to connect electrical equipment to the first area.
