Abstract
In a preferred embodiment, there is provided a modified fabric composition, the composition comprising a fabric member and an electroactive member for storing energy, wherein the fabric member comprises a fabric framework defining a deformable plane and a plurality of projections extending at an angle from the plane, and wherein the electroactive member is coupled to at least one of the projections.
Claims7
A method for preparing a modified fabric composition for use as an electrode, the method comprising:
- providing a fabric member comprising a stretchable fabric framework defining a deformable plane and a plurality of projections coupled to the stretchable fabric framework at a distance from each other and extending at an angle from the plane;
- depositing a conductive coating on the fabric framework;
- and
- depositing an electroactive coating on the projections, wherein the electroactive coating is electrically coupled to the conductive coating,
- wherein the fabric member comprises a warp-knitted velour fabric comprising as the fabric framework a warp-knitted fabric framework and a cut pile as the projections, wherein the warp-knitted fabric framework and the cut pile are formed with one or more of a polyester yarn and a spandex yarn.
