Abstract
A textile with an electrically conductive first side and an electrically conductive second side where the two sides are separated by an electrically insulating part of the textile and where the electrically conductivity is provided by a graphene coating on the respective sides and where a capacitance can be formed between the respective conductive sides.
Claims31
A Piezocapacitive textile incorporating graphene.
A graphene coating on a Piezocapacitive textile that confers electrical conductivity and does not substantially change the porosity, elasticity or flexibility of the textile.
A graphene coating on a Piezocapacitive textile that confers electrical conductivity and increases the water affinity of the textile.
A Piezocapacitive textile comprising a first area containing graphene that is electrically conductive and a second area containing graphene that is electrically conductive, wherein said first area and said second area are located so that an electrically isolated third area of the textile separates the first area and second area such that an electrical capacitance is formed between the first area and second area.
