Abstract:

In this study, the process of covering on cotton tissue was carried out in the rack coating machine by preparing a pat containing 100% graphene oxide. For this purpose, graphene oxide was synthesized by the method of chemical oxidation from graphite particles. After covering with 100% graphene oxide prepared without any helpful chemical use, the process of deduction with vitamin C was implemented in order to convert graphene oxide into electrically conductive structure. The characterization of graphene oxide and reduced graphene oxide covered fabric was carried out with Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and the surface characteristics were studied with the scanned electron microscope (SEM). Electrical resistance is measured by four-point prob technique. By performing washing and drawing resistance tests, the reduced graphene oxide-covered fabric's electrical resistance was determined. Accordingly, the electrical resistance in cotton fabric covered with graphene oxide was obtained as 4.46E+06 Ω/□ and the electrical resistance after the process of reduction with vitamin C was measured as 2.56E+02 Ω/□. There was no record change in the value of electrical resistance after washing, but there was a slight increase after the height tests. Furthermore, the electromagnetic lifting effectiveness of reduced graphene oxide-covered cotton fabric was also studied and the lifting effectiveness increased with the fabric’s stretching.
