Washable PEDOT:PSS Coated Polyester with Submicron Sized Fibers for Wearable Technologies

[Image: see text] The use of non-metallic conductive yarns in wearable technologies like smart textiles requires compliant washable fibers that can withstand domestic washing without losing their conductive properties. A one-pot coating with PEDOT:PSS conductive polymers was applied to polyester sub...

description [Image: see text] The use of non-metallic conductive yarns in wearable technologies like smart textiles requires compliant washable fibers that can withstand domestic washing without losing their conductive properties. A one-pot coating with PEDOT:PSS conductive polymers was applied to polyester submicron fibers, increasing the water resistance and washability under various domestic washing conditions. Plasma treatment of the untreated samples improved the anchoring of the coating to the fibers, producing smooth and homogeneous coatings. The primary doping of PEDOT:PSS with ethylene glycol (EG), dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), and a non-ionic surfactant as well as the secondary doping of the composite fibers improved the sheet resistance at room temperature. The as-obtained composite materials showed similar mechanical properties as the parent fibers, indicating that the coating and post-treatment do not affect the overall mechanical property of the composite. The performance of the composites under different temperature and humidity conditions and washability using the standardized ISO 6330:2012 procedure for domestic washing and drying showed that the obtained composites are good candidates for reliable washable wearable technologies, such as all-organic washable Joule heaters in functional textiles.
