Abstract

Abstract: Silk fabrics were coated with carbon nano fibers (CNFs)/poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene)(PVDF-HFP) composite solution by the knife edge method. The various contents of CNFs/PVDF-HFP coated silk fab-rics were investigated through their morphological, mechanical, and electrical properties. In the results regarding surfacemorphology, it was shown that the CNFs were evenly distributed in coated silk fabrics through SEM images; the exist-ence of CNFs in coated silk fabrics was confirmed. For the results regarding the mechanical properties, the tensile lin-earity and compression linearity improved as CNFs contents increased. Also, the electrical properties of CNFs/PVDF-HFP coated silk fabrics increased with 4% CNFs contents. Therefore, the results confirm the ability of conductive tex-tiles by using CNFs/PVDF-HFP composite-coated silk fabrics.Keywords: carbon nanofibers, poly(vinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene), conductive silk fabrics, mechanical property,electrical property
