Abstract

In this paper, uniform and durable deposition of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) on cotton fabric by conventional dyeing method with is reported. MWCNTs were synthesized byarc discharge method in deionized water and purified. Synthesized MWCNTs wereanalyzed by XRDs and TEM analysis. Purified MWCNTs were incorporated on cotton fabric with reactive vinyl sulphone class dyeing and confirmed by Raman spectroscopy and FE-SEM. It has been observed that there is effective improvement in strength, bending length and flexural rigidity of fabric. Sheet resistance of cotton fabric was also enhanced by 105 fold. Results remain same even after 10 laundries washing which confirm the durability of deposition.
