Melt Spinning of Thermoplastic Polyurethane-Based Bulk Ionofibers Filled with Carbon Nanotubes.

ABSTRACT: Ionotronic textiles or i-textiles offer in-air electrochemical applications and sensing due to their ionic character, mimicking phenomena of organisms. To manufacture different i-textiles with unique functions and characteristics, it is necessary to have a range of ionically conductive textile fibers or ionofibers to choose from. However, their means of production are not sufficiently explored to provide knowledge that meets the fabric manufacturing needs. For a textile application, surface functionalization is usually explored as a convenient way to build upon an already known textile material. In contrast, bulk functionalization allows for superior production rate, versatility, and durability. Additionally, the use of the synergy between ionic liquids and carbon nanotubes is seldom explo
