MWCNT-coated textiles for heating and temperature sensing under varying environmental conditions.

ABSTRACT: In this study, a conductive cellulosic fabric was developed using a simple knife-edge coating method with multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) as conductive fillers and two different binders. The coated fabric was evaluated for its potential as an electrical heating textile and a temperature sensor. The investigation focused on the impact of environmental factors, including relative humidity and ambient temperature on the electrical heating performance of the coated textile samples. Increasing bio-based ink layers improved conductivity from 292 ± 38 S m^-1 for three-layer coating to 623 ± 120 S m^-1 for four-layer coating. IR thermal imaging revealed rapid Joule heating, with surface temperatures reaching 53 °C at 10 V. Relative humidity (RH) significantly influenced heat
