GRAPHENE TEXTILES

The addition of graphene products to textiles can create a wide range of enhanced properties. For example, graphene-enhanced textiles are stronger and last longer, have excellent wear-resistance and thermal management. Graphene can be added directly into the fiber or added as a coating to the surface of the textile. The coating technique is simpler and cost-effective and is ideal for a wide range of textiles and associated high-value materials.

Graphene-coated textiles are potentially ideal for wearable technologies. Not only can they improve the resistance to wear, abrasion, and tearing, they also provide greater thermal and electrical conductivity. This opens up possibilities for smart textiles, wearable sensors, and applications for data transmission.

Enhanced thermal conductivity properties can help to dissipate heat from the body leading to improved comfort and regulation of temperature. Anti-static properties can both enhance and increase comfort levels and reduce the risks in explosive working environments.
