Summary: Conductive cotton fabrics are widely used in electromagnetic shields and soft sensors due to their softness and comfort. However, the conventional methods of preparing conductive cotton fabrics often result in the detachment and fracture of conductive coatings, leading to a decline in their conductivity. In this study, L-cysteine was used as a binder to immobilize silver nanoparticles on cotton fabric, and PEDOT:PSS was applied to prevent them from falling off and cracking. The resulting fabric exhibited high electrical conductivity and electromagnetic shielding effectiveness, with improved durability.

Summary: This study prepared a cotton fabric with excellent conductive and thermal properties by coating with silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs), MXene, and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). The cotton fabric exhibited excellent conductive properties due to the Ag NPs and MXene coatings, and also had mechanical and chemical durability due to the PDMS coating. After applying a low voltage, the cotton fabric's temperature increased within a short time (<96.0 s), and the temperature increase could be controlled by adjusting the time. The finished cotton fabric retained its inherent properties to a significant extent after the finishing process, indicating great potential for application in conductive and warm textiles.
