Abstract
Coating conventional textile goods with conductive polymer is considered a replacement method for producing conductive goods and layers. In this procedure, polymerization is done in surface of fiber and the surface fiber coated by conductive co-polymer. In this paper, we aim to study the possibility of coating the surface cotton fabric by pyrrole-thiophene composite. In this regard, the polymerization conditions such as time, temperature and ultrasonic effect were examined. In order to compare the conductivity of the samples coated with conductive composites, the cotton samples were also coated with carbon nanotubes and carbon nanotubes-pyrrole composite. To express the conductivity properties of samples, surface resistance of samples in W/cm was measured according to standard method AATCC 76-1995. The wear resistance and washing fastness of samples were also examined.
