Abstract To realize the full gamut of functions that are envisaged for electronic textiles (e-textiles) a range of semiconducting, conducting and electrochemically active materials are needed. This article will discuss how metals, conducting polymers, carbon nanotubes, and two-dimensional (2D) materials, including graphene and MXenes, can be used in concert to create e-textile materials, from fibers and yarns to patterned fabrics. Many of the most promising architectures utilize several classes of materials (e.g., elastic fibers composed of a conducting material and a stretchable polymer, or textile devices constructed with conducting polymers or 2D materials and metal electrodes). While an increasing number of materials and devices display a promising degree of wash and wear resistance, sustainability aspects of e-textiles will require greater attention. Graphical abstract

ABSTRACTThe synthesis of polyaniline in its fully oxidized, fully reduced and selected average intermediate oxidation states is described together with the synthesis of a self-protonic acid doped polyaniline. The processing of polyaniline films and fibers by thermal stretching to give conductivities up to ∼100 S/cm is reported. Both doped and undoped polyaniline fibers have tensile strengths approaching those of commercial polymers.

An implantable artificial endocrine pancreas consisting of a glucose sensor and a closed-loop insulin delivery system could potentially replace the need for glucose self-monitoring and regulation among insulin dependent diabetics. Achieving such a break through largely depends on the development of an appropriate, biocompatible membrane for the sensor. Biocompatibility is crucial since changes in the glucose sensors membrane resulting from attack by orinter action with living tissues can interfere with sensor reliability and accuracy. If such interactions can be understood, however, compensations can be made for their effects. Current polymer technology offers several possible membranes that meet the unique chemical dynamics required of a glucose sensor. Two of the most promising polymer membranes are polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and silicone (Si). Low-voltage scanning electron microscopy, which is an excellent technique for characterizing a variety of polymeric and non-conducting materials, 27 was applied to the examination of experimental sensor membranes.

Conducting polymers comprises a new class of materials achieving electrical conductivities which rival those of the best metals. The parent compounds (conjugated polymers) are quasi-one-dimensional semiconductors. These polymers can be doped by electron acceptors or electron donors. The prototype of these materials is polyacetylene (PA). There are various other conjugated polymers such as polyparaphenylene, polyphenylenevinylene, polypoyrrole or polythiophene. The doped systems, i.e. the conducting polymers, have intersting potential technological applications such as replacement of conventional metals in electronic shielding and antistatic equipment, rechargable batteries, and flexible light emitting diodes.Although these systems have been investigated almost 20 years, the electronic structure of the doped metallic systems is not clear and even the reason for the gap in undoped semiconducting systems is under discussion.
