In this research provides commercially available methods for the mass production of graphene coated textiles using the continious dyeing process,and exhaust dyeing method;for electomagnetic interference(EMI)shielding.The research work is based on the design and development of highly conductive textile to use as regular clothing to protect EM radiation for human body.The woven and knitted fabric structures of cotton fabric were fabricated with reduced graphene oxide(rGO)and Poly-ethoxide trimethyl sulphonate(PEDOT:PSS)Nano-hybrids using commercially available continuous dyeing method and exhaust dyeing method.The cotton fabric had higher wet pick up 60-80 percent with deficient solution consumption 2.5-5.0g/50.0 mL at a higher production rate of 1.0-5.0 m/min under atmospheric pressure of 100 cN/cm2 for the woven cotton fabric.The continuous dyeing and reduction were achieved simultaneously,over a temperature of 90-100℃ and chemically reduced into GO to rGO and prepare the highly conductive and flexible textile for EMI shielding.Similarly,in the second method,the exhaust dyeing method was used for knitted cotton fabrics to fabricate rGO-PEDOT PSS hybrid.The GO dye solution was loaded with reducing agent and dyeing process was carried out at 100℃ on the continuous dyeing machine.The GO was directly dyed and converted into rGO and fixed on cotton fabric by a simple exhaustion dyeing process.The reduction of GO-dyed fabric was efficiently completed by an increasing the concentration of rGO and C6H8O6(L-ascorbic acid)as a green,reducing agent with weight ration 4:1 respectively.The results showed improved electrical conductivity as compared to natural rGO coated fabrics when the fabric was coated with PEDOT:PSS as a second layer using layer by layer approach,and post-treated with(DMSO)and(EG)after reduction for 1h above 90℃.Moreover,the results showed that when increasing the volume%of rGO(2.5,5.0,10.0,20.0 and 40.0)percent significantly reduced the sheet resistance and improved the tensile strength,washing,rubbing,and color fastness properties of the rGO-dyed cotton fabric for EMI shielding performance in particularly enhanced up to-49 dB on 30-1530 MHz frequency range on X band.
