Preparation of polypyrrole coated on Polyester Cleanroom Wiper as heater device

Recently, many efforts have been dedicated to achieve lightweight, stretchable, and flexible heat device. Here, the Polyester Cleanroom Wiper coated with poly(pyrrole) as flexible material showing electrothermal properties are reported. Poly(pyrrole) particles are synthesized on the cloth via a simple in situ polymerization method with different Py/FeCl3 concentration ratios. A highly conductive cloth with surface resistance of 23 omega/sq can be produced by changing the Py/FeCl3 concentration. The flexible composites showed sensitive electrothermal performance, and a steady-state temperature of 89.1 degrees C could be reached at 6 V. In addition, temperature, voltage, and time-dependent temperature results showed that the heating performance was strongly dependent on the resistance and external voltage. Herein, as-prepared composites were further analyzed as ultra-fast responding electrothermal heaters, indicating their great potential in application value as wearable electronic textiles.
