Background: The integration of electronics into textiles
necessitates the development of highly conductive, flexible, and durable
conductive yarns. Traditional metal-based conductors lack flexibility, while
carbon-based materials often require complex processing.
Objective: This study aims to synthesize and characterize a
novel conductive yarn by coating cotton substrates with Titanium Carbide MXene
(Ti₃C₂Tₓ) nanosheets for applications in wearable sensing and electromagnetic
interference (EMI) shielding.
Method: This study uses a simulated dataset created for
academic training purposes. MXene nanosheets were synthesized via selective
etching and deposited onto cotton yarns using a dip-coating technique. The
yarns' electrical conductivity, mechanical properties, and EMI shielding
effectiveness (SE) were evaluated using simulated data based on established
theoretical models and literature benchmarks.
Key Results: The MXene-coated yarn exhibited a linear electrical
conductivity of 125 S/cm, a 40% increase in tensile strength due to nanosheet
reinforcement, and an EMI SE of 35 dB in the X-band frequency range. The
coating demonstrated excellent stability after 1000 bending cycles.
