1. Introduction
Smart textiles, also known as E-textiles or electronic textiles,
are gaining attention due to potential applications in biosensors, heat generation, and wearable electronics [1–5].
However, current methods of imparting conductivity, such
as the incorporation of metals [6–8] or conductive polymers
[9,10], often give less than optimal conductivity and can result
in the loss of fabric flexibility, significant weight increases,
undesirable changes in fabric texture, or skin irritation. In
an effort to meet these challenges, a new approach, based
on kinetically trapping pristine FLG from natural flake
graphite, is presented. This approach enables electrically
conductive fabrics incorporating FLG sheets on the surface
of fibers. The fabrics show no degradation of properties, yet
demonstrate remarkable electrical conductivity.
