Abstract
With the development of smart and functional textiles, electro-conductive fabrics based on polyaniline have attracted much attention due to its unique chemical structure, ease of preparation, flexibility, stability, excellent electrical conductivity, and sensing properties. As a result, polyaniline-based fabrics are widely used in various applications, including electromagnetic shielding, electronics, sensing, monitoring, and biomedicine. This chapter reviews the state-of-the-art technologies for fabricating polyaniline-coated woven, non-woven, and knitted fabrics based on natural and synthetic polymers, describing the fabrication methods, characterization techniques, and applications.
