Fabrication of a wearable device using reduced graphene oxide
Abstract
In the last decade, flexible electronics have gained interest due to advances in nanotechnology and materials science. Graphene and its derivatives, such as reduced graphene oxide, stand out for their conductive and flexible properties. This has spurred research into the integration of these nanomaterials into textiles to create functional wearable devices. A nylon-based wearable device was designed that can detect movements and measure the user's body temperature through changes in electrical resistance. An immersion coating technique was used, followed by graphene oxide reduction. Functionalization was performed with polyvinyl alcohol and activated carbon. Cotton and polyester samples were functionalized for comparison. Data were collected and recorded using a printed circuit board and arduino, allowing for real-time monitoring. The results promise a possible integration of the device into any garment and its use for high-performance athletes, as well as hospital patients requiring accurate body temperature measurements in specific areas of the body.
