(a) Schematic demonstrating the use of yarns for developing electronic fabrics. Briefly, graphene doped polyurethane fibers are deposited on the surface of Ni-coated cotton yarns. These core-shell yarns are then wound around an elastic thread. In the next step, the composite yarns are woven to obtain a fabric. (b) SEM image of the elastic composite yarn. (c) optical microscopy image of the elastic composite yarn. (d) SEM image of the stretched elastic composite yarn. (e) optical microscopy image of the woven electronic fabric.
