Fabrication process of conductive textile based on CPs. (A) Processes starting from a CPs suspension: dip-coating (top) and screen-printing (down) [56]. (B) Automatized plant for the chemical vapor deposition of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) on a yarn [57]. (C) Schematic illustration of a modified set-up used for the wet spinning of PEDOT:PSS fibers. Inset shows the schematic illustration of the alignment of PEDOT:PSS chains during the fiber formation and the outward diffusion of excess PSS to H₂SO₄ coagulation bath. Reproduced from Ref. [34] with permission from the Royal Society of Chemistry. (D) Schematic diagram of the electrospinning setup. Adapted from [33].
