Electrically controlled colour-changing textiles using the resistive heating properties of PEDOT nanofibers

Abstract

Conductive PEDOT nanofiber mats were obtained by the electrospinning of oxidant fibers and subsequent vapour-phase polymerization of the EDOT monomer. The mats presented high conductivities as well as unprecedented resistive heating properties. Electrically controlled colour-changing textiles were produced by coating thermochromic inks on the PEDOT mats and triggering the colour change by applying current to the mat.
