Dopamine-mediated multilayer graphene oxide/carbon nanotube composite fabrics for dual-mode strain-responsive and joule heating applications

Key Points

• Composite fabrics exhibit effective strain-responsive properties due to dopamine mediation, creating a novel smart material.
• Strain response reaches up to 30%, offering a significant enhancement over previous materials in this domain.
• Assessment of the composites utilized a controlled laboratory setup with standard testing protocols for strain responsiveness.
• The findings highlight the potential for integrating these materials into innovative wearable technology, requiring further real-world testing.
