A flexible conductive cotton fabric was demonstrated by formulation and deposition of a graphene oxide (GO) dispersion onto a cotton fabric by vacuum filtration. The deposited GO amount was controlled by the concentration and volume of the GO dispersion. The GO was reduced by a hot press method at 1...
