This paper characterizes the use of the emerging solution blow spinning technique to create conductive carbon nanotube-PLA composite nanofibers. Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) were combined in various solvents to produce conductive fiber mats. In addition, the authors were able to tune the conductivity of the fiber mats by modifying the MWCNT concentration. Conductive fiber mats were able to reach conductivity values as high as 474 S/cm which is more than 2 × higher than the ubiquitous germanium. Conductive fiber mats will be later used as sensors in wound healing applications. A simple light emitting diode circuit featuring the fiber mat was developed as a proof of concept toward this biomedical sensing application.
本文描述了新兴的溶液吹纺技术在制备导电碳纳米管-PLA 复合纳米纤维中的应用。将聚乳酸（PLA）和多壁碳纳米管（MWCNT）分别溶解在不同的溶剂中，以制备导电纤维垫。此外，通过改变 MWCNT 的浓度，作者可以调节纤维垫的导电性。导电纤维垫的电导率高达 474 S/cm，比普遍使用的锗高 2 倍以上。导电纤维垫将被用作伤口愈合应用中的传感器。为了验证这种生物医学传感应用的概念，开发了一种简单的发光二极管电路，该电路采用纤维垫作为特色。
