Heating and cooling temperatures of the -MWCNTs/cotton textile of  kΩ/sq using a dc power supply. (a) The -MWCNTs/cotton textile covered with one layer of -cotton sheet. (b) Schematic of the heat measurement setup. Heating and cooling temperatures at the center of the textile with time measured (c) by a thermocouple and (d) by an IR camera. (e) The increase in ultimate temperature of the -MWCNTs/cotton textile with input power (inset: thermal image at  V showing the uniform heating of the textile). (f) Changes in the temperature and current after repeated bending.
