Introduction
 Nowadays, the wearable smart textile, e-textile technologies are growing very
fast. Smart textiles are textiles with integrated sensors, data processing,
communication and power units and can be regarded as a new application
field for microelectronic devices. It largely benefits from a series of recent
developments: sensors become smaller, more reliable and require less power.
Goal and Motivation
 Wearables are a fast evolving field and consists among other things of electronic
parts as well as smart textiles such as conductive or light emitting yarns.
 They are useful for several applications in different fields such as: healthcare,
sports, space exploration and gaming.
 It largely benefits from a series of recent developments: sensors become smaller,
more reliable and require less power.
 In the near future we indeed will have textiles with an integrated battery less
sensor network which will continuously monitor the health of patients, soldiers
or you yourself.
Various Approaches
 Approach 1:Smart textiles can sense and react to environmental conditions or
stimuli from mechanical, thermal, chemical, electrical or magnetic sources.

 Approach 2: Light-emmiting clothes and luminous dresses are the typical and
commercial examples for esthetic smart textiles and made by using different
features used such as sensors, data processing…etc.

Methodology
1.1Definition of smart textile:
Smart textile are defined as textiles that can sense and react to
environmental conditions or stimuli from mechanical, thermal,
chemical, electrical or magnetic sources.

1.2 Classification of smart textiles:


 Passive Smart Textiles
 Active Smart Textiles
 Ultra Smart Textiles
1.2.1 Positive Smart Textile:
 Can only sense the environment.
 These are sensors.

1.2.2 Active Smart Textile:


 Can sense and react to the environmental stimuli.
 These are sensors and actuators.

1.2.3 Ultra Smart Textile:


 Can sense, react and adopt themselves to environment.
 Cognition, reasoning and activating capacities.
1.3 Some characteristics of fibers used in smart textile :
 It should have high strength.
 It should be high chemical and combustion-resistant organic fiber.
 It should be high modulus organic fiber.
 It can be Ultra-fine and novelty fiber.
 It should be high performance inorganic fiber.
 It should a dynamic innovation for textile sector.
1.4 Smart materials used :
 Thermo regulating material
 Chromic materials

 Luminescent materials

 Conductive material

 Voltaic materials

 Electronic textiles

Etc….
1.4.1Thermo regulating material:
 Acts as a storage of heat in garments.
 Provide a thermal balance between the heat generated
by the body while engaging in a sport and the heat
released into the environment.
 PCMs are applied either in spinning or during chemical
finishing of textiles like coating, lamination etc.

1.4.2 Chromic materials:


 Chromic materials may be defined as dyes and pigments
that exhibit a distinct colour change when exposed to an
external stimulus,especially when the change is reversible
and controllable.
1.4.3 Luminescent materials:
 Emits lights according to external environments
conditions.
 Photoluminescene: external stimulus is light
 Electroluminescene: external stimulus is electricity
 Cheminoluminescene: external stimulus is a chemical
reaction
 Triboluminescene: external stimulus is friction

1.4.4 Conductive materials:


 It conducts electricity.
 It can be made by filling synthetic fibers with carbon
metal particles, coating fibers with conductive polymers
or using conductive short fibers.
1.4.5 Voltaic materials:
 Storage of energy for electronic parts
 Use of solar cells
 Photovoltaic materials possess the property to
Generate electric current by means of a light
excitations.

1.4.6 Electronic textiles:


 These are materials with electronic functionality
and at the same time textile integratable characterstics.
 Examples:-
 Smart shirt
 The sensory Baby Vest
 The wearable computer
 The respibelt
1.5 Working Principle of Smart Textile:
1.5.1Functions of smart textiles:

Sensing
Data processing
Actuation
Storage
Communication
Sensing:
The basis of a sensor is that it transforms a signal into another signal that can be
read and understood by a predefined reader, which can be a real device or a
person. As for real devices, ultimately most signals are being transformed into
electric ones.

Data processing:
Data processing is one of the components that are required only when active
processing is necessary. The main bottleneck at present is the interpretation of
the data. Textile sensors could provide a huge number of data,large variations of
signals between patients, complex analysis of stationary and time dependent
signals, lack of objective standard values, lack of understanding of complex
interrelationships between parameters.
Actuation:
Actuators respond to an impulse resulting from the sensor function, possibly
after data processing. Actuators make things move, they release substances,
make noise, and many others.

Storage:
Smart suit often need some storage capacity. Storage of data or energy is most
common, sensing, data processing, actuation, communication; they usually need
energy, mostly electrical power.

Communication:
For intelligence textiles, communication has many faces: communication may be
required within one element of a suit, between the individual elements within the
suit, from the wearer to the suit to pass instructions, from the suit to the wearer
or his environment to pass information.
Advantages
 Light weight
 Durable
 Washable
 Integrable with human body
 Monitoring systems
 Usable in security authentication

Disadvantage
 Needs to be charged
 Bulky
 Expensive
Application
 They are useful for several applications in different fields such as: healthcare,
sports, defense, life jacket, entertainment wear, protective purpose, spacesuit
technology and gaming.
 Other useful examples of applications such as:
 Heart condition monitoring
 Electroencephalography (EEG)
 Breath monitoring of an infant
 Urine detection
 Electric Stimulation of Fingertips
 Wound healing bandages
Some re known company that produce smart textile Hovding :
MOON BERLIN
UTOPE
WarmX
MORITZ WALDEMEYER
Etc…..
Conclusion
 Smart textiles are the most exciting innovation in the field of textile
engineering. The development of smart textiles reaches far beyond
imagination; some stories may seem science fiction.
 The economic value and impact of smart textiles is gigantic. The advent of
smart textiles makes it possible to being the traditional textile sector to a
level of high-technological industry.
 Moreover, it appears that this is only possible by intense co-operation
between people from various backgrounds and disciplines such as
microelectronics, computer science, material science, polymer science,
biotechnology, etc. Also more researchers needs to make it more convenient
in our practical life.
