Abstract:
Recent advancements in both domestic and international research have considerably enhanced the development of smart fibers and smart textile, which are now being increasingly integrated into the textile industry. Advanced textiles encompass five primary functions; sensors, data processing, actuators, storage and communication. These technologies must be effectively integrated into clothing, ensuring they meet essential requirements like comfort, durability, and resilience to routine maintenance. Designers engaged with traditional textiles might address challenges by integrating smart materials and re-evaluating their design methodologies to leverage the distinctive properties of these advanced materials.
