Smart Fabrics

Smart fabrics are textiles embedded with digital or electronic components that allow them to interact with their environment or the wearer. They can monitor health, change textures or colors, and even respond to stimuli like temperature or movement. For example, smart fabrics in athletic wear may track heart rate or muscle activity, while those in fashion can change appearance based on user preferences. These advanced textiles combine traditional fabric materials with sensors, fibers, or conductive elements, enabling functionality beyond typical clothing—making them useful in healthcare, sports, fashion, and military applications.
