smart textiles

Smart textiles, also known as e-textiles or electronic textiles, are fabrics embedded with advanced technologies that allow them to respond to environmental stimuli or provide interactive features. These textiles can sense changes in temperature, moisture, or movement and may even integrate systems for monitoring health or enhancing performance. Applications range from sportswear with built-in sensors to medical garments that track vital signs. Essentially, smart textiles blend traditional fabric with technology, enabling new functionalities and improving user experiences in various fields, including fashion, healthcare, and sports.
