Recent Advances in Soft E-Textiles

摘要: E-textiles (electronic textiles) are fabrics that possesses electronic counterparts and electrical interconnects knitted into them, offering flexibility, stretchability, a characteristic length scale cannot be accomplished using other manufacturing methods currently available. However, knitting is only one of the technologies in e-Textile integration. Other technologies, such as sewing, embroidery, even single fiber-based manufacture technology, widely employed next-generation e-textiles. Components interconnections barely visible since they connected intrinsically to soft have attracted attention those fashion textile industries. These textiles can effortlessly acclimatize themselves fast-changing wearable markets with digital, computational, energy storage, sensing requirements any specific application. This mini-review focuses on recent advances field e-textiles particularly materials their functionalities.
