SMART TEXTILES

Smart textiles typically embed electronic components, sensors, and other various materials seamlessly into everyday fabrics. This fusion allows for a new realm of possibilities, from garments that enhance athletic performance to fabrics that improve safety in high-risk occupations.

Smart textiles are at the forefront of innovation, blending style with cutting-edge functionality. Smart textiles, in whatever shape or form, interact with their environment and respond to various stimuli, offering more than just comfort, protection or aesthetics.

Smart textiles are so interdisciplinary and always need experts from three very different areas – textiles, electronics and IT. Depending on the final needs of the application, end-user or just project goals, there also could be a need for even more additional expert help, such as material scientists, social scientists, healthcare specialists, and so on. It is essential to know what the end goal is, what are the product requirements and limits.
