In this slide i am sharing introduction to E Textile and thier application in daily life .
An e-textile is a fabric developed with electronics in it to
enable conductivity and the use of various technologies.
• Electronic textiles may be embedded with sensors, batteries
LEDs and hands-free computing devices.
• The field of electronic textiles combines the worlds of
textiles and electronics, and explores techniques that
redefine construction methods .
• They usually contain conductive yarns that are either spun
or twisted and incorporate some amount of conductive
material to enable electrical conductivity.
E-Textile Applications
There are several applications of e-textiles,
ranging from healthcare to consumer goods.
Health Monitoring :
The most well-researched application of
e-textiles is medical. Specifically, the
monitoring of health conditions.
Currently, there are medical wearables
that have been invented to monitor
several aspects of a person’s health, such
as blood pressure, heart rate, and
symptoms of disease.
Worker Safety :
Occupational safety is another area where e-textiles
can provide a great deal of service. One hypothetical
use is for construction workers who are working
outdoors late at night. LED lights can be affixed to a
uniform and automatically turn on when it gets dark
outside, improving visibility.
A favorable feature among drivers is heated seats. Who
doesn’t like being blanketed in warmth while driving?
While it is often a luxury, heated seats and steering
wheels are essential for drivers in frigid temperatures.

4. There are several definitions for “e-textile” in the
world today. The terms stands for “electronic textile”
or “electronically integrated textile.”
Electronic textiles combine traditional fabrics and
fibers with electronics.
E-textiles enable the transfer of data, including
sensor data on heat, light, movement, and other local
conditions.
Electronically integrated textiles are designed
primarily with wearable computing in mind, but there
are many other applications.
5. Embedded e-textiles have their electronic
components woven together with the fabric
components. This type is more like a textile
product than an electronic product.
Laminated e-textiles have their circuitry printed
onto a non-textile material which is then bonded or
sewn to the surface of a textile. This type may
more closely resemble an electronic product than a
textile product.

8. Properties of e-textile:
• Flexible
• No wires to snag environment
• Large surface area for sensing
• Invisible to others
• Cheap manufacturing
• Permeability
• Strength
• Thermal Resistance
• Electrical resistance

11. Comfortable Driving
:
A favorable feature among drivers is heated
seats. Who doesn’t like being blanketed in
warmth while driving? While it is often a luxury,
heated seats and steering wheels are essential
for drivers in frigid temperatures.
12. Athletic Performance :
Several companies are developing garments and
accessories made from smart textiles that track
and record data based on athletes motion.
These invention could prove useful to marathon
runners when they are in the midst of training,
and are looking for ways to improve their overall
