Electronic textiles, or e-textiles, are fabrics that can function electrically like electronics while maintaining physical textile properties. They enable digital components such as batteries, lights, and small computers to be embedded. Smart textiles have added functionality, such as communicating, transforming, conducting energy, or responding to inputs like vibrations or heat. Examples include fabrics that light up or change color. E-textiles have applications in athletics, extreme sports, the military, physical therapy, and protecting workers in harsh conditions like fires or cold environments. However, current e-textiles have limitations such as lack of waterproofing and low strength. Future technologies could address these issues and enable applications in clothing for children and commercialization

2. INTRODUCTION
□ Electronic textiles, are fabrics that can function electrically as
electronics and behave physically as textiles.
□ Which enable computing ,digital components and electronics to
be embedded in them.
□ Use textile manufacturing techniques.

Electronic textiles or e-textiles (often confounded with smart
textiles) are fabrics that Enable digital components such as a
battery and a light (including small computers), and electronics
to be embedded in them. "Smart textiles" are fabrics that have
been developed with new technologies that provide added
value to the wearer. Pails-Friedman of the Pratt Institute states
that "what makes smart fabrics revolutionary is that they have
the ability to do many things that traditional fabrics cannot,
including communicate, transform, conduct energy and even
grow".
Smart textiles can be broken into two different categories:
aesthetic and performance enhancing.
Aesthetic examples include fabrics that light up and fabrics that
can change colours.
Some of these fabrics gather energy from the environment by
harnessing vibrations, sound, or heat, reacting to these inputs.
The colours changing and lighting scheme can also work by
embedding the fabric with electronics that can power it.
Performance enhancing smart textiles are intended for use in
athletic, extreme sports, and military applications.
These include fabrics designed to regulate body temperature,
reduce wind resistance, and control muscle vibration – all of
which may improve athletic performance.
