The document discusses smart fabrics and intelligent fabrics. It defines smart fabrics as fabrics that can sense environmental conditions or stimuli, while intelligent fabrics can both sense and react to stimuli. It describes different types of smart fabrics including aesthetic fabrics that change color and performance-enhancing fabrics for applications like sports. The document outlines how smart fabrics work using components like microcontrollers and sensors. It provides examples of applications of smart fabrics like life shirts that monitor physiology and sensory baby vests that monitor infant vital functions.

4. E_TEXTILES
1. E-textiles, also known as smart garments, smart
clothing or electronic textiles are fabrics that
enable digital components such as a battery and a
light (including small computers), and electronics
to be embedded in them.
2. E-Textiles are further divided into two groups:
1. Smart Fabrics
2. Intelligent Fabrics

5. Difference Between Smart Fabric and Intelligent Fabric
 SMART FABRICS
The Fabrics which have sense or can sense the
environmental conditions or stimuli.
 INTELLIGENT FABRICS
i. The fabrics which not only can sense but also can
react and respond to environmental conditions or
stimuli.
ii. These stimuli and response can be thermal,
mechanical, chemical, magnetic, electric or from
other source.

6. CATEGORY of E-Textile
1. Passive smart materials can only sense the
environmental conditions or stimuli, they are
only sensors, they can't react.
2. Active smart materials can sense and also react to
the environmental conditions or stimuli.
3. Very smart materials can sense, react and adapt
themselves according to the environment.

7. TYPES of E-TEXTILE
 Smart textiles can be broken into two different
categories:
 Aesthetic
 Performance enhancing
 Aesthetic Textiles are fabrics that light up and
fabrics that can change color.
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
vibrations –all of which may improve athletic
performance.

8. Working of Smart Fabric
Busses, microcontrollers, Keyboards and touch pads are
embedded with smart fabrics
The microcontroller is directly connected to the fabric
The keypad shown here has been produced using ordinary
embroidery techniques and mildly conductive thread
The keypad is flexible, durable and responsive to
touch
A printed circuit board supports the components
necessary to do capacitive sensing and output key
press events as a serial data stream
