Smart garments
Smart materials can be passive or active and react to their environment. To make conductive fibers for smart garments, fibers can be coated with conductive materials like carbon or polymers, or spun with thin metallic or plastic threads. Metallic threads are very thin metal filaments produced through bundle drawing or metal sheet shaving that can be used as electrodes. Conductive inks can also be screen printed onto garments to add conductivity. Sensors for smart garments include body pressure, temperature, and pulse rate sensors, while power supply remains a challenge due to the need for batteries in clothing. Potential applications are in military, fashion, sports, work clothing, automotive, and life preservers.

- 3. How tocan we make conductive fibres ?? #by coating them with conductive materials (carbon,etc) #by coating them with conductive polymers or metals. #Fibres can be spun with thin metallic and plastic conductive threads.
- 4. Metallic threads- Thyare very thin metallic filaments. They are produced by bundle drawing process or shaving off from a edge of a thin metal sheet. They may also be used as electrodes for monitoring electrical physiological activity such as electrocardiogram (ECG) signals. Conductive Inks A layout can be screen-printed using conductive inks to add conductivity to specific areas of a garment. Printed areas can be subsequently used as switches or pressure pads for the activation of circuits.
