This presentation introduces smart textiles, which integrate microelectronics into textiles to endow them with new active properties. Smart textiles can be classified as passive, active, or ultra smart depending on their sensing and reactive capabilities. Key functions of smart textiles include sensing environmental stimuli, processing sensor data, actuating responses, storing energy, and enabling communication. Examples of smart materials discussed are thermo-regulating, chromic, luminescent, conductive, and electronic textiles. The presentation provides examples of how these materials are incorporated into and change the properties of textiles.

2. Topic: Smart Textile

3. Introduction
 Smart textile introduces a shift from passive Functionality
to active behavior
 It is The result of the integration of microelectronics in
textile to endow materials with new properties.
 The production of smart textile is now a reality after a
successful marriage of traditional textile and clothing
technology with other branches of science like material
science, structural mechanics, sensor and actuator
technology, advance processing technology ,
communication, artificial intelligence ,biology etc.

4. Definition
 Smart textile are defined as textiles that can sense and react via an active control
mechanism to environmental conditions or stimuli from mechanical, thermal, chemical,
electrical or magnetic sources

5. Classifications
Passive Smart Textile
 Can only sense the environment
 These are sensors
Active smart textile
 Can sense and react to the environmental stimuli
 These are sensors and actuators
Ultra smart textile
 Can sense, react and adapt themselves to environmental
 Cognition, reasoning and activating capacities

6. Function of smart textiles
 Sensing
 Data processing
 Actuation
 Storage
 Communication

7. Sensing
 Basically, sensing is the function of transforming a signal into another signal
that can be read and understood by a predefined reader which can be a real
device or a person.
 For real devices all the signals should be ultimately converted into electrical
ones.
 Thermocouple, quantum tunneling composite(based on soft switch
technology), fibre bragg grating sensors( basically optical fibres) are used to
convert the signals into electrical ones.

8. Data Processing
 Data processing is one of the component that are required only when active
proccssing is necessary
 Problems need to be overcome before imparting textile material for this
function are: fastness to washing , deformation, interconnection, etc.
 So far, pieces of electronics are used for data processing which are now
available in miniaturized and even in a flexible form.

9. Actuation
 Actuators respond to an impulse resulting from sensor function possibly data
processing.
 Actuators make things move , release substances ,make noise and many
more.
 Shape memory material, drug supply system(emitting substances) are the best
suiting examples in this field

10. Storage
 Sensing , data processing , actuation, communication, they usually need
energy , mostly electrical energy.
 For efficient energy management there should be an appropriate combination
of energy supply and energy storage capacity.
 Here sources of energy are –instance body heat, mechanical motion (elastic
from deformation of the fabrics, kinetic from body motion),radiation etc.
 Phase change materials or pcm acts as energy storage .

11. Communication
 It may be required
 Within one element of a suit ------ optical fibers, conductive yarns
 Between the individual element within the suit------optical fibers, conductive
yarns
 From the wearer to the suit to pass instruction------- optical fibres
 From the suit to the wearer or his environment to pass information ----
wireless connection i.e. antenna manufactured in textile material

12. Smart materials used
 Thermos regulating material
 Chromic materials
 luminescent materials
 Conductive material
 Voltaic materials
 Electronic textiles
 Etc.………

13. Thermo Regulating material
 Paraffin phase change material
 Acts as a storage of heat in garments
 Provide a thermal balance between the heat generated
by the body while engaging in a sport and the heat
released into the environment.
 PCMs are applied either in spinning or during chemical
finishing of textiles like coating, lamination etc.
PCM in textile

14. Chromic Materials
 Change their color reversibly According to external
environmental conditions
 Photochromic :external stimulus is light.
 Thermochromics : external stimulus is heat.
 Electrochromic : external stimulus is Electricity.
 Piezorochromic : external stimulus is pressure.
 Solvatechromic : external stimulus is liquid or gas.

15. Luminescent materials
 Emits lights according to external environmental conditions
 Photoluminescence: external stimulus is light
 Electroluminescent : external stimulus is electricity
 ChemioLuminescen : external stimulus is a chemical reaction
 Triboluminescence: external stimulus is friction

16. Conduction materials
 Function: it conducts electricity.
 Properties: light, weight, flexible, cost com
With ability to be crimped, soldered and
Subjected to textile processing.
 Preparation: it can be made by filling synthetic
Fibers with carbon or metal particles, coating
Fibers whit conductive polymers or using conductive fibres.

17. Voltaic materials
 Storage of energy for electronic parts
 Use of solar cells
 Photovoltaic materials possess the property
to generate electric current by means of a light
excitation.
 Research under way to produce and store electricity
from body movements and wrist rotation

18. Electronic textiles
 These are materials with electronic
functionality and at the same time
textile characteristics.
 Advantage: light weight, durable , washable ,
integratable with human body.
 Examples-----
 Smart shirt
 The sensory baby vest
 The respibelt
 The wearable computer
