Smart textile
Smart textiles means intelligent textiles.
During the last decade, textiles have entered a new era, one of
the is smart textiles.
It can sense and react to environmental condition or stimuli.
It can also sense and respond in a predetermined way.
Components
There are three components
in smart textile material
Sensor
Sensors provide a nerve system
to detect signals.
Actuator
Actuators act upon the signals.
Controlling Units
Controlling Units produce an
appropriate output.
 There are three categories
Classification depending on functional activity:
Passive smart textile
Using sensor only.
Only sense the environment change.

Active smart textile

Using sensor and actuator.
Sense and react with environmental
changing.

Very or ultra smart textile

Sensor, actuator and controlling unit
present in textile.
Can sense, react and adapt
themselves to environment.
End Use
Smart textile used for the
following broad categories:

Heat protection
Medical application
Military application
Fashion
Comfort wear
Aviation
Space research
This garment is used to monitor Spacesuit
ECG waves and Heart rate levels. Technology
This can be used for sports,
fitness, and medical purposes
Methods of making smart textile
Components of smart textile
may be acting from fiber optics,
phase change material, shape
memory material etc.
Those components from an
integrated part of textile
structure and can be
incorporated into the substrate
at any of the following levels.
Fiber spinning level
Yarn / Fabric formation level
Finishing level
Sensor for recording
Life shirt which are weaved
by special technique with
optical fiber.
This optical fiber transmit
human physiological
parameter.
Also intelligent shirt
monitors presence of
poisonous gases in the air
and protect human body from
it.
Sensor for recording

In construction, sensor
laid in composite
structures can be used to:
Monitor strain and
temperature through out a
composite structure
Detection of crack in
composite structure
Monitor concrete
structure.
