1, intelligent textiles in the field of health monitoring: electrocardiogram (ECG) measurement ECG (ECG) measures myocardial electrical activity from the body surface.
2. Smart textiles in the field of sports health: Smart textiles are widely used in the field of sports health, such as smart sportswear and smart fitness equipment.
3. Intelligent textiles in the field of clothing: Intelligent textiles and clothing with strong functionality, convenient use and comfortable wearing are designed by combining intelligent components with traditional textiles by using technologies such as sensors, batteries and two-dimensional codes.
Expansion: Intelligent Textiles
Smart textiles (usually confused with smart textiles) are fabrics in which digital components such as batteries and lighting lamps (including small computers) and electronic products can be embedded. "Smart textiles" are fabrics developed with new technologies, which can provide added value for wearers.
Pailes-Friedman of Pratt Institute pointed out: "The significance of making smart fabrics xxx lies in their ability to perform many things that traditional fabrics can't do, including communication, conversion, energy transmission and even growth." Smart textiles can be divided into two categories: aesthetic and performance enhancement.
Examples of aesthetics include fabrics that glow and fabrics that can change color. Some of these fabrics collect energy from the environment by responding to these inputs with vibration, sound or heat. Color changes and lighting schemes can also be achieved by embedding fabrics into electronic devices that can supply power to them.
Intelligent textiles with enhanced performance are specially designed for sports, extreme sports and military applications. These include fabrics designed to regulate body temperature, reduce wind resistance and control muscle vibration-all of which can improve sports performance. Other fabrics used in protective clothing have also been developed to prevent extreme environmental hazards, such as radiation and the influence of space travel.
The health and beauty industries are also taking advantage of these innovations, from medical textiles with drug release to fabrics with moisturizing, aromatic and anti-aging properties. Many smart clothing, wearable technology and wearable computing projects involve the use of smart textiles.
