How does smart fabric work?

Answer 1

Smart fabrics can be constructed from almost any kind of textiles-from organza to Lycra. As far as electric properties are concerned, most get their charges from fine wires woven into the yarn of fabrics. Others utilize conductive polymers (aka organic semiconductors) or nanocomposites (materials that are created by introducing nanoparticles into sample materials) to make sensors. The sensors can take readings of a person's heart rate, body temperature, odor, etc. and then users can manipulate that data to be used for any purpose they would like. The sensors can be placed anywhere on the garment that's logical.

We have some sort of stimulated arrangement of sensors calibrated with electronic devices help to sense, process & activate the signal in well manner. The sensors provide a nerve system to detect signals. The processor analyses & evaluates the signals. The actuators act upon the detected & evaluated signal either directly or from a central control unit.

Answer 2

The very latest idea of "smart fabric" is material which contains some kind of computing facility, like silicon threads, or some advanced quality which can change colour, become waterproof when it rains, or can alert emergency services if you fall over in the street.

Answer 3

E-textiles, also known as electronic textiles, smart textiles, or smart fabrics, are fabrics that enable digital components (including small computers), and electronics to be embedded in them. Many intelligent clothing, smart clothing, wearable technology, and wearable computing projects involve the use of e-textiles.

Electronic textiles are distinct from wearable computing because emphasis is placed on the seamless integration of textiles with electronic elements like microcontrollers, sensors, and actuators. Furthermore, e-textiles need not be wearable. For instance, e-textiles are also found in interior design.
