Description The research field of Smart Textiles is currently witnessing a rapidly growing number of applications integrating intelligent functions in textile substrates.
The third part of the book starts by describing the state of the art of research on Production Technologies for the integration of conductive Materials into textile substrates, which include weaving, kn.
The full catalogue is reported in the appendix.
This chapter develops the classification further and implements it in a catalogue to be used by practitioners from research and industry when developing and designing Textiles with sensing capabilities. have suggested a structure for a classified catalogue as knowledge basis to support the Smart textile product development process.
Bosowski et al.
While numerous textile-based sensors, ranging from sensing fibers to coatings and three-dimensional structures, have been developed, their specific properties and usage are not clear.
Next, textile-based sensors are introduced.
Special attention is given to Materials for the realization of electrical conductivity in textiles, as these are crucial for the following Overview on Sensor and Production technologies.
After an introduction to Smart Textiles and their market relevance, different material types for functional Textiles are described along with their properties, application areas, and product examples.
It will also help textile and electronics manufacturers to understand which Production Technologies are suitable to meet certain product requirements.
It will help designers to understand the possibilities of Smart textile production, so that they are enabled to design this type of products.
This book is intended to provide an Overview of materials, Production technologies, and product concepts to different groups concerned with Smart textiles.
With an increasing amount of new developed product prototypes, the number of Materials used and that of specially designed Production Technologies are also growing.
