E-Textiles, or electronic textiles, are fabrics that have been enhanced with electronic components, allowing them to interact with the environment. These textiles can include sensors, LEDs, and conductive threads, enabling a range of applications from health monitoring to interactive fashion.
The integration of technology into textiles opens up new possibilities for innovation in various fields, including sports, healthcare, and entertainment. For instance, wearable technology can track vital signs, while smart clothing can change color or pattern based on user preferences or environmental conditions.
