e-textiles
E-textiles, or electronic textiles, are fabrics that have been integrated with electronic components, allowing them to perform various functions. These textiles can include sensors, LEDs, and conductive threads, enabling them to monitor health, respond to environmental changes, or even light up. They are used in a variety of applications, from fashion to sports gear and medical devices.
The development of e-textiles combines traditional textile manufacturing with modern technology, creating innovative products that enhance everyday life. Researchers and companies are exploring ways to make these fabrics more comfortable, durable, and versatile, paving the way for future advancements in wearable technology and smart clothing.
