Smart-textiles developers draw on diverse fields of knowledge to
produce unique materials with enhanced properties and vast
potential. Several disciplines outside the traditional textile area
are involved in the construction of these smart textiles, and each
individual field has its own language, specific terms and
approaches. Multidisciplinary know-how for smart-textiles
developers provides a filtered knowledge of these areas of
expertise, explaining key expressions and demonstrating their
relevance to the smart-textiles field.
Following an introduction to the new enabling technologies,
commercialisation and market trends that make up the future of
smart-textiles development, part one reviews materials employed in
the production of smart textiles. Types and processing of
electro-conductive and semiconducting materials, optical fibres for
smart photonic textiles, conductive nanofibres and nanocoatings,
polymer-based resistive sensors, and soft capacitance fibres for
touch-sensitive smart textiles are all discussed. Part two then
investigates such technologies as the embedding of electronic
functions, the integration of thin-film electronics, and the
development of organic and large-area electronic (OLAE)
technologies for smart textiles. Joining technologies are also
discussed, alongside kinetic, thermoelectric and solar energy
harvesting technologies, and signal processing technologies for
activity-aware smart textiles. Finally, product development and
applications are the focus of part three, which investigates
strategies for technology management, innovation and improved
sustainability, before the book concludes by exploring medical,
automotive and architectural applications of smart textiles.
With its distinguished editor and international team of expert
contributors, Multidisciplinary know-how for smart-textiles
developers is a key tool for readers working in industries
including design, fashion, textiles, through to electronics,
computing and material science. It also provides a useful guide to
the subject for academics working across a wide range of fields.
