“…Similar to the pressure sensors, textile-based strain sensors can be made by coating the existing textiles with conductive polymers [72][73][74] or using the conductive yarns/threads to fabricate the sensor through knitting, [75] weaving, [76] or stitching. [77] Some studies have shown that coating the textiles with concentrated conductive polymer solution can make them stiff.…”

Textronics contribute a significant part of Internet‐of‐Things (IoT), which empowers added functionalities by connecting smart clothing in a secure way for diverse applications. For the development of flexible and stretchable textile‐based electronics, a conductive material (yarn, fabric, etc.) must be used, and fabrication techniques play a vital role that significantly influences electronic textiles’ properties. Textile‐based sensors, electrodes, and other devices seem to be the favorite choice for continuous wearable monitoring due to their low cost, flexibility, and ease of embedding. Integrating smart capabilities into textiles provides substantial benefits in the fields of healthcare, sports, automobile, and military. These developments have a profound influence on the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR). This Review presents an in‐depth study of the current state of the art in the area of textile‐based electronics. The design, development, and evaluation techniques are discussed. Certain limitations and research gaps are also addressed regarding this emerging field. Critically, this Review is more application focused and indicates how the recent developments in electronic textiles will soon impact our lives. As these areas have typically been neglected in previous reviews, additional knowledge to the existing literature is provided by bridging the gap between the academic research and commercialization of wearable Textronics.

“…The woven textiles also show a gauge resistance behaviour, which is influenced by the weft density. In an example of a steel–polyester hybrid yarn, woven with a blend of polyester and cotton, the gauge sensitivity decreased with increasing density [ 45 ].…”

Electronic textiles (e-textiles) have become more and more important in daily life and attracted increased attention of the scientific community over the last decade. This interdisciplinary field of interest ranges from material science, over chemistry, physics, electrical engineering, information technology to textile design. Numerous applications can already be found in sports, safety, healthcare, etc. Throughout the life of service, e-textiles undergo several exposures, e.g., mechanical stress, chemical corrosion, etc., that cause aging and functional losses in the materials. The review provides a broad and critical overview on the functional ageing of electronic textiles on different levels from fibres to fabrics. The main objective is to review possible aging mechanisms and elaborate the effect of aging on (electrical) performances of e-textiles. The review also provides an overview on different laboratory methods for the investigation on accelerated functional ageing. Finally, we try to build a model of cumulative fatigue damage theory for modelling the change of e-textile properties in their lifetime.

“…Over the past decade, many techniques and materials have been used in order to realize textile sensors. Some approaches are sewn and embroidered with conductive thread/fabrics, or they can be painted or screen printed with conductive inks [22,23] or conductive polymers [24]. One method is to integrate conductive yarns in a textile structure, e.g., by weaving [25,26].…”

Fabric stretch sensors are available as planar fabrics, but their reliability and reproducibility are low. To find a good working setup for use in an elastic sports garment, the design of such sensors must be optimized. The main purpose of this study was to develop resistive strain sensors from stretchable conductive fabric and investigating the influence of stretchability on conductivity/resistivity. The influence of using the sensor in a sweat rich environment was also determined, in order to evaluate the potential use of the sensor in sporting garments. The sensor resistivity performance was analyzed for its sensitivity, working range, and repeatability and it was determined what makes the sensitivity when elongated or stretched. The resistivity was found to decrease with elongation if no sweat is present, this can be due to molecular rearrangement and a higher degree of orientation that improves the conductivity of a material. The result from this finding also shows that for wearable applications the commercial EeonTexTM conductive stretchable fabric did not show a considerable resistivity increase, nor a good sensitivity. The sensitivity of the sensor was between 0.97 and 1.28 and varies with different elongation %. This may be due to the mechanical deformation characteristics of knitted samples that lead to changes in conductivity. We advise that the testing performed in this paper is done by default on new stretch sensitive textile materials, so practical use of the material can be correctly estimated.
