“…In addition, the encapsulated sample showed excellent repeatability in bending (forward direction) and compression (backward direction) compared to the unencapsulated sample. The excellent stability of the device (supercapacitor) was further confirmed by higher capacitance retention (95%) after 10,000 cycles of operation (charge-discharge) (Figure 8a) [235].…”

Flexible electronic textiles are the future of wearable technology with a diverse application potential inspired by the Internet of Things (IoT) to improve all aspects of wearer life by replacing traditional bulky, rigid, and uncomfortable wearable electronics. The inherently prominent characteristics exhibited by textile substrates make them ideal candidates for designing user-friendly wearable electronic textiles for high-end variant applications. Textile substrates (fiber, yarn, fabric, and garment) combined with nanostructured electroactive materials provide a universal pathway for the researcher to construct advanced wearable electronics compatible with the human body and other circumstances. However, e-textiles are found to be vulnerable to physical deformation induced during repeated wash and wear. Thus, e-textiles need to be robust enough to withstand such challenges involved in designing a reliable product and require more attention for substantial advancement in stability and washability. As a step toward reliable devices, we present this comprehensive review of the state-of-the-art advances in substrate geometries, modification, fabrication, and standardized washing strategies to predict a roadmap toward sustainability. Furthermore, current challenges, opportunities, and future aspects of durable e-textiles development are envisioned to provide a conclusive pathway for researchers to conduct advanced studies.

Multifunctional fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites provide an ideal platform for next-generation smart composites applications including structural health monitoring, electrical and thermal conductivity, energy storage and harvesting, and electromagnetic interference shielding without compromising their mechanical properties. Recent progress in carbon-based nanomaterials such as graphene and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) has enabled the development of many novel multifunctional composites with excellent mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties. However, the effective incorporation of such carbon nanomaterials into FRP composites using scalable, high-speed, and cost-effective manufacturing without compromising their performance is challenging. This review summarizes the recent progress on graphene and CNT-based FRP composites, their manufacturing techniques, and their applications in smart composites. Current technical challenges and future perspectives on smart FRP composites research to facilitate an essential step toward moving from research and development-based smart composites to industrial-scale mass production are also discussed.

Detection and monitoring of neural signals is a fastadvancing area of research expected to impact a broad range of advanced applications, from healthcare to brain−machine and even brain-to-brain communications. Two-dimensional (2D) layered materials, such as graphene, MXenes, and transition metal dichalcogenides, could lead to the development of superior and ultrathin thin-film electrodes for neural interfaces thanks to their atomic thickness, high-conductivity properties, and potential to combine additional functionalities. This review focuses on the recent advancement of 2D materials-based thin-film sensors for monitoring of bio-physiological signals using invasive and noninvasive approaches.
