“…In general, the fibres are composed of a core made of cotton, polyester and lycra, whilst the metals chosen for coating purposes are mainly silver, stainless steel and copper, whose characteristics are listed in Table 2 [ 4 , 21 , 22 , 27 ]. In particular, the information on the metals are reported with a higher level of detail in the works by Stoppa and Chiolerio [ 4 ] and by Kunal Singha et al [ 20 ].…”

Several wearable devices for physiological and activity monitoring are found on the market, but most of them only allow spot measurements. However, the continuous detection of physiological parameters without any constriction in time or space would be useful in several fields such as healthcare, fitness, and work. This can be achieved with the application of textile technologies for sensorized garments, where the sensors are completely embedded in the fabric. The complete integration of sensors in the fabric leads to several manufacturing techniques that allow dealing with both the technological challenges entailed by the physiological parameters under investigation, and the basic requirements of a garment such as perspiration, washability, and comfort. This review is intended to provide a detailed description of the textile technologies in terms of materials and manufacturing processes employed in the production of sensorized fabrics. The focus is pointed at the technical challenges and the advanced solutions introduced with respect to conventional sensors for recording different physiological parameters, and some interesting textile implementations for the acquisition of biopotentials, respiratory parameters, temperature and sweat are proposed. In the last section, an overview of the main garments on the market is depicted, also exploring some relevant projects under development.

“…Smart wearable textiles have been introduced to fashion articles as industrial clothing division (ICD+ jacket) with fabricated embroidered textile keypad and many other applications that can easily perform multiple functions like mobile connection and MP3 player or geosynchronous, or geostationary, earth orbit (GEO-navigation). [26] Another application of wearable textiles is using nanotechnology in stretchable textiles and wearable solar textiles. stretchable textiles (STs) that have great energy storage capacity and excellent conductivity.…”

N ANO technology has been a core of many research work for the past fifty years. Applications of nanotechnology in textiles field have increased such products value, and made these textiles as a very important part of smart inventions. Durability, comfortability, hygienic properties, UV protection, energy saving and many other properties have been achieved through using the application of nanoparticles in textiles weather through coating or encapsulation or other methods. (PANI)/polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofibers, silver nanoparticles, single/multi-walled-nano carbon tubes (SWCNT/MWCNT) and Ag, Au and Cu nanoparticles have been used in smart and smart wearable textiles such as stretchable textiles and wearable solar textiles, triboelectric nanogenerator and one-piece self-power/self-charging power textiles. Smart wearable textiles are a result of the combination between nanotechnology and smart textiles which will be the next trend of textiles research.

“…Textiles embedded with electronic devices can be classified into three major areas, smart clothing, electrical engineering (wearable electronics), and information science (wearable computers), as shown in Figure 1 [1]. Smart clothing items integrate a high level of intelligence and can be divided into three sub-groups: passive smart textiles, active smart textiles, and very smart textiles [2,3].…”

“…Generally speaking, wearable electronics textiles technology allows the wearer access to information in real time and has data-input capabilities [9]. Wearable textiles, a term used for very smart textiles, can sense, react, and adapt themselves to external conditions or stimuli, and they can be divided into active and passive smart wearable textiles, which can work with the human brain for cognition, reasoning, and activating capacity [1]. With features of mechanical flexibility, knittable integration, and wearable comfort, smart textiles have great potential in the context of wearable electronics [10,11].…”
