HE most significant reasons for functionalizing textiles are the enhancement of current qualities and the development of new material properties. Polymer nanocomposites provide the opportunity to create a new class of nano-finishing materials for textiles with their own system of structure-property relationships that are only indirectly connected to their components and their micron and macro-scale composite counterparts. Polymeric matrix nanocomposites made up of inorganic nanoparticles and organic polymers are a new class of materials that outperform compared to their microparticle counterparts. Incorporating inorganic nanoparticles into a polymer matrix can have a significant impact on the matrix's properties. The characteristics of polymer nanocomposites are determined by the type of nanoparticles used, their size and shape, their concentration, and their interactions with the polymer matrix. When polymer nanocomposite coatings are applied to textiles, they give materials various functionalities, as they can be used in protective fabrics, medical textiles, and conductive textiles…. Etc.

For the integration of conductive yarns in e-textiles, knitting offers structural versatility and malleability for wider product applications in the contexts of wearables and interiors. To enable mass adoption of conductive materials, it is imperative for users to be able to launder these materials as part of product maintenance. Interactive textiles knitted from polymeric optical fibres (POFs) and silver-coated conductive yarns are able to illuminate and change colours via integrated touch sensor systems. Current research only focuses on the washability and abrasion resistance of conductive yarns solely and not both POF and conductive yarn within the same fabric structure. This study is novel as it investigates the washability and abrasion resistance of POF and silver-coated conductive yarn integrated knitted textiles with different loop structures and the impact to their illuminative function. POFs were knitted within the same fabric structure by the inlay method using a 7-gauge industrial hand-operated flatbed knitting machine. This study examined how washing and abrasion affect POFs and silver-coated conductive yarn in five different knit structures, and the illuminative function of the knitted textiles. Washing and abrasion affected the resistance of conductive yarns. Scratches and bent POFs were observed after 20 gentle washing cycles. However, washing had minimal impact on the illuminative function of the knitted e-textiles examined in this study. The experiments provide evidence that e-textiles knitted with POFs and conductive yarns in the same fabric structure withstand washing and abrasion and thus have the potential for mass market adoption in fashion and interior applications.

Wearable sensors have become significant for collecting motion and health information. It is urgent to develop high-sensitivity sensors that can be used in various complex environments. Herein, we prepare an antibacterial and superhydrophobic 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorooctyltriethoxysilane (FAS)-cross-linked collagen fibers/MXene/Ag nanoparticles (FCMA) aerogel sensor. Benefiting from the microchannel structure of the FCMA aerogel, the sensor achieved high sensitivity (168.44 kPa–1) and fast response (0.2 s) and recovery (0.1 s). Meanwhile, the sensor can stably detect tiny physiological signals and large movements of human body. Importantly, owing to the low surface energy of FAS, the FCMA aerogel shows superhydrophobic and antifouling properties for application in damp or rainy conditions. The antiadhesion of superhydrophobic surface and the bactericidal effects of Ag nanoparticles make the sensor possess good antibacterial and antifungal activities, which can effectively prevent bacterial/fungi growth and protect human health. Therefore, the flexible and multifunctional FCMA aerogel sensor has versatile and promising applications in wide areas.
