“…This approach provides a reliable attachment mechanism at the cost of the textural comfort of the e-textile. Current e-textile manufacturing in industry typically combines the weaving of washable electrically conductive yarns/threads on the textile, with a lightweight and detachable portable electronic device that interfaces the user's mobile phone [27]. The woven conductive threads replace the previous use of electrical cables, offering the next level of integration.…”

Wearable devices are ideal for personalized electronic applications in several domains such as healthcare, entertainment, sports and military. Although wearable technology is a growing market, current wearable devices are predominantly battery powered accessory devices, whose form factors also preclude them from utilizing the large area of the human body for spatiotemporal sensing or energy harvesting from body movements. E-textiles provide an opportunity to expand on current wearables to enable such applications via the larger surface area offered by garments, but consumer devices have been few and far between because of the inherent challenges in replicating traditional manufacturing technologies (that have enabled these wearable accessories) on textiles. Also, the powering of e-textile devices with battery energy like in wearable accessories, has proven incompatible with textile requirements for flexibility and washing. Although current e-textile research has shown advances in materials, new processing techniques, and one-off e-textile prototype devices, the pathway to industry scale commercialization is still uncertain. This paper reports the progress on the current technologies enabling the fabrication of e-textile devices and their power supplies including textile-based energy harvesters, energy storage mechanisms, and wireless power transfer solutions. It identifies factors that limit the adoption of current reported fabrication processes and devices in the industry for mass-market commercialization.

Flexible textile‐based sensors are versatile alternatives that can be comfortably worn and can detect a broad range of body and environment temperatures. Furthermore, they are becoming more essential due to the recent rise in the use of wearable customized gadgets, wearable clothing, sports, medical and soft robotics. Typically made from rigid materials like metals or semiconductors, traditional temperature sensors are heavy, inflexible, and difficult to wear since they can only endure very slight variations in their physical shape to be placed on any irregularly shaped object. In this review, we discuss developments in textile temperature sensors with a focus on their performance, fabrication techniques, advances in various materials, and applications, such as wearable monitoring and sports. Moreover, an in‐depth analysis of different performance parameters has also been presented. Lastly, in order to provide useful guidance and directions for future study, we conclude by outlining the current limitations of this field, and future recommendations for the scientific community to further explore other facets of textile temperature devices.This article is protected by copyright.
