Electronic textiles (e-textiles) have drawn significant attention from the scientific and engineering community as lightweight and comfortable next-generation wearable devices due to their ability to interface with the human body, and continuously monitor, collect, and communicate various physiological parameters. However, one of the major challenges for the commercialization and further growth of e-textiles is the lack of compatible power supply units. Thin and flexible supercapacitors (SCs), among various energy storage systems, are gaining consideration due to their salient features including excellent lifetime, lightweight, and high-power density. Textile-based SCs are thus an exciting energy storage solution to power smart gadgets integrated into clothing. Here, materials, fabrications, and characterization strategies for textile-based SCs are reviewed. The recent progress of textile-based SCs is then summarized in terms of their electrochemical performances, followed by the discussion on key parameters for their wearable electronics applications, including washability, flexibility, and scalability. Finally, the perspectives on their research and technological prospects to facilitate an essential step towards moving from laboratory-based flexible and wearable SCs to industrial-scale mass production are presented. IntroductionWearable electronic textiles (e-textiles) have been going through significant evolutions in recent years, due to the continuous progress of material science and nanotechnology, miniaturization, and wireless revolution. [1,2] E-textiles possess functionalities such as sensing, computation, display, and communication, [3][4][5][6]

“…Not only are these efforts beneficial at the current stage, where the e-textiles technology remains limited to highly specialized applications, but they are also expected to expedite its transition from the laboratory to the marketplace as mass commodity. Amidst this e-textile evolution, researchers will no doubt attempt to take advantage of high-performance and multifunctional materials by incorporating varying amounts of functional materials, including not only graphene and other 2D materials but also eco-friendly functional fillers, within a fibrous, bio-based, biodegradable, and recyclable textile framework . In achieving this, we must deliver a sustainable, safe environment with associated social and economic benefits over the entire product life cycle.…”

Smart wearable electronic textiles (e-textiles) that can detect and differentiate multiple stimuli, while also collecting and storing the diverse array of data signals using highly innovative, multifunctional, and intelligent garments, are of great value for personalized healthcare applications. However, material performance and sustainability, complicated and difficult e-textile fabrication methods, and their limited end-of-life processability are major challenges to wide adoption of e-textiles. In this review, we explore the potential for sustainable materials, manufacturing techniques, and their endof-the-life processes for developing eco-friendly e-textiles. In addition, we survey the current state-of-the-art for sustainable fibers and electronic materials (i.e., conductors, semiconductors, and dielectrics) to serve as different components in wearable e-textiles and then provide an overview of environmentally friendly digital manufacturing techniques for such textiles which involve less or no water utilization, combined with a reduction in both material waste and energy consumption. Furthermore, standardized parameters for evaluating the sustainability of e-textiles are established, such as life cycle analysis, biodegradability, and recyclability. Finally, we discuss the current development trends, as well as the future research directions for wearable e-textiles which include an integrated product design approach based on the use of eco-friendly materials, the development of sustainable manufacturing processes, and an effective end-of-the-life strategy to manufacture next generation smart and sustainable wearable e-textiles that can be either recycled to value-added products or decomposed in the landfill without any negative environmental impacts.

Matrices are essentially binders for the reinforcements of composite material. Appropriate selection of fine chemicals is vital for the creation of desired matrices for generating composite materials. In fact, matrix is a subclass of a composite material. Matrices are generally of four kinds such as (i) polymer (hard as well as flexible), (ii) metal, (iii) ceramic, and (iv) cement. Each type of these subclasses of the matrix is discussed with a brief of their pros and cons. Polymer matrices are generally organic based whereas metal or ceramic matrices are inorganic in nature. Hard plastic matrix as well as flexible rubbery matrix are also discussed in the light of their applications. Carbon as matrix material for hi-tech C/C (carbon/carbon) composite materials is also stated. Cement is a special kind of inorganic matrix material because of its very special solidification mechanism during the formation of concrete composite; and it carries bulk values in the engineering area. For higher temperatures, carbon, ceramic or metal matrix materials are useful. Ceramics possess various conductivities, but they have poor tensile strength despite their ability to afford high-temperature products. Generally lightweight metals such as titanium, aluminum, magnesium, and intermetallics such as Ni-aluminide and Ti-aluminide are used; and the operating temperature can be extended to 2000 °C. The advantages of metal matrices are higher strength and ductility than those of polymers. Carbon matrix based carbon/carbon (C/C) composites can be used even at the temperature of ~3000 °C, but are preferred only in critical engineering areas of applications. Different types of matrix material may also prove to be efficacious constituent item for innovative design of integrated structure in the ever challenging area of Blast and penetration resistant materials (BPRM).
