“…For several years, smart textiles have been a fast-growing development and there has been an increasing market for these materials. In these textiles, optical fibers can be integrated as sensors for various applications [1], for instance as monitoring of structures in civil engineering [2], seat occupancy in automotive industry [3,4,5], and position analysis [6,7]. However, these textiles are particularly interesting in the field of medical textiles.…”

The objective of this paper is to study the ability of polymer optical fiber (POF) to be inserted in a knitted fabric and to measure both pressure and friction when walking. Firstly, POF, marketed and in development, have been compared in terms of the required mechanical properties for the insertion of the fiber directly into a knitted fabric on an industrial scale, i.e. elongation, bending rigidity, and minimum bending radius before plastic deformation. Secondly, the chosen optical fiber was inserted inside several types of knitted fabric and was shown to be sensitive to friction and compression. The knitted structure with the highest sensitivity has been chosen for sock prototype manufacturing. Finally, a feasibility study with an instrumented sock showed that it is possible to detect the different phases of walking in terms of compression and friction.

“…Also, the changes in our lifestyles and usage of smart electronic devices in daily routines open the possibilities of acceptance of smart textiles as comfortable and reliable devices. Smart textiles find applications in all sectors from automotive [127,128] and sports [129,130] to buildings and interior design [131,132], but here our focus is on their use in the fight against pandemics as part of the healthcare and medicine systems and personal protective equipment.…”

Recent outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has changed the world dramatically, posing profound challenges to our healthcare infrastructure, economic systems, social and cultural life but also to our freedom. What this pandemic made us realize so far, is that, despite the tremendous advances in medicine and pharmacy, in the initial moments, which are crucial in the containment of spreading of any pandemic, the key role is played by the non-pharmaceutical measures. These measures are the ones that bridge the time between pandemic outbreaks and the development of drugs or vaccines and are crucial for the number of human lives spared. Smart textiles and novel materials as part of the personal protective equipment (PPE) and telemedicine are crucial factors in the healthcare system. Here, we present an overview on the use of textiles in the fight against pandemics, in the past and current COVID-19, we analyze the morphology of the commonly used face masks, made of cotton and typically used polypropylene (PP). We also present the perspective that smart textiles, wearable technologies and novel materials are offering in the fight against future pandemics, mainly as part of the personal protective equipment and telemedicine.
