Smart Textiles
Literature ReviewCan conductive fiber networks be integrated into woven structures without compromising drape and durability?
Conductive yarns (silver-coated polyamide), piezoresistive coatings, base cotton/polyester blends
Comparative weaving trials at varying yarn densities, followed by conductivity mapping and flex-fatigue cycling
A structure-property model relating weave density to signal reliability under repeated deformation
Prototype a strain-sensing textile patch for joint-motion tracking
Textiles that sense, respond, and communicate sit at the intersection of fiber science and electronics. The interest here is structural — not just embedding a sensor, but understanding how the textile architecture itself carries or degrades a signal.
