E Textile!!! Future of textile industry???
Those were the days when people used to wear clothes to protect themselves from various environmental factors. And with the changing world the textile industries went through drastic changes, and from time to time people's fashion is quite changing from wearing dhoti to pants, jeans and to shorts. But if changing in fashion and designing of clothes is enough for this modern era, probably not. So comes the latest technology in textile industry which is known as Electronic textile (E-Textile). This term might be new to us, so let's find our more about this.
An electronic textile is a fabric that can conduct electricity. If it is combined with electronic components it can sense changes in its environment and respond by giving off light, sound or radio waves.. Electronic textiles (e-textiles) are fabrics that have electronics and interconnections woven into them. Components and interconnections are a part of the fabric and thus are much less visible and, more importantly, not susceptible to becoming tangled together or snagged by the surroundings. An electronic textile refers to a textile substrate that incorporates capabilities for sensing (biometric or external), communication (usually wireless), power transmission, and interconnection technology to allow sensors or things such as information processing devices to be networked together within a fabric. Electronic textiles allow little bits of computation to occur on the body. They usually contain conductive yarns that are either spun or twisted and incorporate some amount of conductive material (such as strands of silver or stainless steel) to enable electrical conductivity.
What can you expect from this technology???
In future, paths for E-Textile is limitless. As clothes are one of the essentials of life since past every body wears them everyday and everywhere (almost). With the help of E-textiles people can use them for thier different purposes in different conditions and in different ways. For example- You can control your LED light Just by your clothes which had different sensor and electricals components hidden.
We can't say anything about our own future individually but collectively, for all of us future is definitely bright.
