Smart fabrics, also referred to as smart garments, smart textiles, electronic textiles, or smart clothing, are a type of material in which digital elements and electronic devices, such as LEDs, batteries, integrated circuits, conductors, and others, are incorporated to provide the wearer with additional benefits. Smart Fabrics can be defined as improving both appearance and performance. Numerous materials, including cotton, polyester, nylon, and Kevlar, among others, can be used to create these fabrics. Additionally, producers are concentrating on creating textiles that are electrically conductive, such diodes, solar cells, transistors, conductors, and resistors. Additionally, smart materials, encapsulated phase change materials, electronic sensors, shape memory polymers, and communication technology are all included in smart textiles.
