Abstract
New materials have historically provided designers and architects with fresh ideas for design problems. More recently, as nanotechnology has advanced, sustainable needs have become more of a concern for architectural applications. The ability to create smart textiles is made possible by the availability of nanomaterials and nanodevices. However, the commercial production of smart fabrics is becoming more common, and their uses in modern architecture are expanding. Using self-healing, antibacterial, antifouling coatings that are self-healing and have other smart properties adds intelligence to textiles. To create nanodevices that give textiles intelligence, other nanomaterials such as conductive ink, conductive polymers, conductive threads, etc., are used. In this chapter, the general overview of smart materials is highlighted. The chapter also presents the most recent advances in architectural smart textile applications. Finally, it highlights the most recent investigations on novel methods for architectural smart textiles.
