Abstract

Cotton and other cellulose fibres are preferred in the production of comfortable smart clothing due to their softness, moderate strength, shape adaptability, moisture absorbency, and moisture vapour transmission properties, which are well suited for the human body compared to synthetic fibres. These fibres offer enhanced thermo-psychological and tactical comfort. Cotton's sheen diminishes when spun into yarn due to the uneven surface formed by combining fibres. Despite its tendency to wrinkle, limited dimensional stability, and poor dye absorbency, cotton's widespread availability makes it a popular choice for comfortable, smart clothing. Modifications can further improve the comfort of these fibres. Smart textiles, incorporating sensors and instruments for information management, are renowned in textile research. However, the presence of smart materials in clothing may reduce its comfort properties. Smart clothing made from cotton and cellulose materials provides superior comfort compared to other natural and synthetic fibres.
