Abstract

The use of nanotechnology in various types of textiles revolutionized the industry. Bulletproof jumpsuits, invisible coatings, advanced fibers, and fabric touchpads have transformed traditional textiles into smart textiles. Artificial muscles, also known as ICPs (inherently conductive polymers), are made from nanomaterials that mimic biological muscles. Fabrics coated with silver nanoparticles are the most effective antibacterial bandages or dressings. New advancements allowed usage of pressure pads which have nanoparticles of gold, nickel, and so on incorporated into it. The piezoelectric capabilities of carbon doped polymers used in iPod controls and fabric switches are preserved. Woven optical fibers are used in textiles for a variety of purposes, including light transmission, sensing, deformation detection, and data transmission. Another approach for the transfer of graphic and multicolored surfaces is light emitting fabrics. Fabrics made with phase change materials act as a thermostat, ensuring that the desired temperature is maintained.
