Abstract
Electronic textiles (e-textiles) embed sensing, actuation, power and communication into fabrics using conductive yarns, polymers and nanomaterials. This chapter consolidates conductor classes—metallic fibers, intrinsically conductive polymers, carbon nanomaterials and hybrids—and compares integration routes such as weaving/knitting and printing/coating with attention to washability and mechanical robustness. It reviews standardized electrical, mechanical and environmental tests and distills lessons from deployments in healthcare, sports and defense. Key gaps include durability after laundering, power autonomy, wearer comfort, data security and scale-up. We outline directions in self-healing and encapsulation, hybrid energy harvesting and storage, stretch-resilient interconnects and on-garment machine learning. Linking material selection to process capability and system integration, the chapter offers a decision-oriented roadmap for sustainable and user-centric smart wearables.
