Phase Change Materials (PCMs)
Textiles infused with substances that absorb, store, and release heat for temperature regulation.
Conductive Fabrics
Fabrics woven with metals or conductive yarns to transmit electrical signals.
Shape Memory Alloys (SMAs)
Fabrics integrated with metal alloys that return to their original shape after deformation.
Chromic Materials
Materials that change color based on external conditions such as temperature, light, or pressure.
Piezoelectric Fabrics
Materials that generate electricity when mechanical stress is applied, utilized for sensors and energy harvesting.
Antimicrobial Fabrics
Textiles treated with substances that inhibit the growth of bacteria and other microorganisms.
Optical Fibers
Fabrics woven with fibers that transmit light, often used for aesthetic or signaling purposes.
Glow in the Dark Fabrics
Materials containing phosphorescent substances that emit light after being charged by a light source.
Moisture Wicking Fabrics
Materials designed to draw moisture away from the skin, keeping the wearer dry and comfortable.
Thermal Insulating Fabrics
Textiles that prevent the transfer of heat, used for maintaining body temperature in different climates.
Waterproof/Breathable Fabrics
Materials that prevent water penetration but allow vapor to escape, suitable for active wear.
Photovoltaic Fabrics
Textiles that incorporate solar cells to convert sunlight into electricity, used for power generation.
E-textiles (Electronic Textiles)
Fabrics that enable digital components and electronics to be embedded in them.
Aerogel-Insulated Fabrics
Materials utilizing aerogel composites for extreme thermal insulation.
Smart Diapers
Diapers embedded with sensors that alert caregivers via a mobile app when the diaper is wet.
