5 Definition of Smart Textile Smart Textile are materials that sense and respond in a predefined manner Sensors, Actuators, conductive materials, controling unit 5

6 Sensors Transform one type of Light into another signal (Thermal, Light, Sound, Pressure, Strain) Press Sensor Strain Sensor Textile Microphone Temperature Sensor Heart Rate Sensor 6

7 Actuator Responds to a signal and cause change (Chromic, Shape, Light) 7

8 Conductive materials Transmission of data Creating sensor and actuator structures Metal based, carbon, conductive polymer Fibre, yarns, films coatings Metal based Yarns Carbon fibre Conductive Polymer Metallic film Condcutive Coating 8
