Abstract

As technology grows more and more ingrained in our daily lives, high-tech fabrics play ever-larger roles. Materials that perceive and respond to stimuli or environmental circumstances are known as smart textiles. Phase-change materials for thermoregulation, chromatic materials that alter color in reaction to environmental changes, and shape-memory polymers that alter form in response to temperature variations are a few examples. Interfaces, microprocessors, inputs (sensors), outputs (actuators), software, energy (batteries and solar panels), and materials (electronic textiles and improved materials) are the primary technological components utilized in the production of stylish wearables. Additionally, 3D printing has becoming increasingly important in the fashion industry, and designers are becoming much more aware of and interested in this technology.
