Textiles are ubiquitous in many applications, spanning fashion, furnishings, automotive, aerospace, military and medical applications. Adding electronic functionality to textiles, either directly via electronic yarns or indirectly via printing or integration adds further value to the key textile qualities of comfort, protection and aesthetic. Unlike more familiar forms of wearable technology, electronic textiles and smart textiles don’t require PCBs or other cumbersome hardware components, as sensors and circuits are integrated directly into a garment or coating.
