“…The review of fbre-based devices [101] focuses on materials, fbres' processing, textile integration, and related topics, while also drawing a roadmap of future applications. To a similar extent, two articles found [102,126] examine nanomaterials and nanotechnology, along with surrounding eforts, such as textile-integration work. Bus structures and interconnections for eTextiles have been reviewed also [1], as has the fabrication of eTextile devices and their power supplies [58].…”

“…Alongside reports on individual projects and pieces discussing the same project from alternative angles, our survey identifed nine literature reviews focusing on topics adjacent to woven eTextiles. While none of the reviews provide the depth of detail on the textile structures that some other sources do, each of these articles features some examples of woven eTextiles [1,17,29,35,58,101,102,112,126]. We include them here because they go into the links to woven-eTextile-related topics and present overviews of these, but they are excluded from our detail-level analysis since they lack the required depth.…”

Advances to functional materials and fexible electronics have yielded new means of integrating electrical properties into textile materials, which invite researchers in various felds to apply woven-textile construction methods in eTextile development. However, common ground for woven eTextiles' prototyping is still taking shape. This calls for greater understanding of how the knowledge now scattered across diverse research felds can beneft the textiles' development for HCI. To investigate how eTextile research has employed weaving and extract insight for HCI purposes, the authors reviewed and categorised applications of woven structures and electrical functions, then identifed specifcally HCI-relevant qualities and means of creating them via weaving. The paper outlines those woven structures useful for HCI and advocates consistent weaving-related terminology, to improve knowledge transfer across disciplines. In addition, the results point to research opportunities involving haptic qualities, the ability to weave multiple layers, functionality integration, and tools and methods.

“…Several techniques have been used to formulate textiles with AgNPs: the in situ thermal reduction, sonication, padding, dip-coating, spray, exhaustion, layer-by-layer, and electrospinning. However, numerous studies reported the potential uncontrolled leaching behavior of AgNPs, becoming a relevant environmental and health problem [ 9 , 10 , 11 ]. There is a need for new strategies to increase the stability of AgNPs on the fabrics.…”

Stabilization of Silver Nanoparticles on Polyester Fabric Using Organo-Matrices for Controlled Antimicrobial Performance

et al. 2022

Antimicrobial textiles are helpful tools to fight against multidrug-resistant pathogens and nosocomial infections. The deposition of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) onto textiles has been studied to achieve antimicrobial properties. Yet, due to health and environmental safety concerns associated with such formulations, processing optimizations have been introduced: biocompatible materials, environmentally friendly agents, and delivery platforms that ensure a controlled release. In particular, the functionalization of polyester (PES) fabric with antimicrobial agents is a formulation in high demand in medical textiles. However, the lack of functional groups on PES fabric hinders the development of cost-effective, durable systems that allow a controlled release of antimicrobial agents. In this work, PES fabric was functionalized with AgNPs using one or two biocompatible layers of chitosan or hexamethyldisiloxane (HMDSO). The addition of organo-matrices stabilized the AgNPs onto the fabrics, protected AgNPs from further oxidation, and controlled their release. In addition, the layered samples were efficient against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. The sample with two layers of chitosan showed the highest efficacy against S. aureus (log reduction of 2.15 ± 1.08 after 3 h of contact). Against E. coli, the sample with two layers of chitosan showed the best properties. Chitosan allowed to control the antimicrobial activity of AgNPs, avoid the complete loss of AgNPs after washings and act in synergy with AgNPs. After 3 h of incubation, this sample presented a log reduction of 4.81, and 7.27 of log reduction after 5 h of incubation. The antimicrobial results after washing showed a log reduction of 3.47 and 4.88 after 3 h and 5 h of contact, respectively. Furthermore, the sample with a final layer of HMDSO also presented a controlled antimicrobial effect. The antimicrobial effect was slower than the sample with just an initial layer of HMDSO, with a log reduction of 4.40 after 3 h of incubation (instead of 7.22) and 7.27 after 5 h. The biocompatibility of the composites was confirmed through the evaluation of their cytotoxicity towards HaCaT cells (cells viability > 96% in all samples). Therefore, the produced nanocomposites could have interesting applications in medical textiles once they present controlled antimicrobial properties, high biocompatibility and avoid the complete release of AgNPs to the environment.

“…The term 'smart textiles' is used to describe those fabrics that, thanks to the integration of specific digital tools, devices, and sensors, show supplementary features which make them sensitive to environmental conditions and/or able to interact with the end-user [1][2][3][4][5]. These technologies are recently receiving growing interest for extensive applications in different fields spanning from the safety industry to the healthcare and fashion industry [6].…”

Photochromic Textiles Based upon Aqueous Blends of Oxygen-Deficient WO3-x and TiO2 Nanocrystals

et al. 2022

With the main objective being to develop photochromic smart textiles, in this paper, we studied the photochromic behavior of WO3-x nanocrystals (NCs) cooperatively interacting with variable amounts of TiO2 NCs. We tested several blends of WO3-x:TiO2 NCs, admixed in different compositions (relative molar ratio of 4:0, 3:1, 2:2, 1:3, 0:4) and electrostatically interfacing because of opposite values of Z-potential, for photo-induced chromogenic textiles. We further monitored the photochromic sensitivity of NC-impregnated textiles after exposure to a few solvents (i.e., methanol, ethanol, and isopropanol) or when over-coated with different polymeric matrices such as natural cellulose or ionic conductive Nafion. The optimization of the compositions of the WO3-x:TiO2 blends embedded in polymeric matrices, allowed the nanostructured photochromic textiles to show rapid and tunable coloration (<5 min) and bleaching kinetics (~5 in at 75 °C or 6 h at room temperature) along with good recovery and cycling stability. This study features a simple strategy for the widespread application of WO3-x:TiO2-based photochromic smart textiles.
