“…Sahta et al [ 102 ] developed textile-based sewn switches by using commercially available conductive thread based on silver-coated multifilament polyamide thread and often used to connect devices within e-textile structures. Silver-coated multifilament polyamide yarns are elastic, flexible, and with respect to their textile properties, correspond to the “conventional” textile yarns.…”

Modern electronic textiles are moving towards flexible wearable textiles, so-called e-textiles that have micro-electronic elements embedded onto the textile fabric that can be used for varied classes of functionalities. There are different methods of integrating rigid microelectronic components into/onto textiles for the development of smart textiles, which include, but are not limited to, physical, mechanical, and chemical approaches. The integration systems must satisfy being flexible, lightweight, stretchable, and washable to offer a superior usability, comfortability, and non-intrusiveness. Furthermore, the resulting wearable garment needs to be breathable. In this review work, three levels of integration of the microelectronics into/onto the textile structures are discussed, the textile-adapted, the textile-integrated, and the textile-based integration. The textile-integrated and the textile-adapted e-textiles have failed to efficiently meet being flexible and washable. To overcome the above problems, researchers studied the integration of microelectronics into/onto textile at fiber or yarn level applying various mechanisms. Hence, a new method of integration, textile-based, has risen to the challenge due to the flexibility and washability advantages of the ultimate product. In general, the aim of this review is to provide a complete overview of the different interconnection methods of electronic components into/onto textile substrate.

Garment parts are fused with an interlining for achieving a specific handle, form and fall. Fusing helps in ease of construction of garment parts enabling pucker-free and clean look in finished products. The properties of the fused components are considered essential for enhancing garment aesthetics and functionality. The main objective of this review is to elaborate the factors affecting the properties of fused fabric composites, the methods to evaluate the same and explore the models that aid in better selection of interlinings for a specific hand and functionality. Interlinings are available in a variety of fibre content, base fabric structure, weight, finish, resin type and resin content. These attributes influence the characteristics of fused fabric composites. They are essential criteria in interlining selection for a given application. Mechanical properties used to evaluate and predict the fused fabric behaviour objectively are discussed. The most important mechanical properties that describe the characteristics of fused fabric composites are bending rigidity, shear rigidity, tensile properties, drape and dimensional stability of the component fabrics. Objective and subjective methods used to evaluate these properties are elaborated. The methods employed in determining the optimum fusing conditions and fused composite quality include theoretical, statistical, numerical, and computational modelling. A better understanding of the properties of fused fabric composites leads to optimisation in the interlining selection and fusing process for a given hand feel and application.

“…E-textiles, that is, normal fabrics that integrate multifunctional electronics such as circuits [1], sensors [2][3][4], displays [5,6], switches [7], monitors [8], medical diagnostic components [9], have demonstrated great potential and are rapidly gaining wide attention owing to the enormous demand for wearable technologies in recent years [10,11]. However, with the recent progress in multifunctional e-textiles, application of conventional energy storage devices (batteries and supercapacitors) is not possible, considering the heavy-weight, lack of comfort, flexibility, and free maintenance, and the need for frequent charging [12].…”

Despite rapid developments, multifunctional wearable electronics are still not significant in practical applications as compared to portable and stretchable power devices. In this paper, we present the flexible and easy large-scale production of single-electrode mode triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) and supercapacitor yarn-based self-charging power fabric, for simultaneously converting and storing biomechanical energy. Fabricated using traditional knitting technologies, the self-charging power fabric can adapt to complex mechanical deformations owing to its high flexibility and stretchability. Additionally, the output characteristics of the TENG fabric were systematically investigated with the purpose of energy generation. The TENG fabric can generate a maximum peak power density of ∼90 mW·m−2 using nylon as the contact material, with an operating frequency of 4 Hz. The as-prepared yarn-based supercapacitor exhibited high capacitance, good cycling stability, and flexibility, making it an appropriate wearable energy-storage device. Moreover, the proposed design uses energy harvested from biomechanical motions to sustainably power portable electronic devices. The results of this study indicate that the proposed design is a promising sustainable power source for wearable electronic devices.
