“…Recently, a novel technology, the so-called hydrogen evolution-assisted electroplating, was used for the deposition of Cu, improving deposition rates as compared to the conventional electroplating method [ 103 ]. Cheng et al [ 99 ] reported polydopamine pre-treated PET knitted fabric as a template for in situ hydrothermal growth of Cu NPs, with superb stability of resistance-strain behaviour in the long-time cycle test ( Figure 5 e). The designed system demonstrated its applicability as wearable strain sensors, i.e., detect real-time motion of biceps brachii, monitor the walking of shank, detect, subtle deformation of human body, detect the muscle movements during swallowing, etc., as well as electric heaters, i.e., for thermal therapy on hand.…”

The rapid growth in wearable technology has recently stimulated the development of conductive textiles for broad application purposes, i.e., wearable electronics, heat generators, sensors, electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding, optoelectronic and photonics. Textile material, which was always considered just as the interface between the wearer and the environment, now plays a more active role in different sectors, such as sport, healthcare, security, entertainment, military, and technical sectors, etc. This expansion in applied development of e-textiles is governed by a vast amount of research work conducted by increasingly interdisciplinary teams and presented systematic review highlights and assesses, in a comprehensive manner, recent research in the field of conductive textiles and their potential application for wearable electronics (so called e-textiles), as well as development of advanced application techniques to obtain conductivity, with emphasis on metal-containing coatings. Furthermore, an overview of protective compounds was provided, which are suitable for the protection of metallized textile surfaces against corrosion, mechanical forces, abrasion, and other external factors, influencing negatively on the adhesion and durability of the conductive layers during textiles’ lifetime (wear and care). The challenges, drawbacks and further opportunities in these fields are also discussed critically.

“…As knitted fabrics offer flexible and stretchable structures, the creation of knitted heating elements has attracted particular attention from the scientific community in recent years [179][180][181][182]. In this context, the heat production of two silver-coated textile yarns with different electrical resistance, embedded in a traditional wool knitted fabric, has been studied by applying various levels of electrical tension for more than one hour.…”

The exposure to extreme temperatures in workplaces involves physical hazards for workers. A poorly acclimated worker may have lower performance and vigilance and therefore may be more exposed to accidents and injuries. Due to the incompatibility of the existing standards implemented in some workplaces and the lack of thermoregulation in many types of protective equipment that are commonly fabricated using various types of polymeric materials, thermal stress remains one of the most frequent physical hazards in many work sectors. However, many of these problems can be overcome with the use of smart textile technologies that enable intelligent thermoregulation in personal protective equipment. Being based on conductive and functional polymeric materials, smart textiles can detect many external stimuli and react to them. Interconnected sensors and actuators that interact and react to existing risks can provide the wearer with increased safety, protection, and comfort. Thus, the skills of smart protective equipment can contribute to the reduction of errors and the number and severity of accidents in the workplace and thus promote improved performance, efficiency, and productivity. This review provides an overview and opinions of authors on the current state of knowledge on these types of technologies by reviewing and discussing the state of the art of commercially available systems and the advances made in previous research works.
