“…Namely, the high piezo-photocatalytic efficiency enables ZnO to convert solar and mechanical energies into electricity, which is crucial for smart textiles [123][124][125][126]. Since this property is strongly dependent on structure and morphology, only ZnO grown on textile substrates in the form of a one-dimensional wurtzite nanocrystal structure, such as nanorods (NRs) and nanowires (NWs), can create a transparent conductive network with excellent electrical conductivity, low sheet resistance, and mechanical flexibility (Figure 12) [98,[146][147][148][149]. To synthesize the ZnO NR array layer in situ on the surface of textile fibers, solvothermal [89], hydrothermal [98], ultrasonic irradiation [10], sol-gel [90,95], spin-coating [150], electro-deposition [9,111], and atomic layer deposition [93] methods were recently used.…”

The use of ZnO for the functionalization of textile substrates is growing rapidly, since it can provide unique multifunctional properties, such as photocatalytic self-cleaning, antimicrobial activity, UV protection, flame retardancy, thermal insulation and moisture management, hydrophobicity, and electrical conductivity. This paper aims to review the recent progress in the fabrication of ZnO-functionalized textiles, with an emphasis on understanding the specificity and mechanisms of ZnO action that impart individual properties to the textile fibers. The most common synthesis and application processes of ZnO to textile substrates are summarized. The influence of ZnO concentration, particle size and shape on ZnO functionality is presented. The importance of doping and coupling procedures to enhance ZnO performance is highlighted. The need to use binding and seeding agents to increase the durability of ZnO coatings is expressed. In addition to functional properties, the cytotoxicity of ZnO coatings is also discussed. Future directions in the use of ZnO for textile functionalization are identified as well.

Textile electronics addresses fibers or fiber assemblies with electronic functions to generate, transmit, modulate, and detect electrons. Interactive textile electronic devices may provide suitable platforms for virtual reality (VR)/augmented reality (AR) applications because of their excellent performance and unique immersive features such as lightweight, handiness, flexibility, comfort, and low strain even under high deformations. This paper presents a systematic review of the literature on the state‐of‐the‐art of interactive devices, fabrication technologies, system integration, promising applications, and challenges involved in textile‐based VR/AR systems.
