Recent Developments in Textile Materials Based on the Piezoelectricity Concept

Abstract

Textile materials stand out for presenting various characteristics that allow them to be used in technological solutions in the most diverse areas. In this sense, one may emphasize the growth in studies that cover the piezoelectric technology inserted in the textile area. This study aimed to gather the main and current innovations surrounding piezoelectric textile materials to highlight the various possibilities that this theme offers. For such, a search was carried out with keywords that relate piezoelectricity to textile materials, presenting 132.409 scientific papers published in the last five years. Lastly, this bibliographic review contributed positively to a view of opportunities inserted in the large textile area. Moreover, it was possible to observe some innovations and the ascension of the theme in terms of new developments.
