“…This result further confirms the potential applicability and outstanding performance of the rGO/AgNW fabric. 57,58 As the human body contains several bacteria that can be spread by humans, antibacterial activity/performance is imperative for the commercialization of conductive fabrics. 59 To explore the antibacterial activity of the rGO/AgNW fabric, we conducted bacterial tests using S. aureus (ATCC 6538) and E. coli (ATCC 8739), as shown in Figure 5e,f and Table 4.…”

Wearable electronic textiles are used in sensors, energyharvesting devices, healthcare monitoring, human−machine interfaces, and soft robotics to acquire real-time big data for machine learning and artificial intelligence. Wearability is essential while collecting data from a human, who should be able to wear the device with sufficient comfort. In this study, reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and silver nanowires (AgNWs) were supersonically sprayed onto a fabric to ensure good adhesiveness, resulting in a washable, stretchable, and wearable fabric without affecting the performance of the designed features. This rGO/AgNW-decorated fabric can be used to monitor external stimuli such as strain and temperature. In addition, it is used as a heater and as a supercapacitor and features an antibacterial hydrophobic surface that minimizes potential infection from external airborne viruses or virus-containing droplets. Herein, the wearability, stretchability, washability, mechanical durability, temperature-sensing capability, heating ability, wettability, and antibacterial features of this metallized fabric are explored. This multifunctionality is achieved in a single fabric coated with rGO/AgNWs via supersonic spraying.

“…The smart garment developed for this purpose was prototyped with an inductive sensor formed by sewing a copper wire into an elastic fabric in a zigzag pattern. Heo et al [ 50 ] proposed a flexible glove sensor—which included stretchable and flexible PDMS films—to monitor upper extremity prosthesis functions. Other researchers studied new arrangements of materials for biomedical applications, Jin et al [ 21 ] studied a highly durable nanofiber-reinforced metal elastomer composite consisting of metal fillers, an elastomeric binder matrix, and electro-spun PVDF nanofibers to enhance both cyclic stability and conductivity, showing a good continuous long-term monitoring of ECG, EMG signal, and motions during weightlifting exercises without significant degradation of signal quality.…”

The use of e-textile technologies spread out in the scientific research with several applications in both medical and nonmedical world. In particular, wearable technologies and miniature electronics devices were implemented and tested for medical research purposes. In this paper, a systematic review regarding the use of e-textile for clinical applications was conducted: the Scopus and Pubmed databases were investigate by considering research studies from 2010 to 2020. Overall, 262 papers were found, and 71 of them were included in the systematic review. Of the included studies, 63.4% focused on information and communication technology studies, while the other 36.6% focused on industrial bioengineering applications. Overall, 56.3% of the research was published as an article, while the remainder were conference papers. Papers included in the review were grouped by main aim into cardiological, muscular, physical medicine and orthopaedic, respiratory, and miscellaneous applications. The systematic review showed that there are several types of applications regarding e-textile in medicine and several devices were implemented as well; nevertheless, there is still a lack of validation studies on larger cohorts of subjects since the majority of the research only focuses on developing and testing the new device without considering a further extended validation.

“…In another work of Heo et al, silver nanowires were drop-coated on a PES-Spandex textile composite with PDMS to create a stretch sensor. No aging affect was observed after 2000 bending cycles with an angle from 0° to 150° [ 100 ]. These examples on polymer films demonstrated the use of the accelerated aging test method to prove the reliability of conductive coatings within a certain strain range.…”

Electronic textiles (e-textiles) have become more and more important in daily life and attracted increased attention of the scientific community over the last decade. This interdisciplinary field of interest ranges from material science, over chemistry, physics, electrical engineering, information technology to textile design. Numerous applications can already be found in sports, safety, healthcare, etc. Throughout the life of service, e-textiles undergo several exposures, e.g., mechanical stress, chemical corrosion, etc., that cause aging and functional losses in the materials. The review provides a broad and critical overview on the functional ageing of electronic textiles on different levels from fibres to fabrics. The main objective is to review possible aging mechanisms and elaborate the effect of aging on (electrical) performances of e-textiles. The review also provides an overview on different laboratory methods for the investigation on accelerated functional ageing. Finally, we try to build a model of cumulative fatigue damage theory for modelling the change of e-textile properties in their lifetime.
