Flexible intelligence: innovations and trends in smart textiles
Intelligent materials are the textile materials of the future, from which multifunctionality and intelligent behaviour are expected. Innovators and developers are increasingly overcoming the challenges with solutions in which flexible textile materials act as the basis for an intelligent system. By integrating sensors into textile materials, we are giving them a new role.
