Smart textiles represent the next generation of clothing and are defined as the textiles that can sense or detect stimuli from the environment and react or adapt to the changes in a programmed way. Smart textiles are assisting in improving athletes’ performance by regulating the body temperature, controlling muscle vibrations, and monitoring heart rate during the workout. Smart textiles have a huge impact on sports, fitness, and military industries. Smart textiles offer protection against hazardous environmental conditions, including radiations and toxic gases, and help military & defense forces to be safe.

Based on the product type, smart textiles can be divided into 3 types:

1. Passive Smart Textiles: These fabrics are known as the first generation of smart clothing, which can only perceive environmental stimuli. Passive smart fabrics contain only sensors for detecting external conditions.
2. Active Smart Textiles: This second generation of smart clothing includes both sensors and actuators. Active smart textiles have the capability to sense as well as react to thermal, chameleonic, water repellent, and many other changes.
3. Ultra Smart Textiles: These fabrics are known as the third generation of smart clothing, which can sense, react, and adapt to environmental changes as needed. These textiles are expected to have some capabilities of reasoning as well as cognition.
