3.  What is Smart Textile ?
 Components in smart textiles.
 Classification of smart textiles.
 Applications of smart textiles.

5.  Three components may be present in smart
textiles (materials)
 Sensors
 Actuators
 Controlling units
 The sensors provide a nerve system to detect
signals. Some of the materials act only as
sensors and some as both sensors and
actuators. Actuators act upon the signals and
work in coordination with the controlling unit
to produce an appropriate output.

6.  Smart textiles are classified into three
categories depending on functional activity,
as follows:
 Passive smart textiles
 Active smart textiles
 Very or ultra smart textiles

7.  Passive Smart Textiles: The first generations of
smart textiles, which can only sense the
environmental conditions or stimulus, are called
Passive Smart Textiles.
 Example : UV protective clothing, multilayer
composite yarn and textiles, plasma treated
clothing, ceramic coated textiles, conductive
fibers, fabrics with optical sensors, are some
examples of passive smart textiles.

8.  Active Smart Textiles: The second generation
has both actuators and sensors. The
actuators act upon the detected signal either
directly or from a central control unit.
 Example :Phase change materials and shape
memory materials, heat sensitive dyes etc. in
textiles form active smart textiles.

9.  Ultra Smart Textiles: Very smart textiles are the
third generation of smart textiles, which can
sense, react and adopt themselves to
environmental conditions or stimuli. A very smart
or intelligent textile essentially consists of a unit,
which works like the brain, with cognition,
reasoning and activating capacities.
 For example, spacesuits, musical jackets, I-wear,
data wear, sports jacket, smart clothes, wearable
computer etc.

10.  Comfort wear
 Heat protection
 Medical applications
 Military applications
 Computing textiles
 Fashion
 Aviation
 Space research
