Smart textiles can be defined as textiles able to sense and react to environmental conditions and

external stimuli (e.g., mechanical, thermal, and chemical stimuli) thanks to a number of sensors
incorporated in the textiles.

Depending on their use, smart fabrics are created by fusing together fibers and technology. These
fibers include conductive yarns and polymers, shape memory polymers, encapsulated phase change
materials, fiber optics, and other small electronics. They may also use external additions, such as

(Smart fabrics are made by combining technology and fibers, depending on their intended function.
These fibers include fiber optics, various tiny electronics, shape-memory polymers, encapsulated
phase transition materials, and conductive yarns and polymers. They might also add things
from outside, like:)
