In recent years, smart textiles have attracted the attention of scholars from all walks of life, but there is an imbalance between functionality and usability, which affects their marketization process. Firstly, five representative smart textiles are introduced and their respective wearability is described around preparation methods. Secondly, it is concluded that the preparation methods of smart textiles can be divided into two categories: fiber methods and finishing methods. The fiber methods refer to making smart fibers into smart textiles. Textiles made by fiber methods are breathable and feel good in the hand, but the mechanical properties are influenced by the production equipment, and the process cost is high. The finishing methods refer to the functional finishing of ordinary textiles. Although the finishing method is simple and convenient, it may reduce the comfort of the textile. Finally, applications and new research in various fields of smart textiles are presented with promising prospects. It is anticipated that this review will serve as a theoretical basis for future research and development of smart textiles. Researchers are expected to create new technologies to overcome the tension between functionality and usability, as well as to increase user comfort and convenience. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
