What is Smart Clothing?

Whether in the world of women's clothing or the world of children's clothing, competition in various fields is heating up, and smart clothing is no exception. Smart clothing was originally a cutting-edge field. As the clothing industry became more and more prosperous, businesses with sensitive noses widened their original small market space. In the next few years, our wardrobes will be stuffed with such smart clothes-"smart shirts" that can read the human heartbeat, temperature, and breathing rate; jackets that can automatically play music; and text and Graphic T-shirts ... American technology media predicts that the future of clothing will become a true "multifunctional portable high-tech product", and one piece of clothing can play music, videos, regulate temperature, and even surf the Internet.

When it comes to "smart clothing," we quickly think of

The "smart clothing" market is expanding, and some large foreign apparel companies have also entered this market. India's Madura clothing company launches the Icetouch series

Designers will continue to make a fuss about colors and styles, but another high-tech smart clothing will also come out. In addition to the cover, cold protection and landscaping of ordinary clothing, these clothes also have other functions such as anti-perspirant, automatic color change and information transmission. Due to the huge market potential of smart clothing, chemical companies, garment factories and electronic equipment manufacturers have invested in development. The following is a brief introduction to the current development of smart clothing in the United States.

Smart clothing is beautiful

According to the experts' assumptions, in the future, after wearing pants made of smart fabrics, as long as the button is pressed, the waist circumference will be widened or reduced at will; or the color of the pullover will be changed from blue to green to match the beloved skirt. DuPont's central research department is implementing a new fiber research program that has the electrical conductivity of electrical wires and can respond to electrical, thermal, and pressure signals. DuPont scientists process traditional circular fibers into ovals, squares, and triangles, so that micro-wings of different materials can be woven into the core fiber, just like the blades of a propeller. These modified fibers can be expanded or reduced, cooled or heated, and the color can be changed at will according to the requirements of the wearer.

Smart clothing is easy

Nano-Tex, an American company known for using nanotechnology to produce high-tech fibers, is experimenting with the effects of a sock. These socks are made of molecular-grade sponges and can absorb sour odorous hydrocarbons that cause human odors. These odorous substances are released only when they encounter detergent in the washing machine. A researcher said that with this new fabric, a sweatshirt will not emit sweaty odor even if it is worn three or four times. In addition, Motorola is developing a garment that can communicate with a washing machine and issue instructions on how to wash clothes.

Smart clothing communication

Scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology are trying to embed electronic devices such as phones and computers into clothing. Their research program has attracted several sponsors, including the Dutch company Philips. Philips has partnered with jeans manufacturer Strauss to launch a jacket with a built-in mobile phone and MP3 player. Unfortunately, it is too bulky and still has to be improved. The digital clothing that scientists will develop in the future is that the soft screen is as smooth and bright as silk, the small buttons are as delicate as buttons, and the photovoltaic cells are designed as decorations, which are diluted into a pocket or a patch. The goal of digital clothing is "augmented reality", that is, the combination of the real world and the virtual world. It is like adding a menu to the normal scene of the real world. Through this menu, people can freely communicate information anytime, anywhere.

Smart clothing health

The American company Sensatex plans to launch a sports T-shirt that can monitor heart rate, body temperature, breathing, and how many calories are consumed. This T-shirt can alert the wearer in time when a heart attack or collapse occurs, thereby reducing the probability of sudden death. The company's first smart clothing looks like a soft ribbed cotton sweater, but in reality conductive fibers are intertwined with cotton fibers, which can receive data from embedded sensors and transmit it to a credit card-sized Among the special receivers. This receiver is placed on the waist, can store information, and then display it on a mobile phone, home personal computer or wrist monitor to monitor the vital life characteristics of the wearer and send out alarm signals in time. In addition, Sensatex plans to design a garment with a GPS receiver in the collar so that children or senile dementia patients can easily find it if they accidentally lose it. There is also a special pajamas for babies, which will sound an alarm when the baby has a pause.
