Smart Fabrics Market
When exposed to environmental stimuli like heat, light, or humidity, a passive smart fabric changes its state in a way that is advantageous for a certain application, such as sending out an alert.
Polymeric materials classified as stimuli-responsive polymers have the capacity to sense, react, and take on a preset shape in response to external conditions. A smart fabric (waterproof, windproof, and breathable) is created when stimuli-responsive polymers are laminated or coated to a fabric. To create the perfect fusion of thermal insulation and vapour permeability for clothes, polymeric materials can be coated onto a Smart Fabrics such that its permeability changes when the wearer's environment and body (skin) temperature change.
