Abstract:

To foster the development of smart fibrous materials and intelligent wearable textiles, a detailed overview on electroactive fibrous materials for intelligent wearable textiles was carried in this study. This paper summarized the state-of-the-art of fiber-based and fabric-based intelligent wearable textiles in recent years. Definitions, common preparation methods, development process, and the latest research progress in electroactive fibers were examined and their properties and application fields were systematically classified and discussed from the perspectives of strain sensing, electrochromic, intelligent temperature regulation, energy harvesting and storage, and so on. Future development and problems hindering the use of electroactive fibrous materials in intelligent wearable textiles were highlighted. The future development direction was pointed out for theoretical and technical references in the hope to promote the wide range of applications of electroactive fibrous materials in future intelligent wearable textiles.

Key words: intelligent wearable textiles, electroactive fibrous material, sensor, electrochromism, intelligent temperature regulation, energy harvesting and storage
