Ebook: Nanotechnology in Smart Textiles

Nanotechnology in Smart Textiles considers various aspects of nanotechnology includingan extensive overview of nanotechnology and related issues. It includes a historicalreview of the development of electronic textiles, smart textiles and nano-technology,wearable e-textile technologies: a review on sensors, actuators and control elements,textile-based flexible coils for wireless inductive power transmission. The book providesthe reader with insights into the development of its history, so as to understand the newtextile sensors for in situ structural health monitoring of textile reinforced thermoplasticcomposites based on the conductive poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-poly(styrenesulfonate)polymer complex and recent advances in soft e-textiles.
