TY - JOUR TI - Research status and prospect of intelligent fibres and textiles AU - SHEN, LEI AU - ZHANG, XIYING AU - REN, XIANGFANG AU - CHEN, HAN T2 - Industria Textila AB - Intelligent fibre is a kind of fibre that integrates sensing and information processing. It is similar to biological materials and has intelligent functions such as self-perception, self-adaptation, self-diagnosis, and self-repair. Intelligent textiles refer to textiles that have sensing and responding functions to the environment. Intelligent fibres and their textiles not only have the ability to perceive and respond to external stimuli but also have the ability to adapt to the external environment. In recent years, the research on intelligent fibres has achieved many results in the world, and it is widely used in textiles and clothing industry. Therefore, this paper summarized the research status of intelligent fibre and intelligent textile worldwide, and put forward the research direction in the future. This paper introduced the properties and research status of five kinds of main intelligent fibres, including phase change fibre, shape memory fibre, smart hydrogel fibre, optical fibre and electronic intelligent fibre, and summarized their application in textiles. This paper also introduced the research status of five important intelligent textiles, including intelligent temperature control textile, shape memory textiles, waterproof and moisture permeable textile, intelligent antibacterial textile and electronic intelligent textile. Moreover, it forecasted the development prospects of intelligent fibres and textiles, and pointed out development direction in three aspects of performance optimization, green and safety, industrialization. It provided research reference and guidance for future intelligent fibre and intelligent textile.
