Sustainable development of smart textiles: a review of ‘self-functioning’ abilities which makes textiles alive

Technologically-friendly and user-friendly textile products, which can make daily life more convenient and comfortable, are progressively popular in modern society. Going along with the advanced development of innovative technology, textile clothing is no longer only used as body shielding for protection, warmth keeping at cold weather and aesthetic enhancing for fashion design. Furthermore, it can provide different ‘self-functioning’ processes for interacting with and adapting to external changes like living organisms. Various applications can hence be initiated for propelling the textile industry forward.
