Intelligent textiles and clothing summarises some of main types of intelligent textiles and their uses. Part I of the book reviews phase change materials (PCMs), their role in thermal regulation and ways they can be integrated into outdoor and other types of clothing. The second part discusses shape memory materials (SMMs) and their applications in medical textiles, clothing and composite materials. Part III deals with chromic (colour change) and conductive materials and their use as sensors within clothing. The final part looks at current and potential applications, including work wear and medical applications. With its distinguished editor and international team of contributors, Intelligent textiles and clothing will be an essential guide for textile manufacturers in such areas as specialist clothing (for example protective, sports and outdoor clothing) as well as medical textiles.

The contributors represent a distinguished international panel of experts and the book covers many aspects of cutting edge research and development. Smart fibres, fabrics and clothing starts with a review of the background to smart technology and goes on to cover a wide range of the material science and fibre science aspects of the technology. It will be essential reading for academics in textile and materials science departments, researchers, designers and engineers in the textiles and clothing product design field. Product managers and senior executives within textile and clothing manufacturing will also find the latest insights into technological developments in the field valuable and fascinating. Wearable electronics and photonics (ISBN-13: 978-1-85573-605-4; ISBN-10: 1-85573-605-5) Building electronics into clothing is a major new concept which opens up a whole array of multi-functional, wearable electro-textiles for sensing/monitoring body functions, delivering communication facilities, data transfer, individual environment control, and many other applications. Fashion articles will carry keypads for mobile phones and connections for personal music systems; specialist clothing will be able to monitor the vital life signs of new-born babies, to record the performance of an athlete’s muscles, or to call a rescue team to victims of accidents in adverse weather conditions. A team of distinguished international experts considers the technical materials and processes that will facilitate all these new applications.
