Programmable Textiles
Textiles engineered to change shape, stiffness or function on demand.
3D printing on pre-stressed textiles: peel test evaluation of adhesion factors in 4D textiles
A factorial study identifies printing and pre-tension parameters that maximize peel-test adhesion between 3D-printed reinforcements and pre-stressed textile substrates in 4D textiles.
Fundamentals and Uses of 4D Printing on Textiles
This review summarizes how 4D printing of smart, stimuli-responsive polymers on textiles can enable fabrics that change shape or properties for intelligent adaptive textile systems.
Screen-printed stretchable knitted textile electrodes based on bio-PTT/PET bicomponent yarns for E-textile applications
This study introduces sustainable knitted textile electrodes made from bio-PTT/PET yarns, demonstrating superior durability and performance for wearable electronics.
Programmable Filaments and Textiles
Janus filaments and textiles with driven/passive sectors can morph between shapes, showing stable and metastable states, and can be reverse designed to bend into target geometries.
