As report goes,

Switzerland

Scientists at the Federal Institute of technology in Zurich have developed a new technology.

Smart clothing

"Research has made new breakthroughs.

The technology can spin sensors, conductive fibers and other electronic components, like fibers, into ordinary cloth, so that the cloth can not only be electronic components, but also can be washed directly.

In addition, because the core of the technology is to miniaturized electronic components and fibrosis, large scale commercial production can be done without replacing the existing textile equipment.

In the past, the most common solution to the development of electronic smart fabrics was to fix electronic components on cloth by sewing, and the "electronic garment" made by this method could not be washed.

In addition, the handmade method makes the production cost high.

This new technology has solved the problem of previous research and development. Researchers attached plastic fibers to miniaturized electronic components and connected a large number of micro integrated circuits through a special material and structure.

Textile raw materials

It contains a large number of electronic components, but the smart cloth has no obvious difference from the ordinary fabric in appearance, and the clothes made can be folded conveniently.

In addition, because the electronic components in the fabric are all encapsulated by plastic, they can be washed conveniently.
