SMART and Interactive Textiles are designed and developed to sense and adapt/respond with their environment in a predetermined manner. This behavior characterizes their multidisciplinary scope and offers numerous end uses in Medical, Sports and Fitness, Military, Fashion, Automotive, Aerospace, Build Environment and Energy industries. We have already seen SMART textile products in protective and performance clothing, fabric switches, heating and cooling, wearable technologies, monitoring health care, nano fabrics and toys.
The major players in the USA are; E.I. Du Pont De Nemours & Co, Exmovere Holdings, Inc., International Fashion Machines, Inc., Kimberly-Clark Health Care, Marktek Inc., Milliken & Company, Textronics, Inc., Noble Biomaterials, Inc., Outlast Technologies LLC., in the UK; QinetiQ, Intelligent Clothing Ltd., in Germany; Interactive Wear AG, in the Netherlands; Royal Philips Electronics N.V., Schoeller Textiles AG in Switzerland, Toray Industries in Japan and Smartex S.r.l in Italy.
The world market for SMART and Interactive Textiles is to grow in CARG at over 20% in the next three years. But with demand exceeding supply due to complex Research and Development and with slow product to market, this Symposium is timely because it aims to promote recent research achievements and to provoke new discussions and for new innovations by bringing the international academy and industry communities together. The collaboration and cooperation for this exceptionally multidisciplinary area is highly recognized by this symposium and I call all researchers and companies with single discipline/multidiscipline expertise to come forward and participate in the symposium. The topics of the symposium are highlighted in four sessions under; Adaptive/Active Textiles, e-Textiles, Functionality, Manufacturing and Applications and Commercial and End Uses, but they are neither exclusive nor they are limited to them. SMART and Interactive Textiles are particularly important in providing the means of increasing quality of life and as such they are the underpinning materials for well being and recreation, for patient rehabilitation and the elderly population and for energy.
