Subject:E-Textiles, Nanofibres for Wearable Electronics

Electronic textiles (e-textiles) are textile structures that have electronic functions. Recent advances in microelectronics and nanofibre technology will bring about game changing effect to advanced material technology and social –economic impacts. The omni presence of e-textiles will popularize wearable electronics; making personal health monitoring a reality; enable flexible/large area solar collector affordable; and facilitates the adaptation of flexible battery for consumer electronics and automobile alike. The combination of electronics with textiles will not only create a trillion dollar e-textile economy but also play an important role in addressing the global issues of Energy, Environment and Healthcare facing human kind.
