Cover Story: Future textiles will integrate sensing and can respond to various stimuli. A prototype of breathable thermochromic textile ideal for sensor application was developed. The textile was woven/knitted from polymer filaments pre-coated with thermochromic (TLC) ink, instead of coating the ink post-weaving/knitting. This process makes the breathability of thermochromic textile achievable while enhancing its versatility. Precoated yarns can be selected according to the desired thermochromic properties and can be easily combined with other smart yarns, e.g., conductive yarn to enhance its smart textile properties. Swatches from both knitted and handwoven fabrics showed excellent reversible thermochromic property showing color from red to blue as the temperature is raised from 26 to 32 °C. View this paper

The main objective of this study was to develop cellulose nanofibers from the thermomechanical pulp (TMP) of Radiata Pine (Pinus radiata D. Don), and for this, a one-step micro-grinding process was used. The newly developed material was called thermo...
