Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the advance towards the fourth industrial revolution, a wave of emerging industries and advanced multidisciplinary fields has broken out, including big data, human-machine interfaces, soft robotics, the Internet of Things (IoTs), and artificial intelligence (AI). Among them, there is a significant research target to design a flexible and intelligent wearable system through the utilization of textile fiber characteristics, such as softness, flexibility, lightness, breathability, and comfort. This Special Issue is expected to provide novel insights into functional textile fiber-based intelligent wearable systems, such as flexible/wearable fiber-based smart textiles, advanced energy, biomedical technologies, human-machine interfaces, and novel smart devices. It is conceivable that this Special Issue will promote the integration and rapid development of these highly interdisciplinary fields, ranging from basic science to device integration, industrial applications, and beyond.
This Special Issue of the journal Materials on the “Design, Preparation, and Application of Functional Textile Fiber Materials in Intelligent Wearables” aims to collect original research and review articles highlighting the synthesis, modification, design, properties, and applications in various areas related to flexible and intelligent textiles. We would like to invite scientists and engineers from diverse and multidisciplinary fields with different technological backgrounds to contribute their works to this Special Issue.
