Electronic textiles, an emerging class of electronic technology, offer exciting opportunities for seamless integration with the human body. Numerous applications have been developed based on electronic textiles. However, researches on integrating multiple electronic textile-based devices are still few. In this study, we present a system integrated with an electrocardiogram monitoring sensor and an electroluminescence device based on stretchable and washable conductive microtextiles. The signal is acquired by an electrocardiograph amplifier and displayed by a dual-color electroluminescence device based on the processed results. The integrated electronic device has excellent moisture permeability and comfort for long-term wearing. The system reported in this study opens a new avenue for the application of electronic textiles in health monitoring, robotic prosthetics, and competitive sports. Graphical abstract

Displays are basic building blocks of modern electronics 1 , 2 . Integrating displays into textiles offers exciting opportunities for smart electronic textiles—the ultimate goal of wearable technology, poised to change the way in which we interact with electronic devices 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 . Display textiles serve to bridge human–machine interactions 7 , 8 , 9 , offering, for instance, a real-time communication tool for individuals with voice or speech difficulties. Electronic textiles capable of communicating 10 , sensing 11 , 12 and supplying electricity 13 , 14 have been reported previously. However, textiles with functional, large-area displays have not yet been achieved, because it is challenging to obtain small illuminating units that are both durable and easy to assemble over a wide area. Here we report a 6-metre-long, 25-centimetre-wide display textile containing 5 × 10 5 electroluminescent units spaced approximately 800 micrometres apart. Weaving conductive weft and luminescent warp fibres forms micrometre-scale electroluminescent units at the weft–warp contact points. The brightness between electroluminescent units deviates by less than 8 per cent and remains stable even when the textile is bent, stretched or pressed. Our display textile is flexible and breathable and withstands repeated machine-washing, making it suitable for practical applications. We show that an integrated textile system consisting of display, keyboard and power supply can serve as a communication tool, demonstrating the system’s potential within the ‘internet of things’ in various areas, including healthcare. Our approach unifies the fabrication and function of electronic devices with textiles, and we expect that woven-fibre materials will shape the next generation of electronics.

Programmable smart textiles with adaptive moisture/heat conditioning (MHC) capabilities are globally being sought to meet the requirements of comfort, energy efficiency, and health protection. However, a universal strategy for fabricating truly scalable and customizable MHC textiles is lacking. In this study, we introduce a scalable in situ grafting approach for the continuous fabrication of two series of smart textile yarns with opposite thermoresponsive wetting behaviors. In particular, the wetting transition temperature can be precisely programmed by adjusting the grafting formula, making the yarns highly customizable. The smart yarns demonstrated excellent mechanical strength, whiteness, weavability, biocompatibility, and washability (with more than 60 home washes), comparable to those of regular textile yarns. They can serve as building blocks independently or in combination to create smart textiles with adaptive sweat wicking and intelligent moisture/heat regulation capabilities. A proposed hybrid textile integrating both the two series of smart yarns can offer dry-contact and cooling/keep-warming effects of approximately 1.6/2.8 °C, respectively, in response to changes in ambient temperature. Our method provides a rich array of design options for nonpowered MHC textiles while maintaining a balance between traditional wearing conventions and large-scale production.

The integration of bio-inspired nanostructured metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with textiles opens new frontiers for smart wearable systems. This study develops a mechanically robust superhydrophobic AgTCNQ-MOF hybrid fabric via in situ self-assembly, mimicking cactus spines to achieve water contact and sliding angles of 159.2° and 1.8°, respectively. The optimized textile demonstrates multifaceted functionality: 1) Ultrahigh oil-water separation performance (efficiency: 98.4%; flux: 18.0 kL·m −2 ·h −1 ); 2) Anti-icing capacity extending freezing onset from 105 s to 685 s under −20 °C; 3) Full-spectrum UV resistance (UVA: 2.5%, UVB: 2.7%) with 99.8% antimicrobial efficacy; 4) Autonomous self-cleaning via contaminant-removing rolling droplets; and 5) Outstanding mechanical flexibility (6000 cycles) coupled with ultrahigh solar-thermal efficiency (91.5%) enabled by AgTCNQ-derived ultrasmall-bandgap (0.47 eV) engineering, a notable advancement over conventional systems. A covalent interfacial anchoring strategy ensures exceptional durability, maintaining superhydrophobicity after 30 abrasion cycles or 200 h UV exposure. The ultrasmall-bandgap of AgTCNQ uniquely optimizes photon-to-thermal conversion while maintaining multifunctionality, which is a key innovation differentiating this platform. This synergy between bandgap-engineered nanoporosity and textile flexibility enables real-time environmental responsiveness. Such integration bridges nanotechnology and textile engineering to address wearable-environmental challenges, advancing applications in medical wearables, industrial filtration, and adaptive robotics.

Electronic textiles (e-textiles) typically comprise fabric substrates with electronic components capable of heating, sensing, lighting and data storage. In this work, we rationally designed and fabricated anisotropic light/thermal emitting e-textiles with great mechanical stability based on a sandwich-structured tri-electrode device. By coating silver nanowire network/thermal insulation bilayer on fabrics, an anisotropic thermal emitter can be realized for smart heat management. By further covering the emissive film and the top electrode on the bilayer, light emitters with desirable patterns and colors are extracted from the top surface via an alternative current derived electroluminescence. Both the light and thermal emitting functions can be operated simultaneously or separately. Particularly, our textiles exhibit reliable heating and lighting performance in water, revealing excellent waterproof feature and washing stability.

Lead halide perovskites show great potential to be used in wearable optoelectronics. However, obstacles for real applications lie in their instability under light, moisture and temperature stress, noxious lead ions leakage and difficulties in fabricating uniform luminescent textiles at large scale and high production rates. Overcoming these obstacles, we report simple, high-throughput electrospinning of large-area (> 375 cm 2 ) flexible perovskite luminescent textiles woven by ultra-stable polymer@perovskite@cyclodextrin@silane composite fibers. These textiles exhibit bright and narrow-band photoluminescence (a photoluminescence quantum yield of 49.7%, full-width at half-maximum <17 nm) and the time to reach 50% photoluminescence of 14,193 h under ambient conditions, showcasing good stability against water immersion (> 3300 h), ultraviolet irradiation, high temperatures (up to 250 °C) and pressure surge (up to 30 MPa). The waterproof PLTs withstood fierce water scouring without any detectable leaching of lead ions. These low-cost and scalable woven PLTs enable breakthrough application in marine rescue.

In recent years, with the rapid development of the economy and great progress in science and technology, people have become increasingly concerned about their quality of life and physical health. In order to pursue a higher life, various functional and biomimetic textiles have emerged one after another and have been sought after by people. There are many animal and plant surfaces with special wettability in nature, and their unique “micro-nano structures” and low surface energy have attracted extensive attention from researchers. Researchers have prepared various textiles with superhydrophobic features by mimicking these unique structures. This review introduces the typical organisms with superhydrophobicity in nature, using lotus, water strider, and cicada as examples, and describes their morphological features and excellent superhydrophobicity. The theoretical model, commonly used raw materials, and modification technology of superhydrophobic surfaces are analyzed. In addition, the application areas and the current study status of superhydrophobic surfaces for textiles are also summarized. Finally, the development prospects for superhydrophobic textiles based on bionic technology are discussed.Keywords:superhydrophobic surface;biomimetic textiles;lotus leaf;theoretical modeling

Textiles capable of passive thermal management offer a sustainable approach to personal comfort and energy conservation. Despite advances in material design, achieving simultaneous thermal-moisture regulation, durability, and antimicrobial protection remains challenging. Here, a multifunctional metafabric fabricated is presented via in.situ synthesis and dip-coating, which combines high solar reflectivity (91.2%) and infrared emissivity (96.6%) for efficient radiative cooling. The fabric exhibits exceptional antimicrobial efficacy (>99.5% against Staphylococcus aureus ( S. aureus ) and Escherichia coli ( E. coli )) without compromising thermal performance. Mechanical testing confirms outstanding durability, with minimal mass loss (<2.3%) and stable thermal properties after 120 abrasion cycles. This robust, multifunctional textile provides a practical solution for personal thermal management across diverse environments while mitigating microbial contamination risks.

Fabrics were flame-retardant finished using phytic acid, a cost-effective, ecologically acceptable, and easily available flame-retardant finishing chemical. Then, on the surface of the completed fabric, silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) were grown in situ to minimize Ag NPs aggregation and heterogeneous post-finishing and to increase washing durability. Thus, flame-retardant and antibacterial qualities were added to textiles. The as-prepared textiles were evaluated for their combustion performance, thermal performance, and antibacterial capabilities. At the same time, their microstructures were studied using X-ray diffractometry (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The findings indicated that flame-retardant textiles had an excellent launderability (limiting oxygen index = 31% after 20 washing cycles). Meanwhile, Ag NPs-loaded flame-retardant textiles demonstrated self-extinguishing properties, with a limiting oxygen index (LOI) of 27%. Bacteriostatic widths of flame-retardant antibacterial textiles againstEscherichia coliandStaphylococcus aureuswere 5.28 and 4.32 mm, respectively, indicating that Ag NPs-loaded flame-retardant fabrics have certain flame-retardant and antibacterial capabilities. SEM and TEM analysis indicated that nanoparticles were uniformly dispersed over Ag NPs-loaded flame-retardant textiles and were around 20 nm in size. When compared to flame-retardant textiles, Ag NPs-loaded flame-retardant fabrics showed varied binding energy of P and N on the surface and Ag ion emergence. Thermogravimetric analysis at various heating rates revealed that the main pyrolysis temperature range of flame-retardant fabrics decreased, while the main pyrolysis temperature range of Ag NPs-loaded flame-retardant fabrics increased; the heating rate influenced the pyrolysis range but not the fabric mass loss. In situ reduction synthesis of Ag NPs-loaded flame-retardant textiles may successfully reduce agglomeration and heterogeneous dispersion of nano-materials during post-finishing.Keywords:antibacterial treatment;phytic acid;flame-retardant cotton textiles;Ag NPs

The design of multifunctional, high-performance wearable heaters utilizing textile substrates has garnered increasing attention, particularly in the development of body temperature and health monitoring devices. However, fabricating these multifunctional wearable heaters while simultaneously ensuring flexibility, air permeability, Joule heating performance, electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding and antibacterial properties remains a significant challenge. This study utilizes phase transition lysozyme (PTL) film-mediated electroless deposition (ELD) technology to deposit silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) on the cotton fabrics surface in a mild aqueous solution at room temperature, thereby constructing a wearable heater with long-term stability, high conductivity, and exceptional photothermal properties. The textiles enriched with Ag NPs exhibit remarkable electrothermal and photothermal dual-driven heating capabilities, achieving temperatures exceeding 110 °C within 50s under 2 V, or in merely a few seconds through photothermal conversion. Importantly, these textiles retain the intrinsic flexibility and breathability of the textile substrate. Furthermore, the amyloid-like protein Ag NP integrated textiles demonstrate excellent antibacterial properties, and exhibit a high EMI shielding efficiency of 50 dB within the frequency range of 8.2–12.4 GHz. Therefore, these multifunctional Ag NPs wearable heaters were expected to find applications in areas such as smart wearable clothing and future health management.

Applying natural dye is a green and available approach for the dyeing and simultaneous functionalizing of textiles. However, the commonly used mordant of metal ions to improve the dyeing effect results in massive toxic wastewater production, which decreases the environmentally friendly characteristics. In this work, the mordant and water substitute ability of choline chloride-ethylene glycol natural deep eutectic solvent (NADES), defined as the mixture of two or more primary metabolites at a particular composition becoming liquids via H-bond forces, was investigated during the dyeing process because it has been used as a green extraction and stability agent for the natural dye. To this end, the NADES and metal ion were used in three mordant dyeing wool and cotton processes of Platycodon Grandiflorus root dye, and the color and functionalization effect were compared to verify the method advance. The result indicated that natural deep eutectic solvent had a better effect as a mordant than the metal ion by enhancing the dye solubility, the dye uptake rate of fiber, and the dye polymerization trend via rich H-bonds among fiber, dye, and NADES. The dyed textile had an excellent functional performance, including UV resistance, antibacterial, antioxidation, and burning difficulty, with the preferable fastness. This method also showed good universality for other natural dyes and NADESs. Compared to the existing mordant dyeing technologies, the proposed technology had lower chemical reagent usage, cost, and energy consumption, whose residual solvent had good reusability for at least 10 times and better degradability. Overall, this paper supplied a potential and green approach using NADESs as alternatives to metal ions for the mordant dyeing textile using natural dye.

Various molecular thermochromic blocked waterborne polyurethanes have been synthesized via incorporating rhodamine B derivative (RhEA). The effect of molecular weight on the thermal properties, rheological behaviors, and thermochromic properties of the thermochromic polyurethanes were tested. The molecular weight of the thermochromic polyurethanes were tailored in the range of 3317–20,377 by choosing polyethylene glycol (PEG200/600/1000) with various molecular weight as soft segments. The results showed that the thermal decomposition temperature of thermochromic polyurethane with the higher molecular weight was higher. The absorbance of thermochromic polyurethanes gradually increased with the increase of induction time. Additionally, the absorbance of PU-PEG200 was lowest because it had least repetition unit. The thermochromic behaviors of polyurethanes were not affected by the molecular weights. The application performances of synthesized thermochromic polyurethanes in textile printing as a functional colorant were also measured. It was found that the actual lines width of PU-PEG200 were less than the theoretical value and the rate of change was negative. This phenomenon was due to the poor water solubility. The K/S of the printed fabrics with polyurethanes gradually raised with the increase of UV induction time. The thermochromic behaviors of fabrics were also not affected by the molecular weights.
