Relaxed Life Of New Smart Clothing

Mention "intelligence" clothing "We soon thought of air suits, diving suits and firemen's fireproof clothes. If there were no staff in the relevant industry, we could imagine that these special clothes had nothing to do with our daily life.

Another example is "chameleon uniform" - this uniform can be bullet proof, can change colors according to the surrounding environment, measure the heartbeat of soldiers, automatically adjust the temperature inside the uniform, and detect the attack of biological and chemical weapons. Its fabric is breathable and is very comfortable to wear at ordinary times, but it can be instantly closed and completely isolated from the outside world when it detects the enemy's use of biological and chemical weapons. "Medical shirt" - this shirt has multiple sensors and signal launchers. It can detect the temperature, heartbeat and blood pressure of the wearer, and transmit the data to the hospital through satellite, so that the hospital can provide remote care to the patients. Once an emergency occurs, the hospital can locate the patient in time for rescue through the satellite positioning device on the shirt. These are specialties. uniform They function only for a special group of people.

Designers will continue to make great contributions in terms of color and style, but another high-tech smart clothing will also come to the stage. These garments have many functions such as body protection, cold protection and beautification, and other anti sweat, color changing and transmission information. Because of the huge market potential of smart clothing, chemical companies, garment factories and electronic equipment manufacturers have invested in development.

Technology lookout, the modern smart fiber has the integrated function of sensing and processing various information and status. It is very similar to the so-called bioengineering materials, and has many intelligent functions, such as self perception, self repair and self diagnosis. In addition, the application of smart fiber to the field of textile and clothing can design diversified functions. clothing It can also advance steadily towards the direction of industrial production and application. The application and design of Smart Fiber in smart safety clothing should be focused on the following aspects.

　 Intelligent color changing clothing

The color change of intelligent discolored fiber can be changed automatically with the continuous change of external temperature. According to the theory of intelligent color changing fiber, this kind of discolored fiber can be used in the special wearing environment of human body, so that it can change the related external environment, better protect people's safety or meet specific needs.

For example, the famous American CYNAMDE company, as early as the Vietnam War of 70s of last century, developed and manufactured fabrics for the US Army to absorb color changes in the color of clothing so as to meet the needs of high-performance suits. Since then, a variety of composite fibers with discoloration function have been developed, which have been widely used in textile, clothing and clothing fields. At present, researchers focus on changing all the spectrum of chromatic fibers, further enhancing their intelligence level, and looking forward to designing and producing better intelligent safety clothing to meet the needs of higher industrialization.

　　 Intelligent temperature control textiles

Intelligent temperature control textiles can control the temperature of fabrics intelligently, so as to enhance the comfort performance of fabrics. Intelligent temperature control textiles can be divided into 3 types, namely, heat preservation, temperature regulation and cooling. Tempering textiles have two-way adaptability and can be used for temperature adjustment to develop and produce fire-fighting clothing, ski wear, etc. Hat Underwear, socks, gloves, mattresses, blankets, pillows and so on. The temperature control textiles mainly use composite spinning finishing and microcapsule spinning, and the degree of development is more and more mature.

In recent years, remarkable progress has been made in the development of temperature regulating textiles at home and abroad. For example, the United States first started developing and manufacturing tempered textiles, which originally served the moon landing program. In 1988, the US developed and manufactured Outlast phase change materials. After 1994, the commercial value of temperature regulating textiles was gradually realized, and its product performance was continuously improved. Polytech is a famous manufacturer of temperature regulating textiles in the United States. The Ureatech air-conditioner fabric developed by the company is very advanced. This kind of fabric can be temperature adjusted and has polyurethane coating. Our country began to study thermostat textiles very late. With the help of "space technology", an international group and Hebei Xiong Ya textile group have designed the lukewarm knitting yarn with variable temperature adjustment, and also launched the first clothing with "cool winter and warm winter" performance in China. At present, a considerable number of tempering textiles have entered the stage of industrialization. However, there are still very prominent problems, such as the difficulty of processing, the need to enhance the wearability, the durability and so on.

　 Intelligent antibacterial textiles

After antibacterial treatment, textiles can play the following two functions, first of all, to provide users with protection, followed by prevention of fiber damage. The following methods are used to obtain antibacterial textiles: antibacterial fibers are made into different fabrics or antibacterial agents are used to process the corresponding fabrics. Most of the antibacterial textiles in the market are made by the latter method. Antimicrobial agents exert antibacterial mechanisms in the following ways:

(1) the activity of different metabolic enzymes in bacterial cells can be lost.

(2) the protease in the cell can react with it in a certain way.

(3) restrain the formation process of the gown, and block the DNA synthesis of bacteria.

(4) accelerating the redox system of phosphoric acid, interfering with the normal cell growth mechanism.

(5) destroy the energy release mechanism in cells.

(6) blocking amino acid conversion and generation of electron transfer system.

Intelligent antibacterial fabrics can selectively control the function of bacteria, whether in severe or mild activity conditions, can make the surface of the skin part of the microbial propagation and growth to maintain a normal level, is currently widely used in children's toys, underwear, towels and sheets. This kind of textile has adopted the following processing methods: graft modification, blend spinning, ion exchange, composite spinning, finishing and wet spinning. Usually, intelligent antibacterial textiles do not possess excellent durability. The antibacterial properties of textiles will decrease or even disappear after washing. Currently, the number of smart antibacterial textiles on the market is usually only 30 times up and down.

For example, a company launched a new movement of intelligent polyphthalamide fiber. Underwear When wearing, the bacteria on the body can not thrive, and combine nylon with intelligent polyphthalamide fiber, which increases the washing times and ensures its durability and safety. In this way, textiles suitable for specific health care and related industries can be developed.

　　 Intelligent electronic sensing clothing

Intelligent electronic sensing clothing fully develops information interaction design with the help of communication, sensor and related equipment of electronic system. Therefore, smart clothing design regards the concept and technology of digital interaction as a basic element, and further expands the practical application category of smart clothing. For example, embedding sensors and electronic components into clothing fabrics is also one of the effective means of designing and implementing electronic smart clothing. The following types of products are mainly designed: warm felt down garments, physiological monitoring clothing, LED smart sensory clothing for children, and wet feather clothing.

In the next few years, our wardrobe will be filled with such smart clothes -- "smart shirts" that can read the heartbeat and respiratory rate of the human body; a coat that can play music automatically; a T-shirt that can display words and images on the chest. American technology media predict that the future clothing will become a real "multi-function portable high-tech product", a piece of clothing can play music, video, adjust the temperature, and even surf the Internet at the same time. People don't need to put Mp3, personal computers or air conditioners in their pockets or carry them on their shoulders. They simply wear them on their bodies and relax.
