Conductive Fabrics: Merging Textiles with Electronics for Next-Generation Wearable

Abstract

Yi Haque*

The fusion of textiles and electronics has led to the rise of conductive fabrics, a groundbreaking innovation that is paving the way for next-generation wearable technologies. Conductive fabrics are designed to transmit electrical signals, enabling the integration of electronic components such as sensors, batteries, and microchips directly into fabricsallowing them to carry electrical signals without compromising the flexibility, comfort, or durability of traditional fabrics. As wearable technology continues to evolve, conductive fabrics are becoming a key enabler of innovations in industries like healthcare, sports, fashion, and military, transforming how we interact with technology in our daily lives.
