Piezoelectric Smart Textile for Energy
An article titled “A Piezoelectric Smart Textile for Energy Harvesting and Wearable Self-Powered Sensors” HKH (2022, 15, 5541) describes the creation of a smart textile that can harness energy from human motion and supply wearable sensors with power. The article describes how the fabric is created utilising piezoelectric fibres, which produce electricity when mechanical stress is applied to them. The scientists explain how the textile can be used to power sensors that track vital signs like heart rate and respiration and integrated into garments. The possible uses of this technology, such as medical monitoring, tracking athletic performance, and military surveillance, are also covered in the article. The article’s overall message emphasises how smart textiles could revolutionise the world of wearable electronics by offering a reliable and practical source of power.
Regenerative Textiles and material circularity in the value chain
The paper “Regenerative Textiles: A Framework for Future Materials Circularity in the Textile Value Chain” RM (2021,13,13910) makes a novel suggestion on how to produce textiles that puts sustainability and circularity first. The existing linear model of textile production, which depends on the extraction of limited resources and produces a lot of waste, is unsustainable, according to the authors, and must be replaced with a regenerative model that resembles natural systems. In order to accomplish this, the article provides a framework that involves employing renewable inputs, designing for reuse and disassembly, and putting in place closed-loop processes that reduce waste. The writers also go over the possible advantages of this strategy, like less of an impact on the environment, more effective use of resources, and better social consequences. In general, the article offers a persuasive outlook for textile value chain.
Summary all articles
In the above Articles we come to know about how the textile product is been used to its extreme level so that no waste is made in the production and more product are been made, we see that the waste material is use to make other product which makes the environment pollution free so that the textile is use full. In the second article we come across to the fabric product how the fabric is been made and how they are uses the material to make product to the finished goods. Fabric was been introduced in 90s to the industries to make the fabric products. Most of the time fabric product are been damaged by the bacteria so the new raw material been introduced as antibacterial fabric. Third article gives info about how the textile industry were introduced to the new fashion world so that to make new fashion product which were more in demand in the market so industry focused in the fashionable products which were made by the textile industry. Fourth article tells us how the textile industry is harmful to the ecosystem. Textile product have a limited life span so in that life span the product is been harmful to the environment. Fifth article gives information about the Pakistan textile industry how the government of Pakistan support the textile industry to grow the textile product in the Pakistan market so that to gain more textile products. Pakistan was faced the problem of the textile industry launch and had also taken loss at the initial stage. Sixth article tell us the crises in Pakistan textile industry what are the issues were raised during the production and distribution of the textile product. Most of the industry were closed due the loss making in the industry of textile. The Seventh article is related to the upcycling of the textile industry more or the less the textile is related to the cloths, fabrics, tiles, design, infrastructure, etc. upcycling of the industry was made by new machine introduction to make the efficient use of the raw material. Eight article is about the nano textile product in the industry so that the nano technology is been used in the textile products. Ninth article tells us about the fabric is used to make new energy and textile product is upgrade in the way to save the energy.
