Abstract

Over the past three decades, smart or functional textiles have gradually been introduced to the sectors of building and living, fulfilling a plethora of new applications. Although their show great promise for current and future applications in these domains, their application is often limited and hampered by a significant number of factors. Among these factors, a couple stand out in terms of their significance: sustainability and circularity, and functionalization (interactivity), including certification and standardization. A roadmap in these domains is proposed to remove barriers to the implementation and application of smart textiles in buildings and living. This is done by examining the state of the art in smart textile technology, analyzing the developments, setting the ambitions for the future, investigating the feasibility of options, and making choices and setting priorities. The roadmap can be used by industry and the wider community to make smart textiles a societal and commercial success story.

用于建筑和生活的循环和可持续智能纺织品：挑战、途径和前景

在过去的三十年里，智能或功能性纺织品逐渐被引入建筑和生活领域，实现了大量的新应用。尽管它们在这些领域的当前和未来应用中显示出巨大的前景，但它们的应用往往受到许多因素的限制和阻碍。在这些因素中，有几个在其重要性方面脱颖而出：可持续性和循环性，以及功能化（交互性），包括认证和标准化。提出了这些领域的路线图，以消除智能纺织品在建筑和生活中实施和应用的障碍。这是通过检查智能纺织技术的最新技术，分析发展，设定未来的目标，调查选项的可行性，做出选择和设置优先级来完成的。该路线图可以被工业和更广泛的社区使用，使智能纺织品成为社会和商业上的成功故事。
