电子纺织品（e-textiles）是一种织物，其特征是电子产品和编织在其中的互连，具有其他现有电子制造技术无法实现的物理灵活性和典型尺寸。组件和互连是织物固有的，因此不太可见，不易被周围的物体缠绕或卡住。电子纺织品还可以更容易地适应任何特定应用的计算和传感要求的快速变化，这代表了电源管理和上下文感知的有用功能。可穿戴计算背后的愿景预见未来的电子系统将成为我们日常服装不可或缺的一部分。这种电子设备必须满足关于耐磨性的特殊要求。可穿戴系统的特点是能够自动识别自己用户的活动和行为状态以及她/他周围的情况，并使用这些信息来调整系统的配置和功能。本文综述了智能纺织品领域的最新进展，特别关注了智能纺织品的材料及其制造工艺。每种技术都有其优点和缺点，我们的目标是突出灵活性，人体工程学，低功耗，集成和最终自主性之间可能的权衡。
Electronic Textiles (e-textiles) are fabrics that feature electronics and interconnections woven into them, presenting physical flexibility and typical size that cannot be achieved with other existing electronic manufacturing techniques. Components and interconnections are intrinsic to the fabric and thus are less visible and not susceptible of becoming tangled or snagged by surrounding objects. E-textiles can also more easily adapt to fast changes in the computational and sensing requirements of any specific application, this one representing a useful feature for power management and context awareness. The vision behind wearable computing foresees future electronic systems to be an integral part of our everyday outfits. Such electronic devices have to meet special requirements concerning wearability. Wearable systems will be characterized by their ability to automatically recognize the activity and the behavioral status of their own user as well as of the situation around her/him, and to use this information to adjust the systems' configuration and functionality. This review focuses on recent advances in the field of Smart Textiles and pays particular attention to the materials and their manufacturing process. Each technique shows advantages and disadvantages and our aim is to highlight a possible trade-off between flexibility, ergonomics, low power consumption, integration and eventually autonomy.
