Abstract

Smart textiles in healthcare are able to react on their own by adapting to their environment. They allow integrating functions and expand the design options. The development of these textiles will lead to create more comfortable products. The textiles of the future will improve our daily lives and offer new perspectives for industry, health services and the environment. To reach those objectives, smart products incorporate more and more innovative functional materials and fibers such as X-chrome materials with color-changing properties under pressure, temperature, light, etc.

In this survey we will present the state of arts of the x-chromic materials, and mainly x-chromic textile materials. An overview of the main textile applications of chromic materials will be discussed through ongoing research towards technical and smart textile applications. Applications as reactive indicators adapted to the user need with focus on newborns needs will be detailed.

Keywords: Newborn needs, x-chromic materials, smart textile
