Abstract

It is seen great advances in technology in recent
years. One of these advances has become in smart textile. Although there are
many different definitions, usually smart textiles can be defined “sense and
respond to environmental stimuli”. They have been different application areas
such as e-textiles, nano textiles, technical textiles, etc. In the last
decades, e-textiles developments come to the fore in the smart textiles.
E-textiles contain some digital, electronical circuits, sensors and textile
based materials such as conductive fiber, yarn and fabrics. A lot of products
can be made in this industry but the effects of environmental stimulis such as
human perspiring on these products are not examined so much. In this study, it
was examined the conductivity of e-textile fabrics in the changing different pH
values according to genders.
