What are Smart Textile Materials?
Smart Textile Materials are advanced textiles that interact with their environment or adapt to changes in it. These materials are not just combinations of textiles and electronics; they encompass a wide range of functionalities, including mechanical actuation, energy harvesting, and tunable fabric openness. SUBBIMATT focuses on creating Smart Textile Materials that are both biobased and bioinspired, ensuring sustainability and innovation.
Organic materials
Biobased
The materials are derived from renewable biological sources, such as plants or other organic materials, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and minimizing environmental impact. By using biobased materials, SUBBIMATT ensures that the smart textiles are sustainable and eco-friendly.
Inspiration from nature
Bioinspired
Drawing inspiration from natural processes and organisms to develop new technologies and materials. In SUBBIMATT, bioinspired design principles are applied to create advanced functionalities in textiles, mimicking the efficient and adaptive features found in nature.
