How cool is it to be able to change color?

The phone needs to be recharged, and now some cars need to be recharged, but you may not think that your clothes will need to be charged one day. With the increasingly close connection between the Internet and life, clothing began to develop in the direction of “ intelligence ”.

Special materials are one of the keys to making "smart clothing" intelligent. By combining a variety of special materials with textiles, smart garments can have properties superior to those of ordinary garments. According to the Beijing Times, Aijia Technology has combined graphene with textiles to change the properties of graphene materials, resulting in new materials that are soft and washable, enabling a wide range of market applications. At the end of last year, Aijia Technology developed A “graphene smart shawl” with heating function. This shawl uses graphene as a heating carrier, and the user can control the temperature of the shawl through the APP. The warmth of the ordinary shawl is limited, and the temperature control function of this shawl is just like the plot in the science fiction film. It can be seen that the excellent properties of graphene are applied to the clothing, which not only makes the clothes more light and soft, but also can achieve temperature control. On this basis, future scientists may be able to develop massage-type clothing, so that for people with shoulder and back problems, this kind of clothing can be concentrated massage for certain parts.

If this "temperature-controlled" clothing is not enough to satisfy your illusion of "smart clothing," then clothing that senses the surrounding environment and intelligently disguise will not disappoint you. According to Guangming.com, research experts at Donghua University said, "If the fibers of clothing can be discolored under different voltages, temperatures and light, clothes can be intelligently camouflaged like chameleons." At present, many wearable electrochromic fibers, thermochromic fibers, photosensitive color-changing fibers, etc., which have been studied by many scholars, have initially realized the function of discoloration of clothes. In addition, the relevant research team at Donghua University is also studying the application of low-dimensional materials in smart clothing. Low-dimensional materials refer to materials that are sufficiently small in one dimension or all dimensions of length, width, and height. When the material reaches a low-dimensional material, it exhibits characteristics different from those of everyday materials. Smart clothing made from low-dimensional materials can simulate a living system with both dual functions of perception and response.

Smart clothing is not only "smart" in the material, but also "smart" in its function. Is the drum too expensive? Computer music software is too boring? Music may not be needed to play music, clothes can do it! According to the Nanfang Daily, the “Drum T-Shirt” has a built-in drum controller. Users can tap different positions and the clothes can make different drum sounds. In addition, consumers can pair it with a pair of trousers with a mini speaker to let them play music anytime, anywhere. In fact, not only in the field of art, but also in the fields of medical care and sports, "smart clothing" is also useful. For example, vests that monitor physiological indicators such as heart rate and blood pressure, shorts and running shoes that monitor the athlete's heart rate and other factors in real time.

With the advancement of technology, smart clothing will certainly be applied in more fields, and its functions will be more powerful and diverse. Perhaps in the near future, cool costumes in science fiction films can become a reality, and no longer an idiotic dream.
