STET-2024 International Conference
5th – 6th December 2024
Smart Textiles and Emerging Technologies
Textiles that can think for themselves! This concept is very progressive, and such textiles are a fact technically conceivable today and commercially feasible tomorrow. The technology of “Smart Textiles” is an integration of almost all disciplines of applied sciences like: Textile technology, Textile chemistry, Material science, Cloth manufacturing technology, Structural mechanics, Electronics, Artificial intelligence, Biotechnology. These myriad sciences are blended with one another to produce fashionable textiles which make our lives comfortable and luxurious. SMART TEXTILES, however, are not just restricted to clothing and apparels but extend to many other applications like automobiles, robotics, aircrafts, medicine and surgery etc. The importance of these materials is so profound at some places (e.g. military battlefields) that they virtually act as lifesaving materials.
The Smart Textiles and Emerging Technologies (STET) International Conference served as a platform for academic researchers and industry experts to exchange knowledge and insights in the field of smart textile materials and technologies.
Welcome were research papers and industrial presentations in the areas of (included but not limited):
• New development in textile fibres
• 2D and 3D fabric structures
• Advancement in knitting, weaving, nonwoven, and braiding technologies
• Protective textiles
• Smart textiles in medical and healthcare industry
• Sports and athletes textiles
• Advancement in body scanning technologies – garment – fit, size
• Electronic textiles – Conductive fibres/fabrics
• Geo, and automotive textiles
• Circular – sustainable textiles – Green materials
• Interactions between the textiles and human body
• Modelling and simulations
• Textiles based sensors
• Shape and stress memory materials
• Packaging textiles
• 3D printing and additive manufacturing
• Testing for smart textiles
• Marketing and competitiveness of smart textiles
• Other related to the smart textiles and technologies topics
Note: Conference language was restricted to English only.
STET-2024 was a resounding success, attracting academic professionals, industry leaders, and research students (Ph.D. and Master’s) from various countries to participate in the two-day virtual event. The conference showcased advancements in the smart textile sector through engaging presentations by research experts, industry innovators, and students. It offered a comprehensive exploration of smart textile materials and emerging technologies.
