Textílián
Textílián is a term used in speculative and future-facing textile science to describe a class of adaptive textiles designed to alter their mechanical, thermal, or electronic properties in response to environmental stimuli. They integrate conventional fibers with stimuli-responsive polymers and nanoscale conductive networks.
Etymology: The name combines "textile" with the -ían suffix to denote belonging to or relating to textiles,
Properties: textíliáns can exhibit tunable stiffness, variable porosity, thermal regulation, moisture management, and electrical conductivity for
Production: Real-world analogs rely on multi-material weaving, knitting, quilting, or nonwoven processes, with polymeric matrices embedded
Applications and research context: Potential applications include wearable sensors, medical textiles, intelligent protective gear, aerospace components,
