Under Armour: In the next few years, all our products will be smart.
It is no kidding! Today we will introduce some newest tech about smart clothing which specially focus on performance control area.
when you are a morning jog in the park, your campaign T-shirt being constantly monitor your heart rate, body temperature and breathing rhythm, when you are in a marathon, because your pace is too high and cause rapid heart rate, your running tights will immediately remind you to slow down the pace, quickly break when you feel seriously unwell, your smart clothes will automatically transfer the body of a variety of sensor signals to match the scene of emergency personnel power or phone.
it sounds a little science fiction , but scientists now have put him into a reality, smart textiles is growing at an unprecedented rate into the market!
How it works?
As we know smart clothes have been applied to the conductive material of carbon fiber, silver fiber, but these two materials have some weaknesses, such as silver could not washable, carbon fiber and relatively brittle, less flexible, and now scientists have found a better performance a material: graphene
Below is the traditional two way of Operating principle:
Graphene Application
What is Graphene?
Graphene is a unique carbon atom, is the thinnest substance capable of conducting electricity, there is only one atom thick, but is very excellent conductivity properties. Also has high mechanical strength is also very flexible and is one of the strongest known material.

2 Ways Working Mechanism
Scientists have developed a new technology that can shift from copper to graphene polypropylene fibers and polypropylene fiber is more commonly used as a textile fiber, so you can take it as a circuit implanted into the fabric fibers which go .
Another way is to be made into graphene graphene ink, the electronic component circuits and sensors with graphene ink is directly printed onto the garment up.
