Özet

The smart/interactive textile structures that integrate electronics and textile materials have realized their great potential in recent years. The garments, which can heat the body, will possibly be one of the most widely used products as electrotextiles for future use in daily life. In this study, steel-based conductive yarns were used to produce heating panels within the study about interactive electronic heated garment design. Portable power supplies were applied to fabric-based panels to obtain a heating function. In addition to an electronic circuit, a functional garment containing all of the systems was designed and produced. The performance of the heating garment prototype was evaluated on a thermal mannequin by testing in cold weather environments.
