Sažetak
Smart textiles progressively play a significant role in the European textile sector and help the textile industry in its transformation into a competitive knowledge driven industry. Nowadays, the integration of electrical and electronic systems within fabrics and composites is completely viable with textile sensors which find usage in many areas including transport industry, medicine and sports. In the case of high performance textile reinforced composites, textile sensors can be integrated during the weaving process. After integration in the reinforcement they not only act as a part of structural material but also have actuating, sensing, and microprocessing capabilities. In this paper, sensor yarns were developed from E- glass/polypropylene (GF/PP) commingled yarn and implemented during weaving of 2D structures at the ARM loom due to checking the thermo-forming consolidation behavior as important factor for several future applications.
