Abstract
Description
n/a
Textile heating systems is one of the major growing sectors in textiles. This is due to the development of conductive yarns and emerge of computerised knitting systems. These together made possible for introduction of heating systems which are directly made from textiles. Main advantages of this improvement is the generation of heated materials with built-in flexibility provided by textile structures. This chapter will be looking at different types of textile heating systems, their applications and important criterion required in design and production of polymer based heated textiles.
