Abstract
Multifunctional fibers represent a cornerstone of human civilization, playing a pivotal role in numerous aspects of societal development. Natural biomaterials, in contrast to synthetic alternatives, offer environmental sustainability, biocompatibility, and biodegradability. Among these biomaterials, natural silk is favored in biomedical applications and smart fiber technology due to its accessibility, superior mechanical properties, diverse functional groups, controllable structure, and exceptional biocompatibility. This review delves into the intricate structure and properties of natural silk fibers and their extensive applications in biomedicine and smart fiber technology. It highlights the critical significance of silk fibers in the development of multifunctional materials, emphasizing their mechanical strength, biocompatibility, and biodegradability. A detailed analysis of the hierarchical structure of silk fibers elucidates how these structural features contribute to their unique properties. The review also encompasses the biomedical applications of silk fibers, including surgical sutures, tissue engineering, and drug delivery systems, along with recent advancements in smart fiber applications such as sensing, optical technologies, and energy storage. The enhancement of functional properties of silk fibers through chemical or physical modifications is discussed, suggesting broader high-end applications. Additionally, the review addresses current challenges and future directions in the application of silk fibers in biomedicine and smart fiber technologies, underscoring silk's potential in driving contemporary technological innovations. The versatility and sustainability of silk fibers position them as pivotal elements in contemporary materials science and technology, fostering the development of next-generation smart materials.

[PMID: 35799923 PMCID: PMC9219042 DOI: 10.1039/d2ra03116g] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/17/2022] [Accepted: 06/19/2022] [Indexed: 11/21/2022] Open
Abstract
A novel method for the preparation of silver plated conductive polyamide fibres (PA/Ag) based on tannic acid modification was reported in this work. The highly adhesive tannic acid was grafted onto the surface of sulphuric acid roughened polyamide fibres to sensitize the fibre. Then, the sensitized polyamide fibres were activated by low-concentration silver nitrate to form reactive centers. Chemical silver plating was finally carried out using silver ammonia solution with glucose. The surface morphology and chemical properties of the prepared polyamide fibres were analyzed and the surface resistance, fastness to washing, thermal decomposition properties, electrothermal properties, sensing properties and practical applications of the silver-plated polyamide fibres were also tested. The test results show that the prepared conductive fibres have excellent conductivity and stability, and have potential applications in flexible electronic devices and sensing fields.

Abstract
Flexible capacitive pressure sensors have been widely used in electronic skin, human movement and health monitoring, and human-machine interactions. Recently, electronic textiles afford a valuable alternative to traditional capacitive pressure sensors due to their merits of flexibility, light weight, air permeability, low cost, and feasibility to fit various surfaces. The textile-based functional layers can serve as electrodes, dielectrics, and substrates, and various devices with semi-textile or all-textile structures have been well developed. This paper provides a comprehensive review of recent developments in textile-based flexible capacitive pressure sensors. The latest research progresses on textile devices with sandwich structures, yarn structures, and in-plane structures are introduced, and the influences of different device structures on performance are discussed. The applications of textile-based sensors in human wearable devices, robotic sensing, and human-machine interaction are then summarized. Finally, evolutionary trends, future directions, and challenges are highlighted.
