We are currently working with a used garment / textile supplier to see the likely hood of using 2nd hand
textiles as the outer layer of the biomimetic garments - however finding 2nd hand fabrics with the right performance characteristics is easier said than done.
The ease with which they were able to produce a
textile with these filaments prove that the smart
textile could either be used
as a part or make up the entirety of
outer layer clothing like jackets to power personal health tracking devices, smartphones and more.
