Conductive textile materials make many smart textile applications possible and do not react to their environment, especially those that monitor body functions. Smart textile applications such as Anti EMF Fabric, electrostatic discharge, communication, sensors and heating textiles clothing, are widely used. In sensors, heating panels and actuators, the best-suited materials are highly conductive metals such as copper yarns, silver, steel and copper, and Stainless steel can be made durable, soft and flexible enough to be knitted or woven. By mixing conductive polymers, electro conductive fillers such as metal particles, and carbon black, Electro conductive materials are required and electroconductive plastics can be created.

In the last three decades, the development of new kinds of textiles that as so-called interactive and smart textiles have continued unabated. As the demand for these textiles has been increasing with the emergence of innovative processing technologies, new fabrics, and new fibres, their applications and Smart textile materials are set to drastically boom. Moreover, people are eagerly demanding robust e-textiles, flexible, washable, and lightweight. On the integration techniques, the post-treatment, and the properties of the starting material, these features depend.

To produce interactive electronic textiles and EMF protection fabric, electrically conductive textiles make it possible. For entertainment, communication, safety, health care, computation, homeland security, protective clothing, thermal purposes, fashion and wearable electronics, they can be used. The applications details are listed below:

Infotainment: video devices, MP3 players, integrated compact disc players, electronic game panels, pagers and cell phones, digital cameras, etc.

Location/position: integrated GPS (global positioning system) monitoring, geriatric monitoring, asset tracking, livestock monitoring, active child /toddler/ infant monitoring, etc.

Biophysical monitoring (qualitative/strategic assessment only): monitoring clinical trials, monitoring the vital signs of infants, cardiovascular monitoring, etc.

Environmental response: heating change, density change, colour change, etc.

Government: military (support personnel and soldiers on the battlefield), public safety (law enforcement, firefighting,), space programmers, etc.

Consumer: residential interior design, home healthcare, health and fitness (amateur and professional; outdoor and indoor activities), gaming, fashion, etc.

Commercial: retail sites, commercial interior design, etc.

Medical: assisted-living units, medical centres, hospitals, etc.

Industrial: exposure-indicating textiles, automotive, protective textiles, etc use EMF shielding clothing.
