The composite textile (i-SPT) has high tensile properties, biochemical sensing abilities, air permeability and motion monitoring capabilities. More specifically, the patterned microfluidic channels in the textile allow liquids to flow through them. Also, the pH-responsive photonic crystals sense hydrogen ions in the wound area, and an integrated microelectronic circuit in the textile imparts high sensitivity for motion monitoring.
