SOFT E-Textile Can Protect Against Toxins

Nov-05-17 The SOFT e-textile can detect toxic gases and protect the wearer from them.

Developed by a team at Dartmouth University, the SOFT (Self-Organized Framework on Textiles) fabric relies on flexible, textile-supported electronic sensors based on materials called metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). These sensors can alert the wearer in real time to toxic gas contact, while the textile responds by actively filtering the toxin, preventing it from penetrating the fabric.
