DuPont Advanced Materials is about to make something “smart” that you might not expect. The company has released a line of stretchable electronic inks and films designed for clothing called DuPont Intexar.
The beauty of Intexar is that it creates an intelligent garment that is flexible and comfortable, according to the company. It’s embedded directly into the fabric with form-fitting circuits meaning the feel is no different than a regular shirt. Don’t worry about destroying it in the wash either; it’s built to withstand up to 100 cycles.
The technology itself provides the user biometric data like heart rate, breathing rate, form awareness and muscle tension.
