Abstract in brief

This article explains how various materials like metals, conducting polymers, carbon nanotubes, graphene, and MXenes can be combined to create electronic textiles (etextiles) with multiple functions, using fibers, yarns, and patterned fabrics.
Many promising designs incorporate multiple types of materials, such as elastic fibers with conducting cores and stretchable polymers, or textile devices made with conducting polymers, 2D materials, and metal electrodes.
The development of wash-resistant, sustainable etextiles is ongoing, but more focus is needed on durability and environmental impact for these advanced fabrics.]
