Background introduction. 




The potential applications of intelligent textile equipment in wearable human motion monitoring, health care and personal thermal management have attracted more and more attention. MXene (Ti3C2Tx) is a new two-dimensional material with remarkable properties, which has been widely used in the field of wearable electronic products. However, the preparation of smart textiles based on MXene and smart textiles that can prevent MXene oxidation is still a challenge.Here, by constructing a multi-core-shell structure, that is, decorating polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) coating on polydopamine (PDA) modified elastic fabric, and then polydimethylsiloxane coating, a kind of waterproof and breathable intelligent fabric is made. The MXene wrapping the fiber forms a conductive network, and PDMS can not only protect MXene from oxidation, but also give the fabric super hydrophobicity and corrosion resistance. Smart textiles have excellent and durable photothermal and electrothermal conversion properties. More importantly, textile electronics show sensitive and stable strain sensing performance and high thermal coefficient temperature sensing ability.Obviously, this kind of intelligent textile equipment has a broad application prospect in the next generation of integrated wearable electronic devices.

III. Summary of the full text. 




In a word, the super-hydrophobic and breathable multi-functional MX alkenyl fabric was prepared by layer-by-layer dipping method. The MXene plate can be assembled to the surface of PDA modified fiber by bending force and hydrogen bond, and then it can be well protected after PDMS coating. The designed smart textile electronics not only show super hydrophobicity and satisfactory air permeability with 151° CA, and allow the transport of gas including but not limited to water vapor, but also put forward that the superior photothermal and electrothermal effects have good recyclability and durability for external photons and electrons. In addition, the conductive composite fabric has excellent strain sensing properties and can be used to monitor human motion. Surprisingly, due to the unique NTC characteristics of MXene, smart textiles have real-time temperature sensing, high TCR and good durability.Therefore, the perfect integration of these functions can make intelligent all-in-one textiles with good mechanical robustness and environmental stability become a promising application in human motion and temperature monitoring, health care and personal thermal management.
