スマート衣料の開発:心拍測定や電力貯蔵が可能な繊維技術(Your clothes may become smarter than you)

2026-03-06 ジョージア大学

米ジョージア大学(University of Georgia)の研究者らは、人体の状態を測定したり電力を蓄えたりできる「スマートテキスタイル(スマート衣料)」の可能性を分析した。研究では、金属由来の二次元材料であるMXeneを繊維にコーティングまたは印刷することで、衣服に高度な機能を持たせる技術に注目した。MXeneを用いた布は、心拍数、血圧、体温などの生体情報をリアルタイムで測定できるほか、抗菌性を持つため医療現場の衣料として有用とされる。また太陽光からエネルギーを収集して蓄電する機能も備え、衣服自体がウェアラブル電源としてスマートフォンなどを充電する可能性もある。一方で酸素や水による劣化や製造時の環境負荷などの課題もあり、研究チームは耐久性向上と持続可能な材料開発を進めている。研究成果はACS Omegaに掲載された。

Abstract

スマート衣料の開発:心拍測定や電力貯蔵が可能な繊維技術(Your clothes may become smarter than you)

The two-dimensional transition metal carbides, nitrides, and carbonatites known as MXenes have become a revolutionary class of materials for developing multipurpose wearable electronic fabrics, or e-textiles. Their remarkable mechanical flexibility, hydrophilicity, customizable surface terminations, and electrical conductivity make them perfect for incorporation into a variety of textile substrates. This review paper provides a thorough examination of MXene structures, synthesis pathways, and surface chemistry, emphasizing how these properties affect performance in textile applications. Scalability, homogeneity, and durability are evaluated for a variety of integration techniques, including dip coating, spray coating, printing, electrospinning, layer-by-layer assembly, and composite production. A wide range of applications, such as extremely sensitive strain and pressure sensors, energy storage and harvesting devices, electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding, thermal management systems, antimicrobial and medical textiles, and communication interfaces, demonstrate the versatility of MXene-based e-textiles. In addition to durability issues, including oxidation resistance, wash stability, and mechanical robustness, special emphasis is placed on performance parameters such as conductivity, gauge factor, shielding effectiveness, and thermal response. Lastly, the paper outlines potential approaches to creating sustainable, biocompatible, and commercially viable MXene-integrated textiles, while discussing existing limitations, including cytotoxicity, environmental stability, and limitations of large-scale production. Through the integration of materials science, textile engineering, and application-driven design, MXenes has the potential to transform the next generation of innovative fabrics for consumer electronics, healthcare, and defense.
