Care symbols for clothing
Whole table of care symbols
Here are some meaning of these care/laundry symbols for clothing.Afterward, I have looked inside my own clothes and record some care/laundry symbols information.
Research and explain about the following unusual fabrics
Metallic
The term "metallic" is correctly applied to those threads that appear to be made of metal, but which are actually composed of a synthetic material such as polyester. Since real metal threads have become rare and expensive, metallic threads are an economical and viable substitute. It is often used in knits, and the relative cheapness means that even casual garments like swimsuits can be made from Calvin Klein (American, 1942-present). Woman's Bathing Suit, Resort 1989-90. Silver lurex knit. However, it is most well known for being used in evening and disco-wear.
SMART
Smart textiles can be a battery, a led, an electronic chip, or a sensor. The technology is incorporated into the fabric through various methods, such as conductive fibres or multilayer 3D printing.
The purpose of smart fabrics is to provide

They completed within the realm of smart textiles and developing software for smart textiles design
Luminous
The Luminous Fiber Optic Fabric is a fabric that literally lights up (light emitting fabric / illuminated fabric); It is made of ultra-thin optical fibres, directly woven with synthetic fibers. The optical fibers are specially processed in order to allow the light to be emitted along the full length of the fibers (side emitting fibers). The optical fibers are then connected at the edge of the fabric to ultra-bright LEDs which inject light into the fabric. The light is distributed evenly across the entire surface of the fabric, resulting in a self-illuminating textile.
3D printed
3D printing not only provides a solution to the environmental crises caused by the textile industry, but it has also opened many new doors for textile scientists.
Designer Danit Peleg
The designs are mostly meant only as a concept. Indeed, the see-through nature of the outfits does require one to wear fabric to cover up underneath. However, Peleg states that, in the future, she hopes to see similar designs being printed with more advanced materials to solve some of the current issues.
