Abstract: The field of the DISCLOSURE lies in adaptive materials for implementation in textiles, wearables and smart clothing. The present disclosure relates to functional fabrics or devices, comprising flexible fabrics or fiber-based materials which reversibly change shape upon stimulation with temperature and/or electrical (electrical field and/or charge) and/or upon applying tension. The present disclosure also relates to the use of said functional fabrics or devices, in particular for changing the hardness-softness in wearables or in parts of objects, or as variable friction layer in robotic grippers. The present disclosure also relates to wearable electronics, smart clothing, sport bandages and compression stockings, flexible sheet heaters. The present disclosure also relates to functional fabrics or devices and theirs uses in shape morphing fabrics, as soft/hard powered exoskeletons for posture corrective/supportive wearables or robotic artificial muscles.
