TL;DR: In this article, a yarn made of composite fibers, which is an active material within the knit structure that transforms in response to a change in temperature, is used to enable changes in the fabric that are adaptive to changes in environmental conditions during wear.
Abstract: Knit textile structures are formed of a yarn made of composite fibers, which is an active material within the knit structure that transforms in response to a change in temperature. In combination with non-active fibers and performative knit structure, this contraction can enable changes in the fabric that are adaptive to changes in environmental conditions during wear.
