Abstract
This review encompasses the basic information’s about polymers and smart polymers, which are materials can have remarkable changes in their physical or chemical properties with environmental stimulation. smart polymers can be divided into many types such as color change polymers, shelf healing polymers, shape memory polymers, smart polymer gels. By incorporating smart polymers into textiles, novel functionality may be added to them. To improve or create textile smart capabilities, smart polymers, such as thermal- and pH-responsive hydrogels, thermal-, moisture-, and light-responsive polymers, have been applied to textiles. The applications of smart polymers in the textile and garment industries are discussed.
