N1 - George K Stylios Senior Professor; George K Stylios (https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7911-1058) is Professor of Textiles at HWU where he is working as a senior research professor since 1999 and director of the Research Institute for Flexible Materials; structural mechanics, nanotextiles, SMART textiles, wearables, design/technology. He obtained his PhD from Leeds University working for Marks & Spencer Plc in 1985, became lecturer at Bradford University (1985-1999), Fellow of the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology, Japan in 1992, and to a personal chair in Industrial Systems Engineering in 1994 in recognition of his work on the “fabric/machine interface”. He has led many successful research projects (~ £20 Million) from research councils, the EU and directly from industry and as director he led large government initiatives such as the Regional Innovation Strategy for Yorkshire and Humberside (£14M, 1995-99) and the Faraday Partnership in Technical Textiles (Technitex £7M, 2004-10), working across industry and improving products and processes. For the latter he received 100% in Research Impact for his work in REF14. He has numerous journal publications and PhD completions with most of his PhD students enjoying excellent careers, becoming professors or directors of companies in their own right. GKS has been the founding editor of the International Journal of Science and Technology (1987 – present), Guest Editor for many journals, convener and keynote speaker at many international conferences and events, peer reviewer and advisor to government bodies and industry at home and abroad.

N2 - The sensing/adapting/responding, multifunctionality, low energy, small size and weight, ease of forming, and low-cost attributes of SMART textiles and their multidisciplinary scope offer numerous end uses in medical, sports and fitness, military, fashion, automotive, aerospace, built environment, and energy industries. The research and development for these new and high-value materials crosses scientific boundaries, redefines material science design and engineering, and enhances quality of life and our environment. “Novel SMART Textiles” is a focused special issue that reports the latest research of this field and facilitates dissemination, networking, discussion, and debate.
