Abstract
Wearable sweat sensors have received considerable attention due to their great potential for noninvasive continuous monitoring of an individual's health status applications. However, the low secretion rate and fast evaporation of sweat pose challenges in collecting sweat from sedentary individuals for noninvasive analysis of body physiology. Here, we demonstrate wearable textiles for continuous monitoring of sweat at rest using the combination of a heating element and a microfluidic channel to increase localized skin sweat secretion rates and combat sweat evaporation, enabling accurate and stable monitoring of trace amounts of sweat. The Janus sensing yarns with a glucose sensing sensitivity of 36.57 mA cm-2 mM-1 are embroidered into the superhydrophobic heated textile to collect sweat directionally, resulting in improved sweat collection efficiency of up to 96 and 75% retention. The device also maintains a highly durable sensing performance, even in dynamic deformation, recycling, and washing. The microfluidic sensing textile can be further designed into a wireless sensing system that enables sedentary-compatible sweat analysis for the continuous, real-time monitoring of body glucose levels at rest.

Abstract
In this study, cellulose nanocrystals hollow microspheres (HMs) were fabricated through Pickering emulsion polymerization, in which hydrophobically modified cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) acted as Pickering stabilizers. The hollow interior core was prepared by solvent evaporation. This manuscript describes the synthesis of HMs in detail. The hollow structure and nanoscale size of HMs were verified using TEM. The resultant HMs could easily coat self-forming films on the surface of PET fabrics. Additionally, these coatings exhibited superior breathability and moisture permeability properties with a high one-way transport index of 936.33% and a desirable overall moisture management capability of 0.72. Cellulose nanocrystal hollow microsphere coatings could be used as a moisture-wicking functionality agent for finishing fabrics, oil-water separation, and fog harvesting.

Abstract
Clothing is considered to be an important element of human social activities. With the increasing maturity of 3D printing technology, functional 3D printing technology can realize the perfect combination of clothing and electronic devices while helping smart clothing to achieve specific functions. Furthermore, the application of functional 3D printing technology in clothing not only provides people with the most comfortable and convenient wearing experience, but also completely subverts consumers' perception of traditional clothing. This paper introduced the progress of the application of 3D printing from the aspect of traditional clothing and smart clothing through two mature 3D printing technologies normally used in the field of clothing, and summarized the challenges and prospects of 3D printing technology in the field of smart clothing. Finally, according to the analysis of the gap between 3D-printed clothing and traditionally made clothing due to the material limitations, this paper predicted that the rise in intelligent materials will provide a new prospect for the development of 3D-printed clothing. This paper will provide some references for the application research of 3D printing in the field of smart clothing.

Abstract
Moisture (sweat) management in textile products is crucial to regulate human thermo-physiological comfort. Traditional hydrophilic textiles, such as cotton, can absorb sweat, but they retain it, leading to undesired wet adhesion sensation and even excessive cooling. To address such issues, the development of functional textiles with directional water transport (DWT) has garnered great deal of interest. DWT textile materials can realize directional water transport and prevent water penetration in the reverse direction, which is a great application for sweat release in daily life. In this review article, the mechanism of directional water transport is analyzed. Then, three key methods to achieve DWT performance are reviewed, including the design of the fabric structure, surface modification and electrospinning. In addition, the applications of DWT textile materials in functional clothing, electronic textiles, and wound dressing are introduced. Finally, the challenges and future development trends of DWT textile materials in the textile field are discussed.
