Smart Fibers for Electric Vehicles (EVs): Towards Intelligent, Lightweight, and Efficient Mobility
Smart fiber represents a transformative innovation in intelligent materials, garnering significant academic and industrial interest within the Electric Vehicle (EV) sector. This technology pertains to multifunctional fibers that integrate electrical, mechanical, and sensing properties into a singular material architecture. Unlike conventional materials—which serve primarily as mechanical reinforcements—smart fibers function as sensors, electrical conductors, and energy storage media. Consequently, their integration into EVs marks a pivotal stride toward more intelligent, lightweight, and streamlined mobility.
