| Abstract [eng] |
The objective of the work is to create innovative fashion products, using new technology and patent decisions. The problems of integrating smart technologies into the clothing have been examined in this Master‘s thesis. The literature, which focus on innovative devices integrated into clothing has been reviewed in this work. Patents of smart clothing and equipment have been surveyed. The change of generations and the main differences between them have been reviewed. The generation Z has been examined more because it is most closely connected with the latest technology. The research methodology has been created and quantitative and bending stiffness tests have been accomplished. In the quantitative research the popularity of „unisex“ style and smart technology in Lithuania and abroad is being determined. „Unisex“ clothing style – free-style clothes, suitable for both male and female representatives. The quantitative marketing research has helped to determine the direction of collection style and to find out what matters most for the respondents in their clothing. The questionnaire helped to sort out the opinion of respondents about smart clothing. The aim of bending stiffness research was to identify and select the stiffest fabric for collection‘s implementation and for the smart fastener‘s sewing on. The smart device is integrated into the zipper, which is sewn in to the product. The material that has the highest stiffness is DMTSV – many-layer knit with thermally connected layers with inner polyurethane foam layer, also material SEMSJ – transversal, three-dimensional knit with connective layer. The transversal, threedimensional knit with connective layer is thicker than the knit made of many-layers with thermally connected layers. The work represents a designed part which reflects the implemented idea of the smart fastener and the essence of the collection. The project of patent invention and the request have been submitted. Conclusions and appendix have been presented in the work. |
