Electronic textiles (e-textiles) have become more and more important in daily life and attracted increased attention of the scientific community over the last decade. This interdisciplinary field of interest ranges from material science, over chemistry, physics, electrical engineering, information technology to textile design. Numerous applications can already be found in sports, safety, healthcare, etc. Throughout the life of service, e-textiles undergo several exposures, e.g., mechanical stress, chemical corrosion, etc., that cause aging and functional losses in the materials. The review provides a broad and critical overview on the functional ageing of electronic textiles on different levels from fibres to fabrics. The main objective is to review possible aging mechanisms and elaborate the effect of aging on (electrical) performances of e-textiles. The review also provides an overview on different laboratory methods for the investigation on accelerated functional ageing. Finally, we try to build a model of cumulative fatigue damage theory for modelling the change of e-textile properties in their lifetime.
电子纺织品（e-textiles）在日常生活中变得越来越重要，在过去十年中引起了科学界的更多关注。这个跨学科的研究领域涵盖了从材料科学、化学、物理、电气工程、信息技术到纺织品设计等多个领域。在运动、安全、医疗保健等领域已经有许多应用。在整个使用寿命期间，电子纺织品会经历多次暴露，例如机械应力、化学腐蚀等，这会导致材料老化和功能丧失。这篇综述从纤维到织物的不同层面上，对电子纺织品的功能老化进行了广泛而批判性的概述。主要目的是综述可能的老化机制，并阐述老化对电子纺织品（电气）性能的影响。这篇综述还概述了不同的实验室方法，用于研究加速的功能老化。最后，我们尝试建立一个累积疲劳损伤理论模型，以模拟电子纺织品在其使用寿命内性能的变化。
