E-textiles represent an emerging technology aiming toward the development of fabric with augmented functionalities, enabling the integration of displays, sensors, and other electronic components into textiles. Healthcare, protective clothing, fashion, and sports are a few examples application areas of e-textiles. Light-emitting textiles can have different applications: sensing, fashion, visual communication, light therapy, etc. Light emission can be integrated with textiles in different ways: fabricating light-emitting fibers and planar light-emitting textiles or employing side-emitting polymer optical fibers (POFs) coupled with light-emitting diodes (LEDs). Different kinds of technology have been investigated: alternating current electroluminescent devices (ACELs), inorganic and organic LEDs, and light-emitting electrochemical cells (LECs). The different device working principles and architectures are discussed in this review, highlighting the most relevant aspects and the possible approaches for their integration with textiles. Regarding POFs, the methodology to obtain side emissions and the critical aspects for their integration into textiles are discussed in this review. The main applications of light-emitting fabrics are illustrated, demonstrating that LEDs, alone or coupled with POFs, represent the most robust technology. On the other hand, OLEDs (Organic LEDs) are very promising for the future of light-emitting fabrics, but some issues still need to be addressed.

The application of pyrometry to retrieve particle temperature in particulate-generating flames strictly requires the knowledge of the spectral behavior of emissivity of light-emitting particles. Normally, this spectral behavior is considered time-independent. The current paper challenges this assumption and explains why the emissivity of oxide nanoparticles formed in flame can change with time. The suggested phenomenon is related to transitions of electrons between the valence and conduction energy bands in oxides that are wide-gap dielectrics. The emissivity change is particularly crucial for the interpretation of fast processes occurring during laser-induced experiments. In the present work, we compare the response of titania particles produced by a flame spray to the laser irradiation at two different excitation wavelengths. The difference in the temporal behavior of the corresponding light emission intensities is attributed to the different mechanisms of electron excitation during the laser pulse. Interband transitions that are possible only in the case of the laser photon energy exceeding the titania energy gap led to the increase of the electron density in the conduction band. Relaxation of those electrons back to the valence band is the origin of the observed emissivity drop after the UV laser irradiation.
