Smart and Intelligent Fibres

I think that smart and intelliegent fibres have a huge amount of potential. Textiles like Kevlar have been useful for a long time and for numerous applications, as a designer I am very interested in investigating smart and intelligent fibres that have numerous applications.

The possibility of integrating fibres into garments that have the potential to change colour, texture and style are exciting. The majority of objects we have and use have consequences, however with extensive research is it possible to create smart and intelligent fibres that are no worse on the environment than for example, cotton?
