ABSTRACT=<p>The fast-growing interest in smart textiles for wearable electronics or sensors is stimulating considerable activity in the development of functional fibers and fabrics that incorporate graphene, due to its outstanding electrical, mechanical, and thermal properties, among others. This paper provides an overview of the current state-of-the-art of research in this field, and a perspective on the factors decisive to its growth, in particular the polymer–graphene interphase.</p>
