Abstract
Abstract Smart textiles with adaptive thermoregulatory functions are crucial for maintaining human thermal comfort and mitigating weather‐related health risks in dynamic environments. However, most existing designs rely solely on either moisture‐ or temperature‐response mechanisms, leading to suboptimal thermal regulation. Developing smart textiles that respond to both environmental temperature and physiological cues (such as sweating or shivering) while maintaining synergistic functionality without mutual interference is still challenging. Herein, leveraging a structure‐material synergistic strategy, a hierarchically engineered logic‐gated textile is reported that computationally integrates water‐triggered pore switching (opening/closing) and temperature‐dependent wettability modulation to coordinate temperature sensing and perspiratory response, mimicking thermal regulation in the human body. Through AND‐logic integration of environmental and physiological inputs, the textile autonomously switches between cooling and warming modes to maintain thermal homeostasis under varying conditions, including hot, cold, and rainy weather. Moreover, the textile design is industrially compatible and adaptable to diverse fiber materials, thus offering a generalized and scalable platform for the development of next‐generation smart wearables with adaptive and automatic thermal regulation.
