Smart textiles currently occupy an important place in the textile industry and are used in various technical fields such as medicine, architecture, sports and special clothing. Within the framework of this idea, optical fibers qualify as passive smart textiles and are very interesting for clothing lighting, as well as for controlling friction and pressure in clothing. The purpose of this study is to determine the possibility of obtaining a reflective knitted fabric with increased mechanical strength. Three variants of cotton knitted fabrics with the introduction of polymer optical fiber in the form of polymethylmethacrylate monofilament have been obtained. In one of the variants, an optical fiber is inserted as a weft thread between the loop rows, in the other two it participates in looping. A significant increase in the physico-mechanical properties of the web was found with the introduction of a polymer optical fiber.
