Smart Textiles and Intelligent Textiles

Smart textiles are textiles that can sense and react to environmental conditions or stimuli from mechanical, thermal, chemical, electrical, or magnetic sources. Smart textiles may combine fabrics with glass, ceramics, metal, or carbon to produce lightweight hybrids with incredible properties. Sophisticated finishes, such as silicone coatings and holographic laminates, transform color, texture, and even form.

Application of Technical Textiles in Everyday Life

Technical textile end-usage on heat and flame protection fabrics, waterproof fabrics, geotextiles, implantable and non-implantable medical textile materials, extracorporeal devices with technical textiles, and new developments in Technical Textiles

The Modern Era of Technical Textiles

The technical textiles supply chain is a long and complex one, stretching from the manufacturers of polymers for technical fibers, coating, and specialty membranes through to the converters and fabricators who incorporate technical textiles into finished products or use them as an essential part of their industrial operations.

Electrospinning as a nanoscale technology of the twenty-first century

ELECTROSPINNING PROCESS Electrospinning is from the academic as well as technical perspective presently the most versatile technique for the preparation of continuous nanofibers obtained from numerous materials including polymers, metals, and ceramics.  Electrospinning is a physical process used for the formation of thin fibers in which a viscous liquid is subjected to electrical shear stress […]

Nano technology – Introduction, Definition, Market, Applications

When the diameter of the fibers is in the nanometer range, several amazing characteristics appear, such as the very large surface area to volume ratio, flexibility in surface functionalities, and superior mechanical performance (e.g., stiffness and tensile strength) compared with any other known form of material.

Vinyl Tarpaulin (Technical Fabric) Part – 1

Tarpaulins are large fabric sheet of super heavy duty and reinforced, tightly woven with high fabric cover factor, flexible hard wearing, breathable water resistant or water proof, fire retardant coated material uses as protective covering against moisture.

Finishing Technical Textiles

While using normal fibers to produce technical textiles it is imperative that high tech functional finishes are imparted to them to make them functionally superior and relevant to the end use application such as anti-bacterial, anti-static, UV protective, thermal, or biodegradable functions – are playing an increasingly important role. Since technical textiles are generally not fashion oriented, performance requirements and technical specifications determine the success of a product.Therefore fi
