Technical Textiles: A Promising Future

Technical Textile: A Promising Future ICTC 2009

Broad Division of Textile

• Traditional textile, general textile– General use, to improve aesthetic sense, for

communication etc• Technical textile, industrial textile, and

functional textile– to serve a particular and technical requirement

Techinal Textile: A Promising Future ICTC 2009


Historic Perspective of Technical Textile

• Before invention of synthetic fibres:– Natural fibres were treated with chemicals to make

it useful in some specific situations– Nonwoven techniques were used to manufacture

technical textile

Reasons of Technical Textile Growth

1. Health and safety2. Cost effectiveness3. Durability4. High strength5. Light weight6. Versatility7. Customisation8. User friendliness9. eco-friendliness10. Logistical convenience, etc (Chakrabarty, 2007).



Technical Textile Synonymous

• Technical textiles• Industrial textiles• Functional textiles


Technical Textile by Definition

• Materials and products intended for end-uses other than non-protective clothing, household furnishing, and floor covering, where the fabric or fibrous component is selected principally but not exclusively for its performance and properties as opposed to its aesthetic or decorative characteristics“

• (Textile Terms and Definitions, TI, Manchester, 10the Ed.).


• Technical textiles are materials meeting high technical and quality requirements (mechanical, thermal, electrical, durability...) giving them the ability to offer technical functions.

• Encyclopedia Universalis


Production of Technical Textiles

• Application of certain chemicals ( water and fire proofing etc)

• Use of intelligent fibers (glass fiber, carbon fibers)

• Special technical in fabric formation (3 D weaving, Double layer knitting etc)


Seven Ways to Make Techinal Textiles

• Thermo-forming• Three Dimensional Weaving• Three Dimensional Knitting• Fabrics Produced Using Nanotechnology• Heat-set Synthetics• Finishing Treatments such as Water-resistant

Coatings & Holographic Laminates• Hand-made elements such as Stitch or Appliqué(Tex.in ,2009)


Types of Technical Textiles1. Mechanical functions (Mechanical resistance, Reinforcement of materials,

Elasticity)

2. Exchange functions (Filtration, Insulation and conductivity, Drainage Impermeability, Absorption)

3. Functionalities for living beings (Antibacterial, Antirust, mites, Biocompatibility, Biodegradability/bioresorption)

4. Protective functions (Thermal, Fire, Mechanical, Chemicals, Impermeable, - Breathable, Antistatic Particles, antireleaseVicenza, Electrical insulation, IR and UV rays, NBC High visibility Electromagnetic fields .....) Nomez divides Technical textiles into main four classes based on their functions (Nomez)

• Consumption of Technical Textiles


A Few Modern Examples• Breathable Synthetic Fabrics• Some Synthetic Fibers are Ultra-lightweight & High-stretch, some are

thin & light-reflective, Some Hollow Fibers Trap Air to Retain Heat• Natural Fibers Blended with Synthetics to Improve Strength, Crease

Resistance & Easy Care• Ultra Microfibers – Using the latest in micro technology, scientists are

building fabrics where the fiber itself is scrutinized and manipulated in minute detail. A microfiber is by definition a material in which the yarn’s thickness is equal to or less than 1/60th the thickness of an average human hair. Ultra-microfibers on the market are even finer – some having thickness of just 1/200th the thickness of human hair.


• Fabrics that have relief surfaces and even three-dimensional (3-D) structure

• Metallic textiles – fluid & shimmering materials• Extreme Sportswear• Polyamide (warp) and paper (weft) woven together and then

hand silkscreen printed. This exquisite fabric, designed in a customized manner in Japan, is used for high-end interiors.

• Microfiber with metal foil spots combine to give a consistent metallic finish. This blend can be used for high-end fashion garments (especially outerwear)


• Phase change materials incorporated in fabrics can absorb excess heat, store it, and gradually release it later. These are ideal for body temperature control.

• Fabrics with charcoal as a component can filter odour and pollution. Charcoal was used for its health-giving properties as it has the ability to absorb chemical impurities in the air.

• Microfibers engineered with substances suspended in minute bubbles that can be gradually released. These microcapsules can contain medication, vitamins, insect repellants, moisturizers, essential oils or perfumes...


E- Textiles

• Sports shoes• Wearable computer jackets• Warning vests• Photonic textiles for innovative lighting

solutions• Wearable E-Health system• Electronic Textiles to Help Battlefield Medics


Synergy Affect• Combination of Stainless Steel Fiber with Cotton & Polyamide to

create a soft & flexible cloth• Combination of cotton, copper, polyamide, and polyurethane to

create a metallic surface• Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) embedded in hand-woven linen,

programmable, and controllable through sensors. These can be used in creative arts practice, sportswear, & medical use, as well as in interactive costumes for dance, theatre, and expressive gallery textiles.

• Metals & Papers in combination with silks & polyesters• Layered weave structures made on computer-assisted looms allow

for intricate constructions and reversibles


How You Can Enter

• Knowledge about the requirements of customer and matching production facilities

• Testing facility to test the product to ensure to meet the customer expectation and specifications

• Technical textile needs state of the art knowledge for production and testing. Currently developed countries have dominance in this market.


Way to Enter in This market:• Cohesive effort by govt, academic and industry • Testing facilities common.. Should be provided by govt• Industry should have a liaison with academic and work on project to

project• Military, being the big user of technical textiles should come

forward and encourage local industry to develop technical textiles• Academia should make proposals and have a joint venture with

industry• A common degree in technical textiles should be offered by different

universities• Govt should offer special attractions for technical textiles, like China

and India
