Synthetic
-raw materials from polyester
-can add function being more durable
-it degrade from laundry and time
Natural
-add function in yarn stage when spinning yarn
-or in finishing, polish the final stage, print
-can be recharged and reapplied and recoated from the laundry stage
Textile function
Protective Properties
-UV protection from damage, sunburn
-SPF factor can be incorporated into fabric dyes, fibre and laundry detergent
e.g. print with UV protection, ceramic content, tight weaves, heavies weight fabric,polyester, linen, hemp
Fire and Spark resistance
-Aramid, Glass, Carbon and Wool
-> natural resistance and turn in carbon
Finishes apply natural fibres, metal coating protect
"Smart" - interactive fibre, heat set memories
-protect from heat shielding
Impact resistance
-military, active sports, upholstery textile
eg Cordura and Kevlar
-damaged fabric can be recovered (heal)
-Ballistic protective body
-light weight
Waterproof
-rubber on garment
-> too hot will become uncomfortable
eg sport and outdoor
-100% cotton and pure wool
-Use the small particle in yarn (nano-technology)
-Breathable Laminates, Gore-tex, light weight and breathable
-Ventile= 100% cotton
-from long staple, cotton fibres
->tight plain weave structure
-no coating, laminating, sheds water and stains easily
Temperature
-Keep warm and stay cool
eg Air-vantage use air chambers,
-Aerogel inspired from astronauts clothing
-Using water tube to get away the heat of body
Moisture Management
-Sportswear, Underwear, socks and shoes
-Keeping skin dry after physical activity
-Garment can be quick to dry and breathable
eg Coolmax
Phase change technology
-for aerospace
-for sports, workwear and bedding
-Micro-encapsulated elements
-absorb, store and release heat
-can be incorporated into fibres or coating in finish
Buoyancy and inflatables
-save lives and protect body against impact
-air trapping areas can be integrated into garment for sailing and riding
->activated by sudden movement
Antistatic Protection
-Static electricity
->minor discomfort or serious fires and explosions
-metal content can lower danger
Signalling Textiles
-reflective textile
-higher visibility at night
e.g. sports and accessories
-embeds or mini reflector
->reflect light to a distance of 200 meters, under water for diving
eg Nike"Reclaim the night"
Refractive Textile
-biomimetic color, shift property
->in hogberry (South America)
-layes of cells interfere with light waves and soap bubbles
-rainbow colours can be achieve -> under pressure
-for sportswear <-> muscle intension
-Morpho butterfly wings
-> color via photonics, light interference
-trap, store energy from light and emit it
-non-toxic
-can incorporated into most synthetic fibre or coat on natural fabric
-Perm-alight use zinc sulphide in pink
-Electroluminescence use phosphor powder
->excited by an electric current
-EL for display light
-Fibre optics powered by small battery
->changed text, pattern in soft woven or knitted digital
-blue light for body against yellow
Chromatic
-Dye, REsponse to an external stimuli
e.g. heat, UV light, thermochromatic ink
-> by conductive thread and power source
-create textile display the changes colour
eg signal with heat, wound dressing, fire fighter, clothing -> colour change
Well-being Factors
-Easy-care
-keep garment clean can reduce time for caring
-non-iron and easy care shirting and bed linen areas
-nano technology and teflon
-lower laundry temperature and lighter
Comfort and ease
-comfort, fit
->imparted by stretch fibres
eg lycra and dow
Aromatic agents
-smells
-> drive emotions and spur memories
-degrade by laundry and time
-scented textile release aroma when agitated
-microencapsulation
-> trap scented particles
-Aromatherapy element
-multi-sensory
Antibacterial
-protecting the health of user
-in cosmetic and washing powder, toothpaste
-in underwear, bedding, footwear, sports, medical
-can reduce laundry
-naturally antibacterial like silver, tea tree, aloe vera
Insect repellence
-reduce harmful effects
e.g. dust miles
-Use micro encapsulation and surface coating of an active insecticide similar to naturally derived permethrin
-for outdoor clothing
Health and cosmetic benefits
-textile next to skin 24/7
-moisturising skin, active health benefit
-T-shirt 200 gms, vitamin C = 2 lemons
eg future T-shirt with Medical use
-Moisturising capsules are trapped
-anti-celluite by miss sixty and victoria secret
Interactivity
-conductivity->interactive textile
-imparted by metal fibres, metal content coating or printing ink
-solution depends on products use and functionality
-Gorix->carbonised fibre with electrical conductive prop, for heated car seat, motorbike, clothing, heated diving suits,
eg embroidery, print, coated
-skin gloves for iPhone
Power Source
-removable power source
-light, washable,flexible
-Solar power can be woven into garment or add surface
-> backup power source
-flexible printed batteries and cicuit printing tech
-> solution and under investigation
Heat- thermal energy and power, kinetic energy
Soft Interfaces
Ambient technology
eg Tv remote, joy stick
Furniture can br memorise personal preference and adapt accordingly
Monitoring health
-smart garment
-> medical monitoring
-mamagoose baby pyjamas -> cot death
-detecting danger signals
Monitoring Sport
-Smart garment in sport
-Record
-Feedback with trainer
Communication and Interaction
Seamless communication
-Invisibility clothing and optical camouflage
-Divert light wavelengths
-Change light from positive to negative refraction rendering the object irritable -> for military
-Portable light Project
-> enable developing country to create and own solar textile
-Flexible PV material,LED lighting and USB Power
Fashion
-wearable electronic
-uniquely being together textile and garment
