New Technologies and Manufacturing Processes - 27 September 2011 {1000 - 1300} Tuesday Many emerging technologies such as nanotechnology are already in the industrial pipeline aiming at becoming an integral part of various manufacturing processes for the production of advanced and highly functional textiles. Many important technological advances have been made in fabric manufacturing processes such as weaving, braiding, and nonwovens technology. This session will provide presentations on these developments as well as on the topic of performance chemicals and smart coating technology for producing advanced fabrics.
- Dr. Jan Laperre, Centexbel, "State of the Art on Industrialization of Emerging Technologies"
- Kevin Myers, Huntsman Digital Printing, "Advances in Digital Printing Inks and Technology"
- Prof. Thomas Gries, ITA-RWTH, "Latest Developments in Fabric Production"
- Coffee Break
- M. Wolfgang Schlide, Manager Competence Center Nonwovens, STFI Research Institute, "Latest Developments in Nonwovens Technology"
- Dr. Walter Nassl, Director Technology and Project Management Chemicals, Huntsman, "Performance Chemicals for Advanced Textiles"
New Materials and Products - 27 September 2011 {1400-1730} Tuesday This session is divided into two sub-sessions with a special focus on the latest information about protective textiles and smart textiles. There will be a Q&A period at the end of each sub-session. Part one will focus on new developments in protective textiles including Natick's Future Soldier Systems, Protective textiles in the Security industry and nonwovens based heat and flame protection materials.
Part two will focus on smart and interactive textiles. The presentations will analyze some success stories & bottlenecks in this field and discuss pitfalls in e-textiles area as well as describe the development of a commercial smart textiles product.
