Functional Fabrics

Plans to integrate fibres into apparel as sensor patches with flexible circuits took a step forward as researchers have come up with a single strand of fibre that has the flexibility of cotton and the electric conductivity of a polymer, called polyaniline.

The Lenzing Fiber Identification System would now be used for its FR cellulosic fibres, promising traceability, quality assurance, and trust in protective garments.

Aerogami by Nike is the all-new performance-apparel technology that increases breathability when athletes need it most.

A new research seeks to identify some key fabric properties that will bolster human comfort levels in activewear.
