The materialmaterial textile is experiencing an extremely rapid revolution which is reminiscent of the tremendous explosion of ICT (Information and Communication Technologies). So, what are the challenges of the textiles of the future?
Today the textile concerns all industrial sectors, because it is used for its technical performance and functional properties with the help of several disciplines, such as:
- the chemistrychemistry to design new fibers or graft all kinds of moleculesmolecules on the surface of a fabric;
- the physiquephysique and mechanics to study the properties of fibres;
- mathematics and computer science to imagine and simulate new interweavings;
- biology in order to genetically optimize natural fibres, or even to imitate them.
Applications of the “textile” material
Technical textiles are the result of industry’s ability to combine textile fibers indefinitely, possibly with other fibersas the ceramicceramic where the quartzquartzor even other organic or mineral components, in order to produce threads, surfaces, volumesvolumesaccording to structures that allow applicationsapplications the most varied. Thus, in this file, we will see the evolution of the textile material.
