British And American Textile Industry Strengthens Technology Construction To Seek New Growth In Industry

Less than p years ago, who can imagine that "a href=" http://www.91se91.com/news/index_c.asp "textile > /a" can coagulate the blood flowing out of the wound, detect heartbeat and regulate the temperature?

The global industrial analysis report shows that the global intelligent interactive textiles (SMITS) technology market is expected to reach US $1 billion 800 million in 2015.

< p > recently, the British government reported that smart fabrics, as high-tech products, will promote the development of textile < a href= "http://www.91se91.com" > clothing < /a > in the next 20 years.

The article entitled "technology and innovation in the future: UK's growth opportunities in 2020" pointed out that in the future, textile enterprises will make use of nanotechnology to create smart clothing that can monitor the blood pressure and heart rate of wearers.

In addition, intelligent interactive textiles will also have the function of self regulation according to the external cold and hot environment. This function can also be applied in the field of medical textile and clothing.

The function of clothes is not only to keep warm and decorate, but also to monitor the heartbeat of human body. People will feel the heartbeat changes caused by sudden heart problems earlier.

Research shows that smart interactive textiles will also shine brilliantly in the fashion industry through the incorporation of diode technology in fabrics.

< p > the same direction as British research, the US Physical Optics Corporation regards health monitoring as an evolving field.

Dr Gans, director of systems engineering at the company, said: "some customers are looking for a technology that can directly integrate monitoring functions into clothing itself.

The company is developing fabrics with special coatings, which can seal gunshot wounds and prevent injured people from death due to excessive blood loss, so as to achieve the purpose of medical monitoring.

Health monitoring is not only confined to hospitals, but also in sports venues.

For example, many football players and coaches want to be able to easily detect the speed of players' heart rate on the court.

David Okeeffe, head of AFT, Texas, USA, P is extremely optimistic about the development of smart textiles.

He said: "this technology can do many things, but it needs to find the right company to produce products and bring them to the market.

Adding sensors or nanotubes to textiles can make them intelligent and provide feedback for medical or industrial applications.

The company calls the HAY, the spiral auxetic yarn, a patented textile that can reduce explosive impact and anti missile.

This technology allows auxetic material yarns to stretch at low strain rates, absorbing more energy than similar textiles, such as aramid fibers that cannot be moved and stretched.

< p > in addition, advanced textile technology company is developing a fluid release system that can release drugs, such as coagulants that can stop bleeding.

"The fluid release system is added to the bandage to enable the smart bandage to determine the amount of bacteria and self-administered drugs for the patient through the sensor.

The device can be implanted into many textiles, such as < a href= "http://www.91se91.com/news/index_f.asp" > Suit > /a >.

Okeefe said.

< p > researchers at North Carolina State University have been studying the formation of functional inorganic coatings on textiles by means of a process called atomic layer deposition to protect textiles against ultraviolet radiation and chemical erosion.

Because of the accelerated degradation of materials such as cotton and recycled polyester under UV irradiation, this study helps to block the ultraviolet light absorbed on the surface of textiles to extend their service life. This technology can be applied to protective clothing or other textile and garment products.

< p > expanding the new application of textiles, prolonging the service life of textiles and making full use of textiles are the purpose of vigorously developing and promoting intelligent interactive textiles in the field of global science and technology. Therefore, researchers are stepping up their research.
