Technical Textile: A promising Future
Technical Textiles: A Promising
Future
Broad Division of Textile
• Traditional textile, general textile
– General use, to improve aesthetic sense, for
communication etc
• Technical textile, industrial textile, and
functional textile
– to serve a particular and technical requirement

Historic Perspective of Technical
Textile
• Before invention of synthetic fibres:
– Natural fibres were treated with chemicals to make
it useful in some specific situations
– Nonwoven techniques were used to manufacture
technical textile

Technical Textile by Definition
• Materials and products intended for end-uses
other than non-protective clothing, household
furnishing, and floor covering, where the
fabric or fibrous component is selected
principally but not exclusively for its
performance and properties as opposed to its
aesthetic or decorative characteristics“
•
(Textile Terms and Definitions, TI, Manchester, 10the Ed.).

• Technical textiles are materials meeting high
technical and quality requirements
(mechanical, thermal, electrical, durability...)
giving them the ability to offer technical
functions.
• Encyclopedia Universalis

Production of Technical Textiles
• Application of certain chemicals ( water and
fire proofing etc)
• Use of intelligent fibers (glass fiber, carbon
fibers)
• Special technical in fabric formation (3 D
weaving, Double layer knitting etc)

Types of Technical Textiles
1.
Mechanical functions (Mechanical resistance, Reinforcement of
materials, Elasticity)
2.
Exchange functions (Filtration, Insulation and conductivity,
Drainage Impermeability, Absorption)
3.
Functionalities for living beings (Antibacterial, Antirust, mites,
Biocompatibility, Biodegradability/bioresorption)
4.
Protective functions (Thermal, Fire, Mechanical, Chemicals,
Impermeable, - Breathable, Antistatic Particles, antireleaseVicenza,
Electrical insulation, IR and UV rays, NBC High visibility
Electromagnetic fields .....) Nomez divides Technical textiles into
main four classes based on their functions (Nomez)

• Consumption of Technical Textiles
Techinal Textile: A Promising Future ICTC

A Few Modern Examples
• Breathable Synthetic Fabrics
• Some Synthetic Fibers are Ultra-lightweight & High-stretch, some
are thin & light-reflective, Some Hollow Fibers Trap Air to Retain
Heat
• Natural Fibers Blended with Synthetics to Improve Strength, Crease
Resistance & Easy Care
• Ultra Microfibers – Using the latest in micro technology, scientists
are building fabrics where the fiber itself is scrutinized and
manipulated in minute detail. A microfiber is by definition a
material in which the yarn’s thickness is equal to or less than 1/60th
the thickness of an average human hair. Ultra-microfibers on the
market are even finer – some having thickness of just 1/200th the
thickness of human hair.

• Fabrics that have relief surfaces and even threedimensional (3-D) structure
• Metallic textiles – fluid & shimmering materials
• Extreme Sportswear
• Polyamide (warp) and paper (weft) woven together and
then hand silkscreen printed. This exquisite fabric,
designed in a customized manner in Japan, is used for
high-end interiors.
• Microfiber with metal foil spots combine to give a
consistent metallic finish. This blend can be used for
high-end fashion garments (especially outerwear)

• Phase change materials incorporated in fabrics can
absorb excess heat, store it, and gradually release it
later. These are ideal for body temperature control.
• Fabrics with charcoal as a component can filter odour
and pollution. Charcoal was used for its health-giving
properties as it has the ability to absorb chemical
impurities in the air.
• Microfibers engineered with substances suspended in
minute bubbles that can be gradually released. These
microcapsules can contain medication, vitamins, insect
repellants, moisturizers, essential oils or perfumes...

Synergy Affect
• Combination of Stainless Steel Fiber with Cotton &
Polyamide to create a soft & flexible cloth
• Combination of cotton, copper, polyamide, and
polyurethane to create a metallic surface
• Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) embedded in hand-woven
linen, programmable, and controllable through sensors.
These can be used in creative arts practice, sportswear, &
medical use, as well as in interactive costumes for dance,
theatre, and expressive gallery textiles.
• Metals & Papers in combination with silks & polyesters
• Layered weave structures made on computer-assisted looms
allow for intricate constructions and reversibles

How You Can Enter
• Knowledge about the requirements of
customer and matching production facilities
• Testing facility to test the product to ensure to
meet the customer expectation and
specifications
• Technical textile needs state of the art
knowledge for production and testing.
Currently developed countries have dominance
in this market.
Techinal Textile: A Promising Future ICTC
2009
Way to Enter in This market:
• Cohesive effort by govt, academic and industry
• Testing facilities common.. Should be provided by govt
• Industry should have a liaison with academic and work on
project to project
• Military, being the big user of technical textiles should
come forward and encourage local industry to develop
technical textiles
• Academia should make proposals and have a joint venture
with industry
• A common degree in technical textiles should be offered by
different universities
• Govt should offer special attractions for technical textiles,
like China and India
