Innovation in fabric

Also known as "smart clothing"

which is a futuristic form of clothing that functions as an active device.

Fabrics and general innovation

• Thermoregulator fabric line.

The new Klimeo process involves the application of a treatment to pure or mixed wool fabrics and is ideal for traditional woven textile markets, and is beneficial for knitwear used in active outdoor and sports markets, as well as other next-to-skin applications.

Ayurvastra

• Ayurvastra is based on the principle of touch. By coming in

contact with the cloth, the body loses toxins and the metabolism is enhanced.

• The cloth that has been permeated with special herbs

and oils is believed to help cure a wide range of

ailments.It would help restore the balance in the body and

strengthen the immune system.

• The most effective time to wear Ayurvastra is while sleeping or meditating.

Fabric and display

Fur fabric display

According to a recent patent

application, the company's so-called fabric display would make use of a series of "furs" that would effectively act as pixels, with each standing on end when given an

electrostatic charge, revealing a different

color underneath.

Thermochromic fabrics• The word "thermochromic"

looks a little intimidating at first, but the concept itself is pretty simple. 

Thermo comes from the Greek word "thermos," which means warm or hot. Chromic comes from "chroma," meaning color.

A thermochromic substance changes color as it changes temperature. In fabrics, a special dye acts as the thermochromic agent.

Fabric Displays Using LED• Several companies sell clothes that

use LEDs to create special patterns or messages.

• A company employee would cut small holes in the jacket and fit an LED into each hole.

• Once assembled, the lights spell out your message. On the inside of the jacket, each LED attaches to a circuit board.

• Most companies cover the circuitry with a thin fabric lining. The employee then attaches a power source, usually a small battery pack that can fit into a jacket, shirt or pants pocket.

Fabric and health Microencapsulated fabrics

• Microencapsulation is a simple process consisting of encapsulating liquid or solid substances in sealed micro spheres.

• These micro spheres which vary in size between 0.5 and 2000 microns, form a suspension of tiny droplets surrounded by a thin polymeric wall protecting the active agent before it is released.

• This wall or membrane is made by emulsion or dispersion of a natural or synthetic polymer in a carrier liquid.

• These microcapsules gradually release active agents by simple mechanical rubbing which ruptures the membrane.

Fart eating undiesOne man has tackled one of

the world's most embarrassing body odour issues

• These pants absorb the lot. Made from 60% sheep’s wool felt, 30% activated carbon, 8% fiber-glass wool, and 2% polypropylene non-woven fabric, they “relieve the pain without the shame”

Fabric and protection

• Odour eaters

Relegating body odour to the history books is just the tip of where fabrics are heading in the beauty stakes.

Microencapsulation technology, which allows a whole swathe of substances including aloe vera, vitamins or insect repellents to be added to the fabric, is creating endless possibilities.

UV protecting fabrics• Sun protection zone

announces Rayosan® Fabric Treatment for SunSkinzTM Apparel

• Rayosan ® is a coating that, when applied to fabric, acts as a mirror deflecting UVA and UVB rays. This deflective quality strengthens fabric’s ability to block harmful UV rays for the skin without altering the color, resilience, or lightweight breathability.

Auto snug jeans• The consumer

electronics giant has come up with a concept to change the size, shape and style of clothes by weaving “muscle wires” into the fabric. The wires are made of shape-memory alloys that change length according to the small current passed through them.

Fabric and gadgets

The levis musical jacket.

The development of digital yarn opens up the opportunity for an entire computerized

clothing industry. In the next decade, we will

likely see a wide range of digital apparel enter the consumer market.

Levi's musical jacket is made with the silk organza and is controlled with an all-fabric capacitive keyboard. This keyboard has been mass-produced using ordinary embroidery techniques and conductive thread.

Solar power neck tie

The tie features a carry pouch at the back for storing your mobile phone and the PV flexible thin film on the front of the tie converts solar energy into electrical energy to charge the phone
