StarStarStarStar

Aerogel Insulation

StarStarStarStar

Incorporating aerogel, a highly porous and low-density material, into textiles for extreme thermal insulation without adding significant bulk or weight.

StarStarStarStar

E-textiles (Electronic Textiles)

StarStarStarStar

Fabrics that enable computing, digital components, and electronics to be embedded within them, creating interactive and multifunctional materials for new applications.

StarStarStarStar

Shape Memory Alloys

StarStarStarStar

Metals that return to their original shape after deformation when heat is applied, used in textiles to create self-adjusting and smart fit garments.

StarStarStarStar

Textile Composites

StarStarStarStar

Combination of textiles with other materials to improve characteristics such as strength, durability, and resistance to environmental factors, used in various industries like automotive and aerospace.

StarStarStarStar

Ultrasonic Welding

StarStarStarStar

A technique used to join layers of fabric without stitching by using high-frequency ultrasonic acoustic vibrations, resulting in seamless and waterproof garments.

StarStarStarStar

Biometric Textiles

StarStarStarStar

Textiles with embedded sensors capable of monitoring physiological signals like heart rate and breathing patterns, impacting sports, healthcare, and workers' safety.
