Natural fibre composites (NFC) are emerging as eco-friendly alternatives in industries like automotive, construction, and marine. They offer benefits such as low cost, biodegradability, and weight reduction, but challenges like moisture absorption and cost variability persist. NFCs are gaining traction in non-structural and semi-structural applications.
Glass fibres stand as a remarkably versatile class of materials. Initiatives aimed at enhancing energy efficiency, minimising emissions, boosting recycling efforts, and encouraging responsible disposal practices are crucial for optimising the sustainability of glass fibre as a material choice. It is set to remain an indispensable reinforcement material.
Driven by legislation, especially in the EU, the need to establish viable recycling supply chains for all textiles will become increasingly important in the next few years. However, despite some very well established and streamlined supply chains, the recovery and recycling of technical textiles will not simply be reliant on general consumer compliance.
The applications for nonwovens continue to expand immensely due to the wide range of functional performance properties it is possible to engineer into them. From single-use, disposable products to durable and hard-wearing components for many industries, the flexibility of nonwoven fabrics ensures that they have a central role in life today.
Have you ever wondered about the story behind nonwoven materials? In many cases, finding out more about nonwoven materials and how they came into being can seem difficult. This article explores the story of nonwovens, including what they are, their history, how they are used today, and what the future of nonwoven materials could look like.
While the period since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic has not been without difficulty for any business, nonwoven manufacturers serving the markets for disposable products have generally fared better than those providing more durable products – and in some fields received a significant boost. In fact, single-use products have made all the gains.
The term automobile means all kind of textile component e.g. fibers, filament, yarn and fabric used in transportation like cars, train, buses, air planes and marine vehicles. Over 15-20 different kinds of fabric are used in automobiles. Automotive textiles are engineered fabrics to meet the challenges of an increasingly competitive automobile manufacturer requirement. Textiles provide a ...
In an automobile, seat belts and air bags are the two main items as safety device is concerned. The development of air bags began with the idea for a system that would restrain automobile drivers and passengers in an accident. Textiles are used in cars for a wide variety of purposes: to enhance comfort, thermal insulation, design, vehicle safety and more insulation, often required...
Phase Change Materials (PCMs) are receiving tremendous attention in textiles because of its thermo regulatory properties within a narrow range.
The term quality is somewhat intangible in its definition since it will mean different things to different people or even different companies involved in the manufacture or use of the textile item.
