Automotive – Textile Applications for a Competitive Marketplace

Supplying to the automotive market requires fully integrating design expectations with technical performance; all at very aggressive price structures. Advancements in technology, coupled with changing OEM design and styling requirements, have had a significant impact on the selection process for automotive interiors.

This session will explore key drivers for the raw material supply base for automotive textiles, emerging design trends in interiors, including sustainability initiatives, and examine key changes to technical requirements for the various automotive textile applications.

High Performance – Fibers and Fabrics for Sports and Outdoor

What ingredients are needed to develop fabrics for sports and outdoor? Learn how to create the right recipe that contains ingredients to provide better comfort, breathability, cooling, heating, absorption and monitoring to bring your product to the next level.

Intelligent Textiles

Intelligent textiles have moved into a cross section of materials and end-products. Discover innovative application bases to help you take the right path to integrate intelligent textiles into your products.

Nonwoven Advancements

The nonwovens session will focus on the latest machinery developments in the industry and will focus on all segments of the industry from web formation to bonding including needle punching, spunbonding and melt blowing to hydroentangling, and thermal bonding. New and emerging product lines will also be a focus of the session.

Nanotechnology in Technical Textiles – Real World Applications

The US National Nanotechnology Initiative has invested at least 3.7 billion dollars worth of research. And while the projects address a wide range of theoretical and practical applications, the creation of many new materials and devices with unique and valuable properties has had an immediate impact on the global textile industry.

In this session you will discover how nanotechnology is responsible for a growing range of different applications in the field of technical textiles, including textile structures used for specialized apparel, institutional, military and medical end-uses.
