Researchers create new textiles that don’t easily wrinkle

Even in engineering, a wrinkle-free textile is ideal. Researchers from the University of British Columbia (UBC) Okanagan campus are looking for ways to reduce wrinkling in producing textile composites. Like all composite materials, textile composites consist of a component material (often thermoplastic) or a combination of two materials reinforced with woven, knitted, or braided fabric. They […]

“Air-con” clothes? Scientists develop cooling fabric inspired by the comet moth

Silkworms may have a new competitor when it comes to producing refreshingly cool and bright-looking silk fabrics. The fibers spun by wild Madagascar comet moths look much more vivid and feel much cooler on the skin. An article in Newswise reports that research engineers have created artificial materials based on these fibers to replicate their cooling […]

Researchers develop a fabric that converts kinetic energy into electric power

Imagine working out in a specialized suit that converts all your sweat and kinetic energy into electricity. That is exactly what the research team at Chalmers University of Technology have developed, as reported in an article from Science Daily. The researchers, in cooperation with The Swedish School of Textiles in Borås and the research institute Swerea IVF, […]
