According to Martin Möller, director of the DWI at RWTH Aachen University and organizer of this year's Aachen-Dresden Conference, the potential of nanotechnology is not yet really exploited: “Nano is a mega-topic and I am sure that by intelligent use of nanoparticles on textiles a broad range of new properties can be generated on technical textiles as well as apparels.”
Membranes and Filters are a growing segment in the area of technical textiles. The contributions to this symposium covered the entire chain, from the special design of fibres to be used for filtration to the construction and production of filter and membrane systems, their functionalization and coating, up to various applications. Here the particular challenges for the cleaning of exhaust gas, protective textiles, air-conditioning technology, and water treatment were discussed.
Traditionally textile machinery is a main topic of the Aachen-Dresden Conference, organized especially by the Institut für Textiltechnik (ITA) of RWTH Aachen University, and the Institute of Textile Machinery and High Performance Material Technology (ITM) of TU Dresden. The symposium Efficiency in Textile Production Technology demonstrated that textile machinery and textile manufacturing are a key branch and strong impulse generator for innovations in the textile and apparel industry. Well-known textile machinery companies presented examples ranging from spinning, to weaving, warp knitting, nonwovens, coating, finishing, and dyeing.
For the first time, the programme of the Aachen-Dresden Conference comprised also excursions. On Wednesday afternoon, many participants took the opportunity to visit four companies in the Aachen area. Becker Textil GmbH in Aachen is a weaver and finisher of wool and denim goods. Heimbach GmbH & Co. KG in Düren produces technical textiles, i.e., for filtration and paper machine clothings.
Oerlikon Schlafhorst in Übach-Palenberg is the world market leader for ring spinning, winding, and rotor spinning machines. DSM Dyneema in the nearby Netherlands informed the visitors on the numerous applications and processing possibilities of ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene fibres.
The Aachen-Dresden Conference was rounded up by more than 80 poster contributions coming from both the students of the organizing institutes, as well as other research units, and from foreign universities and research institutes. The poster session, an integral part of the conference, became in the meantime a forum where participants from industry are looking for new co-workers.
With such a broad offer of information, stimulation, and possibilities to make new contacts, one should look forward to the 6th Aachen-Dresden Conference already by now: in Dresden, on November 29-30, 2012, the main focus will be on composites.
