Automotive – Opportunities for Technical Textiles
The automotive interiors marketplace is highly competitive. Being successful in this market requires fully integrating design expectations with technical performance, all at very aggressive price structures. Advances in technology, coupled with changing OEM design and styling requirements, are having a significant impact on the selection process for automotive interiors. This session will begin by reviewing key drivers for the raw material supply base for automotive textiles. Other presentations will explore emerging design trends in automotive interiors, including sustainability initiatives, and examine key changes to technical requirements for the various automotive textile applications.
Protective Textiles
The Protective Textiles Session is a forward-looking program prepared for those engaged in the Personal Protective Equipment supply chain for public safety, military, industrial safety and other markets. This year's expert speakers will discuss emerging federal standards, on-going research, and emerging technologies.
Medical
While most healthcare professionals focus on reducing costs and improving patient outcomes what sometimes gets lost is the fact that no other single item is in more direct contact with the patient then the medical textile. In this session we will focus on how advancements in areas such as Anti-microbials, Derma Care, DVT Prevention, and patient and surgical staff safety are improving patient outcomes and reducing costs by applying innovative strategies to enhance comfort and safety for the human element on both sides of the hospital bed.
Fibers
The important performance properties of a technical textile are often delivered primarily by the properties of the fibers used in the fabric. New technologies are being developed to produce new performance properties in staple fibers, filament yarns, and fibers made directly into nonwovens such as spunbond and meltblown fabrics. This session will examine some of the most intriguing new fiber technologies.
