Carbon nanotubes can be embedded in antistatic clothing and packaging fabrics, as in protective suits for cleanrooms or for blast protection, for example. They are already playing an important role in multifunctional technical textiles with improved mechanical, electrical and shielding properties.

The stability of textile reinforcements in constructional engineering can be improved using nano coatings as can the flame resistance and dye ability of technical textiles and clothing fabrics. And there are many other examples that could be included here.

The multitude of possible applications and on-going development projects lead us to expect that nanotechnology will soon be a central feature of the textile industry. In this respect, Techtextil 2013 offers a glimpse into the future.

Techtextil, international trade fair for technical textiles and nonwovens As the leading international fair in its field, Techtextil 2013 (11 to 13 June 2013) brings together all the product groups and areas of application for technical textiles in a central venue and has thus assumed a role as sector highlight.

Here, the worlds of industry, research, development and sales will find the entire range of technical textiles and nonwovens in all relevant disciplines at an innovations platform that is unique in the world. It takes place once every two years in Frankfurt. This year, particular attention will be paid to the potential of nanofibres.
