Nonwovens There will be two sessions specifically dedicated to the nonwovens field. The first will focus on new technical techniques for improved performance. The second will explore the increase of the use of nonwoven fabrics in a broad range of technical textile areas.
Technical Textiles Research A special program of the symposium which involves a fresh look at some of the research being conducted by various universities, institutions and laboratories. Dr. Seshardri S. Ramkumar from Texas Tech University will lead this session that he will help finalize in early 2009 so as to ensure that the most relevant research is presented.
Performance / Protection Textiles The performance and protection areas are typical of fields where new and improved features of materials make for more effective end uses. Often, this results in the creation of new markets. These application areas benefit from many of the developments and new technologies in other fields. Consequently, better leisure and performance products, as well as superior protection from the elements and life threatening hazards can be achieved.
Other sessions include: Materials Technology; Nanotechnolgy in Textiles; Automotive / Mobiletech; and Medical Textiles.
