Established only 20 years ago, Öztek Tekstil Printing and Dyeing Industries (Hall 1, Stand A112) has grown into a formidable enterprise offering the latest in protective and technical fabrics for a wide range of applications. The company is exhibiting here at SOFEX as part of Turkey’s Undersecretariat for Defence Industries.

Öztek Tekstil now processes five million metres of fabric every month, which variously involves weaving, knitting, dyeing, printing, finishing, coating and laminating. Recognising the importance of technical textiles, Öztek Tekstil established a full R&D capability and production facility in 2001. Technical textiles refer to fabrics that are coated, dyed or specially manufactured for the protection and well-being of military and civil users.

Its military textile range includes multispectral camouflage nets; suits and protective systems against chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear threats; corrosion protection fabrics, ballistic protection; and extreme cold-weather fabrics. It also manufactures anti-bacterial, mosquito-proof and parachute fabrics.

Öztek Tekstil was the first Turkish company to print infrared-free fabrics, of which a million metres have been exported to Germany.

Smart Fabrics - Global Strategic Business Report 2017
The global market for Smart Fabrics is projected

to reach US$3.8 billion by 2022, driven by

breakthrough advancements in the field

of flexible, printed and stretchable electronics,

development of electronic fibers, yarns and

conductive inks for textile printing

and growing consumer demand for smart

performance apparel for sports and fitness.

The integration of science and advanced

technology into fabrics has led to the emergence

of a new range of clothing

and textiles, termed smart fabrics. Also referred

to as smart clothing, intelligent clothing smart

textiles and e-textiles, smart fabrics are embedded

with digital and electronic components such as

actuators, sensors, microcontrollers, and data

processes that can read and respond, thus

allowing the fabric to sense and react to

environmental conditions and external stimuli

coming from thermal, mechanical, chemical,

magnetic or electrical sources. Unlike traditional

fabrics,smart fabrics impart added functional

value, such as the ability to communicate,

transform, conduct energy, emit light, cool,

heat, and change shape.

Though a fairly new concept, smart textiles is

nevertheless garnering increased interest given

the technology's role in enhancing

wearer's experience by providing innovative

features and functions that can boost the

garment's overall performance.

The recent years have witnessed strong

growth in the market coming from the successful

development and commercialization of

interactive apparel features and properties

such as ballistic resistance, electrical conductivity

and climate control. All of these

properties are encouraging the use of smart textiles

in end-use markets such as military, consumer,

industrial, electronics, home health monitoring,

entertainment and fashion. Focus on smart fabrics

also mirrors the textile industry's move towards

offering exclusive products targeting dedicated

activities such as running, skiing, extreme sports

and golf.The market will be driven by the

trend towards miniaturization of electronics and

the rapidly evolvingwearable electronics industry,

escalating demand for smart gadgets like wristbands

and smartwatches, and growth of low-cost smart

wireless sensor networks.The increasing ease

by which electronic components can be integrated

into fabrics and growing awareness about the

utility of these fabrics and their expanding applications

 especially in areas such as thermos-electricity, energy

harvesting, and sensing will also foster growth in the

market. Radical developments in material science

and fiber technologies including nanofibers, conductive

pressure-sensing fabrics and other hybrid fabrics are

expected to spur the market's growth in the coming

years. Sustained investments in R&D to develop

novel smart fabrics will provide new directions for future

growth.As stated by the new market research report on

Smart Fabrics, the United States represents the largest

market worldwide.Asia-Pacific ranks as the fastest growing

market with a CAGR of 15.2% over the analysis period, led

by factors such as growingbase of affluent middle class

population, digitalizing lifestyles and consumer

affinity towards innovative electronic technologies,

increasing levels of per capita spending on innovative

and disruptive technologies by businesses, industries

and consumers, and

growing R&D spending as a percentage of GDP

and the ensuing availability of funds for researching

advanced materials, and functional fibers and fabrics.

[ Turning old cotton into new textiles.]

Source:
AILA IKUSE | Evergreen reporter
In a few years, an old cotton T-shirt from high school can be recycled into a new skirt.

WSU recently won a grant from the Wal-Mart U.S. Manufacturing Innovation Fund for $365,000 to research turning cotton waste into recycled textile goods. Hang Liu and Ting Chi from the Apparel, Merchandising, Design, Textiles (AMDT) department, and Jinwen Zhang from the School of Mechanical and Materials Engineering are working on the project.

The project at WSU focuses on recycling cotton waste using a wet spinning technique. Wet spinning is one of three commonly used fiber-spinning techniques for manmade fibers like polyester or nylon. The process involves dissolving cotton waste into a solvent, and then spinning it into fabric.

“We chose wet spinning because the technique is already well-established, so we only need to solve the initial part,” Liu said. “We can use already established equipment with maybe some modifications but not a whole lot. The commercialization process should be pretty quick. I think that is part of what the Wal-Mart Foundation was looking for.”

The grant application process was broken into two phases. First, applicants had to submit a letter of intent or mini proposal. Then, if they made it past the first round, they were invited to send the review committee the full proposal, Liu said.

“Only those (the Wal-Mart U.S. Manufacturing Innovation Fund) found promising were invited to send in their full proposals,” Liu said. “We got into the second phase and submitted the proposal in early November. Luckily, we were funded.”

The project, which will take place over the next three years, is 100 percent funded by the earnings from this grant. The recycled cotton fibers will mainly be used in consumer goods at first, Liu said.

“We want to make fibers that have a good feel, elasticity and are strong enough to make into clothes or bedding, towels, these kind of products,” Liu said. “In the future, we are looking at technical textiles, such as fabrics … used in industry. There is big potential there.”

Liu wants to involve undergraduates in this project, too. As the AMDT 210 professor, several of her students are already interested in getting involved in undergraduate research.

“A portion of the fund is for undergraduate research assistants,” Liu said. “We want to involve undergraduate students. They want to learn about the research process, and they are curious about what we do every day in the lab.”

Liu and Zhang will work on the research project itself while Chi will work on the environmental side of things. Chi will conduct the Environmental Impact Summary (EIS) and work to make the process of recycling cotton more environmentally-friendly.

“In 2012, the fiber recovery rate, including reusing and recycling, for all cotton waste was five percent only,” Chi said. “Nowadays, most of the cotton waste ends up in landfills or incinerators, which not only is in contradiction with the efficient use of natural cellulose resource, but also severely harms the environment and human health.”

Rising world populations and living standards have caused a continuously upward trend of cotton demand. Supply is limited due to the decline of available land, so recycling cotton waste is a prominent challenge facing the textile industry, Chi said.

The Wal-Mart U.S. Manufacturing Innovation Fund is a collaboration between Wal-Mart and the U.S. Conference of Mayors to fund projects that show potential to create domestic jobs in manufacturing, lower the cost of consumer goods, and invigorate local economies.

In 2014, the Wal-Mart Foundation pledged $10 million to this fund, and this year is the last

awarding cycle. Over 30 projects applied for the grant, and six were funded. Other universities that received funding include North Carolina State University, Clemson University, Oregon State University, Texas Tech University and the University of Massachusetts-Lowell.
