Innovations are helping companies around the world to differentiate their products and maintain an advantage over their competitors. BASF's new superabsorbent fibre offers diaper makers opportunities for producing thinner products. Garment makers may incorporate electroconductive fibres to protect the wearer from potentially harmful radiation emitted by palmtop computers and mobile phones. A new spontaneously biodegradable polyester fibre has been developed which offers stretch, high bulk and a soft handle. UK scientists are looking at depolymerising and reconstructing polymers to aid recycling.
In fabrics, hydroentanglement is improving the appearance and handle of woven and knitted structures. Cargill's polylactide polymers could lead to cost effective biodegradable nonwovens for diapers. Nano-Tex is imparting permanent properties to fabrics by encapsulating agents such as pharmaceuticals, sun-block compounds and dyes in nanobeads. Milliken has a new fabric for controlling the airflow in automobile air conditioning. A new felt offers graduated electrical conductivity. And smart "e-type" textiles incorporate microelectronic components to detect faint sounds and pinpoint them on the battlefield.
A new netting helps to retain water and re-establish vegetation in arid areas. Huesker Synthetic has a new composite fabric web geotextile for reinforcing subsoil. A new fabric helps to reduce hazards posed by static in flexible bulk containers. And in apparel, Malden Mills has developed a conductive yarn for electrically heating clothing.
