With the rapid development of science and technology, textile fabrics are no longer the low-end industry as imagined, but have gradually transformed into a high-end industry that requires talents. Today, let’s talk about the “black technology” of fabrics~
1 Intelligent temperature-regulating fiber
To put it simply, there is a fabric that keeps you warm when you are cold and cools you when you are hot.
Intelligent temperature-regulating fiber is a functional natural regenerated fiber coated with phase-change temperature-regulating materials through microcapsule technology. It is different from inorganic life and has the ability to “perceive” and ” “Perception” can absorb or release heat through latent heat exchange, keeping textiles in the most comfortable temperature range for the human body.
At the same time, it has excellent humidity control function, is dry and breathable, and the PCM microcapsules in the fiber will not be worn or washed off, and the physical effect is long-lasting.
It was originally a concept designed and developed by NASA for the moon landing. When astronauts walk out of the spacecraft to work, the external environment temperature changes drastically. They need a kind of protective clothing to resist the discomfort and danger caused by this temperature difference. Intelligent temperature-regulating fiber emerged as the times require. Now this technology has been widely used Applications in underwear, home textiles, socks, outdoor, infant and children’s clothing and other fields.
2 Waterproof and oil-proof fabrics
Every time you wash clothes Just wish it would be nice to have clothes that never get dirty! In fact, there are really high-tech fabrics that are both waterproof and oil-proof!
This is mainly attributed to fluoroalkane organic compounds.
This is mainly because the water- and oil-repellent ability of fluorocarbon polymer is related to its lower surface energy. The lower surface energy given to the fabric fiber makes it less likely to react with water. Oils are compatible with each other. Fluorine is the most electronegative element among all elements, so molecules containing a large number of fluorine-carbon bonds have small cohesion and are difficult to be wetted by other solvents. It will only form small water droplets on the surface of the fabric, which will be wiped off with paper.
3 Self-healing fabrics
Human beings have really been working hard! ! ! This kind of fabric is a new type of high-tech nano repair material. The surface of the fabric is covered with a special PET coating (polyethylene terephthalate), which has high viscosity, high elasticity and cushioning properties. After being punctured by a needle, it can be restored to its original shape with a few gentle rubs.
This is because the heat generated by rubbing your fingers causes the damaged structure of the fabric molecules to be reconstructed, and the broken parts of the fibers are automatically connected. Well, it’s a bit awesome!
Poke a hole is not enough? It was poked wildly by countless thick nails, but it was still intact after being rubbed!
In addition to being used in clothes and bags, it is also widely used in tents and hammocks. It is very good and powerful. A piece of clothing requires no sewing or mending, and can last a lifetime with just a few rubs. Having been poor all my life, I seem to have seen a well-off life in the future.
When talking about textiles from now on, let’s not say it is a traditional labor-intensive industry. It is full of black technology!
