In the Editor’s opinionWe can no longer afford to hide behindpolitical indecisionThe Industrial Revolution began in the 18th Century with the mechanisationof the textiles industry and was the origin of the modern manufacturingworld, which today provides us all with many benefits, albeit some far morethan others. However, its dark legacy is the impact of manufacturing on theenvironment and, perhaps prompted by the pandemic, decades of warn-ings from experts in many scientific disciplines and the accumulation of avast body of research finally seem to have convinced all but the most rigidideologists that the evolution of industrial manufacturing has been contin-uously damaging the Earth, slowly at first, but ever faster, and now to apoint that could soon leave us facing inevitable catastrophe.

Consequently, global demonstrations and intense media scrutiny formedthe backdrop to the 26th Conference of the Parties to the United NationsFramework Convention on Climate Change, commonly known as COP26,which was held in Glasgow, UK, from 31 October to 13 November 2021. Themeeting was widely billed as a last chance for the leaders of the world tocommit to curtailing or ending industrial activities known to be damaging,as well as reversing at least some of the harm done. At this point, shortlyafter the meeting’s conclusion, the consensus among observers is that,despite several positive outcomes, the actions agreed are insufficient.Politicians have a great deal more to do if our planet is to avoid the fate ofthe direst predictions.

We must not wait, however, for politicians. We must act now, and as a sub-stantial contributor to the problem there is a great deal that the textileindustry in particular can contribute. Global brands will argue they arealready committed to change, but they need to ask themselves constantlywhat more they can do to effect rapid transformation of the whole supplychain. Cleaner technologies exist (see, for instance, the Conference onSustainable Finishing of Textiles; https://www.technical-textiles.net/shop/nt/conference-sustainable-finishing-textiles-demand) but suppliers needto be supported in adopting them.

All need to be open about their environmental policies, and acknowledgeand address their shortfalls, and the industry needs to rid itself of baselessor weak claims about the environmental credentials of its processes orproducts, so-called “greenwashing”. Consumers who purchase productsbased on their reduced impact on the environment must not be misled.The environment’s needs must come first when designing any new prod-ucts, including their production, marketing, sale, transportation and end-of-life.

Governments will need to act, but for now we should lead the way and, as30 years of observing the industry has taught me, textiles manufacturershave the skills (the flexibility, innovation and imagination) required. Whenhistorians 250 years from now consider this period, as hopefully they willbe able to do from a clean and friendly environment, let them be able tosay that once again textiles were the vanguard for change.

Researchers in Singapore create smart fabric that stiffens on demand

Methods for producing a flexible, chain-mail-like fabric that could stiffen ondemand are being developed byresearchers from Nanyang TechnologicalUniversity, Singapore (NTU Singapore)and the California Institute of Technology(Caltech) in Pasadena, USA.

The fabric could be used in theproduction of such as soft, comfortablebody armour and exoskeletons that canbe converted into strong, rigid structuresas and when such properties are required.It could even be used in the repair ofbridges and other large structures.

The researchers liken the fabric toBatman's cape in the 2005 film BatmanBegins. The cape is generally flexible, butcan be made rigid when the superheroneeds to use it as a glider.

To demonstrate the concept, theresearchers have created a fabric madefrom interlocked, hollow polyamide (PA)octahedrons (a shape with eight equaltriangular faces). These octahedrons areproduced using an additive manu -facturing process.

When the soft fabric is wrapped within aflexible plastic envelope and vacuum-packed, it becomes 25 times stiffer thanwhen it is relaxed.

In the case ofbody armour, theoctahedrons couldbe made frommetal and theencapsulation orenvelope materialcould be madefrom aramid fabrics.Further, theresearchers areplanning to exploreother methodsfor stiffening thefabric, such asthrough magnetism,electricity ortemperature.

The mechanism underlying the increasingstiffness of the fabric is called jammingtransition, where aggregates of solidparticles switch from a fluid-like soft stateto a solid-like rigid state under a slightincrease in packing density.

However, typical solid particles are usuallytoo heavy and do not provide enoughtensile resistance for the productionof fabrics.

The researchers designed their inter -locking octahedrons to overcomethis issue, creating a fabric that has alow density and yet high tensile stiffness.They modelled the number of averagecontact points per octahedron andhow much each structure will bendin response to the amount ofstress applied.

The team discovered that by customisingthe particle shape, there was a trade-offbetween how much weight the particleswill have and how much the fabric canbend, and worked-out how to balance thetwo factors.

Vacuum pressure increases the packingdensity of the fabric, bringing eachoctahedron into closer contact with itsneighbours, resulting in increased rigidity.

When formed into a flat, table-shapedstructure and vacuum-locked in place,the fabric held a load of 1.5 kg, morethan 50 times its own weight. Inanother experiment, the team dropped

a small steel ball (30 g and 1.27 cm indiameter) onto the fabric at a velocityof 3 m.s–1. The impact deformed thefabric by up to 26 mm when it wasrelaxed, but by only 3 mm when itwas stiffened.

To show the possibilities of their conceptusing different source materials, theteam made the fabric from aluminiumand demonstrated that it has the sameflexibility and soft performance as PAwhen relaxed, yet it could also bepacked into structures that aremuch stiffer.

One of the authors of a paper(1) des -cribing the work, NTU SingaporeAssistant Professor Wang Yifan, says:“With an engineered fabric that islightweight and tuneable – easilychangeable from soft to rigid – we canuse it to address the needs of patientsand the ageing population, for instance,to create exoskeletons that can helpthem stand, carry loads and assist themwith their daily tasks.”

When vacuum-packed, the chain-mail-like polyamide fabric

developed by researchers from Nanyang Technological University,

Singapore, can withstand up to 50 times its own weight.

The researchers also made the fabric from

aluminium and found that it demonstrates

higher tensile strength than the

polyamide version.

Nonwovens update

DiloUnique spunbond technology showcasedat INDEX 2020A laboratory-scale spunbond system was unveiled at the INDEX2020 nonwovens exhibition by Fibre Extrusion Technology (FET)of Leeds, UK.

The company says that the system creates significant opportunitiesfor the development of nonwovens based on a wide range of fibresand polymers, including bicomponent fibres. It has alreadysupplied one of these spunbond lines to the University of Leeds(1),and a second, in combination with one of its metlblown lines, tothe University of Erlangen-Nuremberg in Germany.

FET's Managing Director, Richard Slack, says: “Our new spunbondtechnology is unique in providing the ability to process a widerange of polymers, including those normally not consideredappropriate for the spunbond process, at the scale required to fullyexplore material combinations and bring new products to market.”

INDEX 2020 took place in Geneva, Switzerland, on 19–22 October 2021.

Safety and protection update

Non-toxic flame-retardantis based on seaweedA non-toxic flame-retardant based on ananoparticle-enhanced polymer derivedfrom seaweed is being developed byAlgoBio, a start-up established by formerstudents of the University of Waterloo inOntario, Canada.

AlgoBio's Chief Executive Officer (CEO),Anneke van Heuven, and Chief TechnologyOfficer (CTO), Elias Trouyet, say that thetwo coatings they have formulated fromthe polymer easily exceed industryrequirements for flame-retardancy.

They are now consulting potentialcustomers and considering modificationsto make an additive, in addition toa coating, for the plastic andrubber industries.

Producing Dyneema from recycled feedstock

Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene(UHMWPE) fibres have been producedusing ethylene derived from mixed plasticwaste by Royal DSM of Heerlen, TheNetherlands, and SABIC of Riyadh,Saudi Arabia.

Through a pilot project, the fibres(Dyneema) have been used by MarlowRopes of Hailsham, UK, to produce sailingropes and by Gleistein of Bremen,Germany, to manufacture pelagictrawl nets.

SABIC says that the resulting ropesdemonstrate properties comparable withthose produced using fibres derived fromconventional feedstocks.

SABIC has developed a number oftechnologies (Trucircle) for the pro -duction of resins and chemicals fromrecycled and bio-based feedstocks, the

latter of which DSM is already using inthe production of Dyneema(1).

Using a mass-balancing approach, whichallows for the volume of a feedstock to betracked through a production system sothat the amounts used in the final productcan be accounted for accurately, DSM isnow able to create Dyneema usingethylene derived from difficult-to-recycle plastics.

The recent staging of several events (see Post-pan-demic issues, page 12) has served to highlight a num-

ber of key problems facing the nonwovens industry:

the need to re-align the global supply chain, in•particular to reduce reliance on suppliers in China andlow-wage economies by boosting local production(also known as “re-shoring”);what to do in the longer term with the increased capacity•for meltblown fabrics brought about by a surge indemand for personal protective equipment (PPE) in2020?;disruptions to delivery of new machinery as a result of•the global shortage of microprocessors, which arerequired by processing lines increasingly reliant onautomation and data exchange;

One topic dominates discussions as industry finally convenes againThe staging of virtual conferences and the first in-person exhibitions in recent months has providedthe industry with much-needed opportunities to talk about the way forward as it looks to recoverfrom the pandemic. In debates, several key topics have emerged, but the need to make substantiveprogress towards sustainable manufacturing clearly overshadows them all, writes Adrian Wilson.

Searching for sustainable materials Converting plastic waste for effective re-useSpeaking at RISE on 28 September 2021, EastmanChemical’s General Manager Fibers (Textiles andNonwovens) Jon Woods, described his company’sambitious plans to build one of the world’s largestfacilities for plastic-to-plastic recycling based onprocessing at the molecular scale. At the site inKingsport, Tennessee, USA, Eastman Chemical willconvert more than 100 kt a year of plastic waste thatcannot be recycled using existing mechanicalmethods, producing new speciality plastics, notablypolyethylene terephthalate (PET).

The company is investing approximately US$250 millionin the Kingsport facility, where its methanolysis processwill take plastic waste as the primary feedstock. As wellas reducing the company’s use of feedstocks derivedfrom fossil fuels, the facility will reduce Eastman

Chemical’s emissions of greenhouse gases by 20–30%relative to producing equivalent amounts of plasticusing traditional methods.

The Kingsport plant will be complete by the end of2022 and is a major part of a comprehensive plan bythe company to recycle more than 250 kt a year ofplastic waste by 2030 using molecular-scale recyclingtechnologies. The company has committed torecycling more than 125 kt by 2025 and now hasan agreement with Procter & Gamble of Cincinnati,Ohio, USA, one of the world’s largest consumers ofnonwovens. The partners will collaborate on circularrecycling projects and accelerate Procter &Gamble’s transformation of plastic packaging forits AHP products.

Eastman Chemical has pioneered methanolysistechnology at commercial scale and has more thanthree decades of experience of this recycling process.Its use with polyester (PES) waste is especiallysignificant because low-quality PES waste cannot be

nonwovens manufacturers, by Vice-President ofResearch for Fiber Innovation Technology (FIT), JeffDugan. Based in Johnson City, Tennessee, USA, FIT hasbeen involved in the development of biopolymerssince it first worked on processing polylactic acid (PLA)more than 20 years ago, witnessing interest rise sinceto today’s unprecedented levels.

Dugan began by splitting the fibres available formaking nonwovens into four basic categories:

legacy polymers derived from fossil fuel-based•feedstocks that are not biodegradable;biodegradable polymers derived from fossil fuel-•based feedstocks;bio-based biodegradable biopolymers;•bio-based, but not biodegradable polymers.•

Specific polymers include PLA and PHA, said Dugan, aswell as polybutylene succinate (PBS), PBS-adipate(PBSA), polyglycolic acid (PGA) and polytrimethyleneterephthalate (PTT).

Bio-based PET, such as Coca-Cola’s PlantBottle, isbeing produced in greater volumes for drinksbottles and has been developed to be fully bio-based,from an initial approximately 20% bio-based. It has amelting temperature of 255°C, but is expensive andavailable in only limited quantities. Moreover, withcompetition from manufacturers of drinks bottles, thematerial is unlikely to become more readily available.Coca Cola intends to produce 100% of its bottles fromthe bio-PET.

Dugan added that in the longer term, bio-based PETcould in any case be displaced by polyethylenefuranoate (PEF), which is 100% bio-based and has amelt temperature of 230°C. For bottle production, PEF’shas a better vapour barrier than bio-based PET andCoca Cola is also investing heavily in its development.

PEF can be produced in existing PET plants simply bychanging the feedstock and it can be recycled inexisting PET streams, so no new infrastructure isrequired for its adoption. The initial process for making

Auriga of Spartanburg, South Carolina, USA;•FiberVisions of Duluth, Georgia, USA;•Avgol of Dimona, Israel;•Indorama Asia of Nakon Pathon, Indonesia;•Trevira of Bobingen, Germany;•Wellman International of Mullagh, Ireland.•

IVL says that the Group’s broad expertise in polymers,technologies and processes, together with its globalfootprint, give it unique advantages in meeting thechallenging demands of supplying sustainableproducts within the AHP sector. In addition to its owngoals for sustainable manufacturing, the Group aims tosupport its customers to achieve their environmentaltargets as matters of the highest priority.

At Index 2020, the Group presented its extensive rangeof recycled and biodegradable fibres, including thelatest development, introduced at the show, a textiletechnology called CiCLO, which allows PES and othersynthetics to biodegrade in a manner similar to naturalmaterials. The treatment creates materials thatbiodegrade in the sludge from wastewater treatment

plants, sea water and landfills, and was developed toaddress the problems of synthetic-microfibre andplastic pollution.

Auriga, Trevira and Wellman have been focusing on theCiCLO technology over the past 12 months, developingstaple fibres and filaments of sustainable PET and recycledPET (rPET), particularly for important markets, such ashygiene, home textiles and automotive applications.

Other developments exhibited were:

Trevira’s new range of bicomponent fibres based on•PLA and PBS, which, it told visitors to the show, offergood properties and can be recycled as well as beingfully biodegradable under industrial conditions;Wellman International’s broad range of 100% recycled•PET fibres (branded Deja);Avgol’s bio-based surfactants and colourants•for polyolefins.

throughout Sweden, that aims to combine nano -cellulose with a variety of active components inorder to develop nonwovens with unique capabilities:“There is a new need for large-scale solutions forlocal energy storage for transient sources such aswind, water and solar, as well as materials withphotocatalytic, sensing and thermal managementproperties,” said Granberg, speaking online from hisoffice in Stockholm.

His presentation focused on one active component,poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrenesulfonate (PEDOT:PSS), which responds to variousstimuli such as electrical and magnetic fields,electromagnetic radiation and chemicals. PEDOT:PSShas the highest efficiency among conductive organicthermoelectric materials and so can be used in flexibleand biodegradable thermoelectric generators.

Filaments and filmsAt RISE, nanocellulose and PEDOT:PSS have beencombined in the forms of filaments and films. Infilaments, the PEDOT:PSS self-organises as beads oncellulose nanofibres, producing networks with highconductivities. In addition, Granberg told thedelegates, the filaments are strong and have thehighest stiffness-to-density ratio among bio-based materials.

In film form – known as Power Paper(2) – the nano -cellulose and PEDOT:PSS combination has highelectrical and ionic conductivity, and high capacitance,making it ideal for energy storage. RISE has patentedthe method of extruding the films into a stabilisationbath and continues to work on the development of aroll-to-roll process.

In related research at its pilot plant, RISE has developedpiezo-photo-electronic papers by incorporating zincoxide. The plant can produce these papers at2 km.min–1 at widths of 20 cm. In addition, researchershave printed carbon inks directly onto these materialsto produce sensors for ultraviolet (UV) radiation.

Finally, Granberg said RISE is developing rolls of papercontaining nanographite for applications such aspackaging with built-in electromagnetic shielding andheat-conducting sheets.

Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Jérôme Ville said that theprocess has very low energy consumption and nosolvents or water are needed. He also gave details ofsuccessful commercial applications for the technologyin the absorbent hygiene products (AHPs), medical andbeauty industries, but added that new applications inthe filtration industry(6) were currently proving themost promising.

To develop these applications, Fibroline has pursueda strategy of working in partnership with itscustomers, from product development through toindustrialis ation. In cooperation with one of the Index2020 exhibitors, Beaulieu International Group ofWaregem, Belgium, for instance, the company usedits basic (D-Preg) technology to develop latex-free

polypropylene (PP) carpets. By finding a way toreplace the traditional latex backing with animpregnated PP powder, Beaulieu’s carpets, used forthe flooring in exhibition halls, are now easier tomake and more readily recycled.

Meanwhile, other customers are exploiting D-Pregtechnology to make automotive headliners free from

guarantee its customers reliable worldwide protection,therefore, it owns a large number of patents on itstechnologies, Ville concluded.

Exploiting auxetic structuresPresenting online from the Indian Institute ofTechnology (IIT) in New Delhi, Professor Amit Rawaldescribed work to develop out-of-plane auxetic PP-based nonwovens. Auxetic materials have an unusualproperty in that they become thicker, perpendicular tothe applied force, when stretched. This occurs as aresult of the way their internal structures deform whenthey are pulled.

Such materials canoffer advantageousmechanical properties,such as having a highcapacity to absorb energyand a large fracture-resistance, which IIT aimsto exploit by developingauxetic nonwovens foruse as scaffolds in bone-and cartilage-regeneration therapies.

The New Delhi-basedresearchers createauxetic structures bybuilding-up needledwebs containing acombination of looped,through-thickness andbridging fibres. Tounderstand themorphology andtransport characteristicsof these structuresbetter to optimise theauxetic effect, theresearchers analyethem using X-raycomputed tomography.

Superabsorbent fibresIn a joint presentation, DrJohn Rose and JamesDocherty of Technical

Absorbents Ltd (TAL), based in Grimsby, UK, spokeabout durable applications, the latest developments forthe company’s superabsorbent fibre (tradename SAF)(9),which it has been manufacturing for more than 30 years.

SAF fibres swell – increasing in size according to thevolume of fluid they absorb – while retaining theircylindrical form. They can absorb ten-times more liquidthan other fibres, the seminar learned. Owing to theirlarge surface areas, SAF fibres have a faster rate ofabsorbency than powders and, typically, two-thirds of thefluid absorbed is retained, even when pressure is applied.

Sonobond’s SeamMaster® Ultrasonic Sewing Machines have proven to be easier to use and more reliable than traditional sewing machines or adhesive methods.

Our units produce bonded seams without stitch holes and glue gaps so medical gowns, face masks, shirts and caps can meet tough OSHA requirements for barrier seams. They use a rotary system to create ultra-soft edges for surgical wipes and wound dressings.

Cutting, sealing and lint-free trimming are completed in one pass— at speeds up to four times faster than sewing machines and ten times faster than adhesives machines.

Sonobond is the premier manufacturer of ultrasonic machines for the synthetic textile �eld. Contact us today for more information or to arrange for free sample bonds using your own material.

testing so far has shown they retain 75% of theirfunctionality after 50 wash cycles.

Most recently, TAL has developed a strong gel(12) and alow-shrink material(13). SAF made from the strong gelremains robust when wet and the company has begunsupplying fabrics based entirely on this new fibre. Thelow-shrink SAF was developed in response to demandfrom medical customers for a product that wouldmaintain its shape in wound dressings, while remainingresistant to sterilisation treatments and humidity.

Commercial considerationsWith such a wealth of options to develop functionalnonwovens, it was left to Marc Jolly, Head of Researchand Development (R&D) for Norafin(14) of Mildenau,Germany, to discuss what a company needs to considerwhen attempting to find commercial success. “Thetechnical nonwovens market is conservative and inbringing a new product to market you need to factor-in a two-to-five years’ development period before youstart selling it,” he said. “To speed this up, you have toknow exactly what the market is demanding.”

Norafin devotes around 10% of its annual €220-millionturnover to R&D and its biggest market is for fabrics thatprotect against heat, fire and ballistics. The company’score competencies are in developing hydroentangled

Schober Technolo-gies

Norafin’s latest hydroentangled moisture barrier and

thermal liner for firefighters’ uniforms was featured in

the Index Innovation Lab at the Geneva show. The

barrier has been proven to increase protection against

flames, while at the same time reducing weight,

compared with existing products.

Ahlstrom-Munksjö adds toFiltEV range

Ahlstrom-Munksjö of Helsinki, Finland, hasexpanded its FiltEV range of filtrationmedia for use in electric vehicles (EVs).

For the filtration of cabin air, Ahlstrom-Munksjö has introduced IA350M4, which istreated with a type of activated carbon thatbetter adsorbs volatile organic compounds(VOCs) for a longer period of time than waspreviously possible. It can also adsorbsulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides. Thismedia is combined with media capable offiltering 75% of sodium chloride particlesof 0.5 µm and larger from cabin air. Forfiltering particles from transmission fluids,Ahlstrom-Munksjö has introduced 17PDL-TAY, a dual-layer wetlaid filter.

Filtration update

Adapter enables filtration testing of face masks

Air Techniques International (ATI) hasdeveloped an airtight adapter thatsecurely holds cup- and duckbill-style face masks in place on its100X Automated Filter Tester, sothe can be verified according toindustry standards.

The company, of Owings Mills, Maryland,USA, says that the adapter is sturdy,lightweight and accommodates a widerange of types and sizes of face mask. Itadds that several customers have alreadypurchased the new adapter and feedbackhas been very positive.

The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) ofMatregenix, Sherif Soliman, says: “Ourmasks are unique in shape and provide ahigh level of protection, and therefore weneeded a mask-test adapter that can allowfor quick and easy testing.

ATI’s 100X mask-test adapter is used forquality-assurance tests of our high-

performance filtration masks and wefound the design protects the mask undertest, and best of all, the mask-test adaptercan be cleaned and re-used in underfive minutes.

Accurate results are a must for us,and the 100X mask-test adapterensures the results are both accurateand repeatable.”

The adapter is available as a kit andincludes everything that is needed to testa face mask, including:

Picanol unveils next-generation of connected weaving machines

Picanol (see also, page 5) has unveiled itslatest generation of airjet and rapierweaving machines, which featurenumerous technologies for theirautomation, and the gathering andexchange of data related to their operation.

The company's Vice President of WeavingMachines, Johan Verstraete, says:“Following the successful launch of ourdigital platform PicConnect earlier [inOctober 2021](1), we have now released anew generation of weaving machines,which are known as the Connectgeneration. Our Connect-generationweaving machines can provide the correctdata and are loaded with new and never-before-seen functionalities."

From now on, the names of Picanol'sweaving machines will have the“Connect” suffix. Its airjet weavingmachines are now known as OmniPlus-iConnect and TerryPlus-i Connect, whileits rapier weaving machines are now

called the OptiMax-i Connect and theTerryMax-i Connect.

On the OptiMax-i Connect, Picanol hasintroduced a lubrication-monitoringsensor and a temperature sensor. Thedata they gather in combination will helpthe user to ensure that the gripper tapesare in optimal condition. Further, as anoption, a gripper-stroke measurementsensor can be fitted, which Picanol saysnot only dramatically simplifies thesetting of the gripper stroke, but alsoenables the user to realise highermachine speeds when weavingnarrow widths.

Picaol's Sumo Drive machine drive hasbeen updated with a sheet-metal packagethat reduces its energy consumption, anoptimised oil cooling circuit to improve itsperformance and a built-in sensor formonitoring its temperature.

Further, the Connect machines can beequipped with a power-monitoring

module, which allows the user to keeptrack of the power consumption of eachmachine over time. Every Connectmachine also has a built-in ambient-temperature and -humidity sensor, whichwill help the user to optimise the climatecontrol in the weaving shed. Eachmachine can also be equipped with asensor for monitoring the amount ofraw materials it uses.

To enable a fast reaction to the datagathered by the plethora of sensors onthe new machines, Picanol has alsoupdated its BlueBox control unit.
