This counterintuitive behavior opens exciting vistas for design and creation of new textile materials and structures for applications that would benefit from auxetic response to tension or compression. This session will highlight advances in such auxetic textile materials and structures. Some of the presentations will couple auxetic behavior with protective functions for personnel exposed to a dangerous environment or situation. Included in this session will also be presentations on non-auxetic protective textiles. Moderator: Andy Griffin, Georgia Institute of Technology Textiles Auxiliares y de Protección Estructuras y materiales auxéticos son aquellos que se vuelven gordos al estirarse en lugar de volverse más delgados, como sucede en el caso normal. Este comportamiento contra-intuitivo abre pensamientos excitantes para el diseño y creación de nuevos materiales textiles y estructuras para aplicaciones que se beneficiarían de una respuesta auxética hacia la tensión o compresión. Esta sesión resaltara los avances en tales materiales textiles auxéticos y estructuras. Algunas de las presentaciones unirán el comportamiento auxético con funciones de protección para personas expuestas a situaciones o ambientes peligrosos. Incluidas en esta sesión estarán también presentaciones de textiles no-auxéticos de protección.

Welding is the process of joining pieces of synthetic fabrics with various methods: hot air, hot wedge, RF, ultra-sonic, plunge, laser, and impact. Bonding, on the other hand, can be performed on two pieces of fabric by placing a heat activated material (adhesive) between them. Stitch-free seaming technologies are extensively used in performance apparel, sportswear, and fitted active wear. Technical outerwear is becoming less bulky and more form-fitting while retaining the latest advances in waterproof and breathable capability. Moderator: Traci Evling, JTE Machine Soldadura La tecnología libre de costuras—soldadas o pegadas—son dos diferentes conceptos. Soldadura es el proceso de unir piezas de telas sintéticas a base de varios métodos: aire caliente, soldadura caliente, RF, ultra-sónico, planchado, laser e impacto. Pegado, por otro lado, puede ser hecho en dos piezas de tela al colocar un material que se activa con el calor (adhesivo), entre ellas. Las tecnologías libre de costura son utilizadas ampliamente en ropa de desempeño, deportivas y prendas activas a la medida. Las prendas técnicas de uso al aire libre se están volviendo menos voluminosas y con más cuerpo de entalle, mientras mantienen lo más avanzado de la tecnología en métodos a prueba de agua y capacidades de respiración.

Many companies in the textile industry have embarked on a path toward sustainability. This session focuses on sustainability champions sharing their thoughts on emerging technologies, latest trends and the future efforts of maintaining some degree of sustainability while running a profitable enterprise. Moderator: Sam Buff, Textile Technology Center – Gaston College Sostenibilidad /Cómo la Sostenibilidad Auxilia la Industria Textil?

During this session it will be discussed how in different parts of the world technology is being used to improve productivity; questioning if this is all new technology, or simply a reuse of existing methods that were tabled years ago. This session will provide insight into whether large improvements in productivity can bring back production to high cost economies such as the U.S. and if this will create a shift in competitive advantage, or if low(er) cost economies will make the same investments and retain their advantage. Moderator: Matthijas Criettee, IAF Wednesday, May 4, 2016 11:30 am – 1:00 pm Connecting Technical Textiles and Composites, developed by Techtextil North America, Texprocess Americas and JEC Americas Learn how companies have made the connection between technical textiles and composites. Three industry experts will discuss their experiences during an open forum panel.

Durante esta sesión se discutirá como en diferentes lugares del mundo la tecnología está siendo utilizada para mejorar la productividad; preguntándose si esto es todo nueva tecnología o simplemente es la re-utilización de métodos existentes que fueron tabulados años atrás. Esta sesión proveerá una mirada para comprobar si las grandes mejoras en la productividad pueden traer nuevamente la producción a países de economías de alto costo, tales como los USA y si esto creara un cambio en las ventajas competitivas o, si las economías de más bajo costo harán las mismas inversiones y con ello mantener su ventaja.
