2. Definition
Specifically engineered to deliver a pre-
defined performance or functionality to the
user, over and above it’s normal functions.
Made from a mix of innovative materials,
and functionality in this case would imply
the added value or function
that a garment is expected to perform.
Structural testing and prototyping to Advanced
Functional Fibers
3. Use of functional fibers
Automotive engineering,
Aerospace,
Aeronautics,
Architecture
Healthcare
Military and security.
Sportswear
Fire fighting textile
Medical textile
6. Properties
Heat & flame resistant
Chemical resistant
Micro-organism protection
Moisture absorbing capacity
Air permeability
UVA and UVB rays protective
Sen soring device
Wight reducing factor
7. New method for making functional fabric
Plasma technology is used to modify the chemical structure as
well as the topography of textiles, foils, composites and other
fibrous material. It has the ability to add functional
characteristics to materials, for example water resistance or
absorption, antibacterial properties, improved adhesion etc.
8. Conclusion
The recent invention of functional fiber is producing
military dress which can help a solder to feel too much low
weight so that he can move easily and do not loss his
concentration . I think this is the best invention and in
future researchers can be able to use this fiber on arms also
so that they may feel relax to move their arms also.
