- 40. High-Performance Fibres aregenerally characterized by remarkably high unit • Tensile strength and modulus • Resistance to heat, flame • Resistance to chemical agents that normally degrade conventional fibres. Speciality Fibres: made from either commonly available raw materials or new materials and have special performance properties such as • Dyeability • Adhesion • Absorbency • Conductivity • Flame retardancy • Response to external stimuli (produced from specialty polymers) • Special surface characteristics (produced by special techniques)etc.
- 41. These can beobtained by using different approaches such as : • Using Additives such as colorants, flame retardants, conducting fillers, antistatic compounds, etc. during the spinning process. • Surface Modification using chemical finishes for specific properties, such as hydrophilicity, high absorbency, low friction, etc. • Special Spinning Processes are used to produce different cross-section, bicomponent micro or nanofibres. • Advanced or Special Polymeric Materials are used for making smart or responsive fibres. These can be shape memory fibres (responsive to pH, temperature or electric field), fibres that can store heat or chemicals and self adaptive fibres (i.e. self tightening sutures, self-fitting shoes and medical devices).
- 42. Nanofibres: Diameters ofless than 100 nm. • Processing techniques including drawing, template synthesis, phase separation, self-assembly, and electrospinning. • Synthetic and natural polymers have been electrospun including polylactic acid (PLA), polyurethane (PU), polycaprolactone (PCL), etc. • Amongst natural polymers, collagen, chitosan, hyaluronic acid, and silk fibrion have been successfully electrospun into nanofibres. • Many technical applications; in medicine, tissue engineering (2D and 3D scaffolds), drug delivery, and implants to wound healing and wound dressings. • Nanofibres in engineering applications include filtration, photovoltaic cells, membrane fuel cells, dye-sensitised solar cells to carrier materials for various catalysts and photocatalytic air/water purifiers. • In apparel form, cover clothing, shoes, sportswear, diapers, and napkins.
- 43. Structures withnegative Poisson’s ratio. Poisson’s ratio describes the quantitative relationship of lateral contraction to elongation in uniaxial extension of a homogenous isotropic material (i.e. ʋ = ΔLy/ΔLx). Material is said to have an auxetic behaviour when it becomes fatter as it is stretched. Positive attributes, including increased shear stiffness, improved fracture toughness, and increased indentation resistance. Surgical implants to suture/ligament locking devices, dilators in blood vessels, and controllable heart valves.
- 44. • Fibres thatcan generate electricity due to the application of force. • Such materials include crystals, certain ceramics, some biological matters (e.g. bones, proteins, and DNA). • These fibres have a number of application potentials in textile sensors, actuators, and energy absorption. • These fibres can subsequently be woven or knitted into textile-based garments or serve as the main textile garments.
- 45. • Converts lightenergy to electricity. • Photovoltaic fibres suitably made to be used in clothing and wearable products are being considered to generate sufficient electrical energy to run personal devices such as mobile phones, IPads, and laptops.
- 46. • That shapememory fibres remember their permanent shape status and return to it after a temporary shape change by application of heat or other stimuli.
- 47. • Naturally antimicrobialfibres include bamboo, alginate, and chitosan. • Alginate, originating from seaweed, is an anionic polysaccharide that can absorb up to 200–300 times of water on its own weight. • Chitosan, which is derived from chitin by a chemical deacetylation process, is found in the hard shell of crustaceans such as crabs, lobsters, and shrimp. • Collagen (the most abundant protein in the human body) fibres have increasingly become more popular because of their high strength and resilience, often matching fibres found in human skin, blood vessels, teeth, and tendons.
- 48. Clothing iscurrently supposed to have more functions rather than just certain climatic protection and good look. A revolutionary new property of clothing is to exchange information. Clothing is now capable of recording, analyzing, storing, sending and displaying data, which is a new dimension in intelligent systems. An intelligent clothing may sense, measure and respond to various stimuli. Imparting electrical conductivity to the garment will enhance many of its functional properties .
- 49. Conductive textiles Conductive textilesare material that have a certain level of electrical conductivity and electrical properties by virtue of which they can be used for diversified applications rather than clothing or garment. Conductive textiles are a part of development of wearable technology, that are referred to as intelligent clothing or smart clothing that allow for the incorporation of built-in technological elements in everyday textiles and clothes.

- 53. Polymers arehighly Electro- conductive but, lack processability to produce fibres. Tensile strength of its film is poor. Textiles are strong but insulators. If conducting polymers can be applied on textile surface then synergy of both polymer and textile properties will yield a novel composite textile. These electro-conductive textiles can be used in various applications such as heating pads, EMI shielding, sensors, static charge dissipation etc. 53

Editor's Notes
- #52 The basis of smart textiles are electroconductive materials. Several materials are in use. Metal fibres such as stainless steel and copper are readily available. The have a fair to excellent conductivity level. Their properties being very much different from polymer fibres they may be hard to process and show some particular problems of long term stability. Alternatively polylmer fibres may be coated with a conductive layer such as polypyrol, copper or gold. The conductivity will be maintained as long as the layer is intact and still adhering to the fibre.
