New high-performance functionalised materials
R&D OF HIGH-PERFORMANCE TEXTILES FOR SECTORS WITH EXTREME TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS
HIGHTEX
Motivation
There is a huge variety of technical products available for sectors with exacting technical demands and highly specific requirements. The need for optimum performance from these products makes them subject to rigorous quality standards and demanding regulations.
This project aims to develop alternatives using sustainable, recycled or natural materials to create a final product with similar characteristics to those obtained with standard technical yarns.
Objectives
- Provide sectors with technical requirements such as the aerospace, medical, automotive and sports industries, with high performance fabrics that meet their demands.
- Seek sustainable alternatives to improve sustainability in the value chain and production efficiency to create a more eco-efficient product.
Expected results
- Obtain high performance fibres with sustainable materials through the extrusion of multifilament yarns
- Obtain hybridisations in “Tapes” and “Spread-Tow” format using different yarns and fibres
- Production of fabrics using the yarns developed throughout the project
- Obtain thermoformed technical demonstrator fabrics
- Obtain products with technical characteristics similar to commercially available fabrics
- Obtain characterisation data on the processes and materials used to guarantee the final quality of the products
