German Institutes of Textile and Fiber Research’s Post

#Protective #gloves, such as those used for work, sport or household gardening, retrieve their protective function from a special #coating. This coating provides #abrasion resistance, makes the material #waterproof and #resistant to #chemicals or oil, and even protects against #cuts and punctures. Until now, coatings made of oil-based polymers, nitrile rubber or latex have been the main materials used. Using innovative technologies, scientists at the Deutsche Institute für Textil- und Faserforschung Denkendorf (DITF) have succeeded in developing a #robust yet #flexible glove coating using #environmentally friendly #lignin in a #3Dprinting process. 👉 Read more: https://lnkd.in/eyjVpZGn 👉 German version: https://lnkd.in/eeMMMt2P

📅 Dornbirn-GFC from September 11 to 13, 2024. The Deutsche Institute für Textil- und Faserforschung Denkendorf (DITF) will present a session with interesting lectures on Friday morning: ➡ Structural Design of textiles: Influence of Yarn and patterning on #drying of #knitted fabrics Leon Pauly ➡ NextSpin – Variation of fibre cross-sections of #cellulose filaments by laser-drilled nozzles Dr. Marc Philip Vocht ➡ Cost-effective #lignin-based carbon fibers for new fields of application Erik Frank ➡ Meltblown #nonwovens of #polyhydroxybutyrate: limitations, challenges and potentials in the process and in application Tim Höhnemann ➡ #Release of active ingredients from #porous fibers Andreas Scherrieble ➡ #Solar heat #absorbing and #reflecting fibers and textiles Boris Bauer ➡ #Antibacterial fibers and coatings with #AGXX particles for textile applications Carsten Linti 👉 Join us in Hall A. We also look forward to inspiring discussions at our #exhibition stand.

👉 Take part in 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀 – 𝗡𝗔𝗧𝗨𝗥𝗔𝗟𝗳𝗶𝗯𝗲𝗿𝗘𝗫𝗧𝗥𝗔𝗖𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡! The follow-up event to the successful congress in 2024 will take place on October 9, 2024 in Stuttgart. It is a cooperation event of Allianz Faserbasierte Werkstoffe Baden-Württemberg (AFBW) e.V. and Deutsche Institute für Textil- und Faserforschung Denkendorf (DITF). The #Congress aims to create a platform for all #stakeholders involved in the supply chain – from #farmers to #users – to get an overview of the different #technologies, to share experiences and to provide a decision support for building an effective, #economic, and reliable supply chain for #natural fibres. In an accompanying #exhibition and in a start-up and material #slam companies and institutes present their competencies and offer opportunity for #dialog. Selected start-ups will also give you the opportunity to get to know young companies and their innovative ideas and products. The DITF scientists Markus Milwich and Thomas Stegmaier will moderate various sessions, Claudia Möhl and Dr. Malte Winnacker, among others, will give lectures. We are looking forward to seeing you! "THE Congress – NATURALfiberEXTRACTION“ is funded by the Ministry of Food, Rural Affairs and Consumer Protection of Baden-Württemberg.

𝐍𝐔𝐎 - the world's first soft #wood. #Materials made from domestic, renewable raw materials are becoming increasingly attractive as they reduce #CO2 emissions, prevent #microplastics from entering the environment and close the material #cycle. A project consortium with the Deutsche Institute für Textil- und Faserforschung Denkendorf (DITF) and the companies Schorn & Groh GmbH Karlsruhe and Ribler Stuttgart developed a new #decorative material made from natural components. The #composite material #“Flexwood” consists of a decorative layer of wood from sustainable #forestry in the form of a thin veneer layer and a textile based on cellulose-based #natural fiber materials, which is laminated to the back of the wood veneer for stabilization. Previously, #polyurethane films or polyurethane dispersions were used to bond the textile and wood veneer in comparable applications. In this project, a #sustainable, new solution based on #lignin was developed as an adhesive system for the required lamination. Lignin is a waste product of the paper industry. After lamination, the thin veneer layer is cut into small segments with a laser beam, leaving the underlying textile #intact. The fine engraving gives the wood surface its flexibility and pleasant feel. Due to the resulting extreme #bending and #draping properties, this composite material can be used as a decorative surface and sustainable #leather alternative in #automotive interiors, interior design, #furniture construction, #clothing and many other industries and sectors.

😎 Lucky those who have air conditioning in this heat! 🌡 These days, we are once again feeling the effects of #climate change and how much more energy is needed to cool buildings. ☀ The disadvantage of conventional air conditioners is that they use a lot of electricity and release waste heat and carbon dioxide into the #environment. ❄ Could we simply use the cool temperatures in space? DITF scientists have been researching this. Technologies such as #radiative cooling offer a #sustainable and energy-free solution. They use the wavelength ranges of the #tmosphere that are permeable to #electromagnetic radiation to emit thermal radiation into colder space. Radiative cooling is a ubiquitous process in which a surface facing the sky loses heat through #thermal radiation. The largest object that emits heat through radiative #cooling is the Earth itself. 🌍 In order to utilize this principle, a #resource-saving #coating formulation for technical textiles was developed at the Deutsche Institute für Textil- und Faserforschung Denkendorf (DITF). The textile coated with it enables ❄ cooling down to 2°C below the ambient temperature, even during the day in full sunlight, while the uncoated reference textiles heat up strongly at a #temperature gradient of up to 20°C. The coating is sustainable, easy to apply and scalable. The matrix material has high #UV and weathering stability and is water-repellent. 🏆 For this research in #SelfCoolingTextiles, Lea Zimmermann and Cigdem Kaya from DITF were presented with the #Techtextil Innovation Award in the "New Technology" category. ❔ Interested in more information? 👉 Read the article published in 𝒑𝒐𝒍𝒚𝒎𝒆𝒓𝒔: https://lnkd.in/eFySEJiu Photo 1: Gerd Altmann at Pixabay
