| Techtextil and Avantex Symposiums 2011 Techtextil Symposium or Avantex-Symposium 2011 will be held parallel to Techtextil, International Trade Fair for Technical Textiles and Nonwovens, in Frankfurt am Main from 24 to 26 May 2011. The aim of both symposiums is to generate new impulses for the sectors covered, to boost interdisciplinary communication and to disseminate information about the latest developments and potential applications. Technical textiles can be and are used in all sectors. Thus, there is a huge potential market combined with a permanent demand for information from the various target groups. The Techtextil Symposium gives manufacturers and users the chance to obtain and discuss information on an interdisciplinary basis. Current developments and trends for new and innovative apparel textiles improve not only the properties and, therefore, the areas of application for garments but also make new kinds of clothing possible. This is connected with an increased demand for information and communication. The Avantex Symposium offers this opportunity combined with the chance to enter into an interdisciplinary dialogue. A variety of subjects will be covered within the framework of lecture blocks at the two symposiums. The themes planned are as follows: 1. Materials + products from renewable resources, e.g., from bio-polymers, natural fibres 2. Nano-technology and technical textiles – current and potential applications 3. Biomimetics / bionics (textile technology + textile materials, inspired by nature) 4. E-textiles / portable technologies 5. Fashion + Design (innovative garment textiles / Avantex) 6. Intelligent materials, e.g., textile materials with adaptive or reactive properties 7. Technology: new developments in the fields of production, processing, coating, finishing / dressing ... 8. Materials: new developments in the field of fibres and all kinds of technical textiles 9. Composites, textile-reinforced materials 10. Visions: tomorrow's markets, products and applications 11. Industrial design and / or function of technical textiles, e.g., the needs of various industries that (could) use technical textiles. write your comments about the article :: © 2010 Exhibition News :: home page |
