Biomimetic textiles

In Chapter 4, VerOTiika Kapsali describes the advancement in the field of biomi-metics in general and its potential use in sports textiles in particular. Biomimetic textiles use textile-related technologies as a platform to transfer properties and functionalities identified in biological systems into fibrous stmctures. This is achieved... [Pg.13]

Biomimetic textiles are under development and these include hydrophobic, self-cleaning surfaces analogous to the behaviour of leaf surfaces occurring in nature, such as the lotus plant, and flexible, translucent thermal insulated membranes analogous to the behaviour of the polar bear s fur (Stegmaier and Planck, 2007). [Pg.253]

Moreover, new biomimetic materials generate new perspectives on nature and artefacts that could help change the public image of chemistry. The development of synthetic materials - synthetic dyestuffs in the late nineteenth century and synthetic textiles in the twentieth century - has been celebrated as the triumph of artificial over natural products. In contrast to synthetic materials of the plastics era, composite materials (though still artificial and even more artificial than the conventional plastics) have turned the chemist s attention back to nature. [Pg.268]
