The Wool Research Association (WRA), Thane has got its thermal manikin commissioned which was procured from Thermetrics, USA. This Manikin will be used for testing complete sportswear instead of sample of a few inches or centimeters.

The global technical textile market is growing along with new innovations and developments. While a large part of the demand comes from developed countries, the increasing industrialisation and development of emerging countries is driving the growth of the overall market. The United States is the largest market for consumption of technical textile products, accounting for a share of 23 per cent followed by western Europe, China and Japan with a share of 22 per cent, 13 per cent and 7 per cent respectively.

Self-reinforced polymer composites (SRPC) consist of highly oriented reinforced polymer fibres and a low melting fraction of the same polymer family as matrix, write Marie-Isabel Popzyk, Sangeetha Ramaswamy, Volker Niebel, Thomas Gries, Linde De Vriese, Kristel Beckers and Lien Van der Schueren.

Nonwoven substrates made using spunmelt and carding processes are cost effective to develop tissue scaffolds. A team of researchers from the University of Missouri-Columbia and University of North Carolina (UNC)/North Carolina State University (NCSU) have found that nonwoven substrates produced using the above traditional methods provided viable tissue scaffold medium compared to electrospun nanofibre webs.
