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.
Avgol, a global leader in the manufacture of nonwoven fabric solutions, will be showcasing its innovative range of products for the hygiene market at one of the industry’s premier exhibitions, IDEA16. The event takes place at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Centre, USA, May 2-5, 2016 and Avgol will be on Booth 1206.
Technical textiles have made their mark as reinforcing materials for use in concrete structures. The world’s first bridge made from fibre-reinforced concrete was erected in 2005 in Oschatz. Textiles made from carbon-fibre rovings are particularly suitable for reinforcing concrete, since carbon fibres weighing approximately 1.8 g/cm3 are four times lighter and, with a load-bearing capacity of 3,000 N/mm2, are six times more efficient than conventional steel-reinforced concrete.
Today, Suvin is one of the major consultancy firms in India making its strong mark in domestic as well as international textile industry. Avinash Mayekar, MD & CEO, is continuously promoting technical textiles in India since 2000 and have successfully executed several projects in domestic as well as international markets.
