Novel Temperature Regulating Fibres and Garments (NoTeReFiGa)
Start date: Jan 1, 2009, End date: Dec 31, 2012,
The objective of the project is to develop novel temperature regulating fibres and innovative textile products for thermal management, selected by the SME segment of the textile industry in Europe. The temperature regulating effect is achieved by novel methods of incorporating large amounts of phase changing materials (PCM) in textile fibres. When the body temperature increases, the PCM melts and ...

Development of ECOlogical friendly and flexible production processes for textile COATings based on innovative polyolefine polymer formulations (DECOCOAT)
Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2011,
"The European textile industry is confronted with a constant increase of ecological awareness. For instance, soft PVC is coming under ecological pressure. The polymer not only has high halogen content, but also requires the use of plasticisers. Some of these (e.g. specific phthalates) are toxic and can alter the expression of gender characteristics and are leading to a lowered fertility. Some of ...
