- Title
Gefüllte Hohlfasern für textile Schutzzonen am Körper.
- Abstract
At the Innovation Day for SMEs of the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection, new functional textiles such as protective vests and safety belts with filled core-shell fibers are presented. The Thuringian Institute for Textile and Plastics Research has developed a novel conceptual approach in which dilatant fluids are incorporated into the hollow fibers. These fluids transform into a temporary solid after sudden force impact. The project team sees potential for mass-produced products with reversible protective effects that could be used in various industries. There is already interest from medium-sized companies in the project's results.
