SUMMARY
FABRICS FOR MEDICAL TEXTILES
Biomedical Structures (BMS) has developed a new absorbable scaffold for surgical applications

FABRICS FOR TECHNICAL TEXTILES
Teijin Aramid has launched a new fabric called Twaron LFT SB1 plus which is suitable for
anti-ballistic applications
The University of Fukui and Kuraray have developed a non-woven fabric which selectively
absorbs and separates metal ions

FABRIC TREATMENTS
Alexium has developed a new treatment which can be used to apply a flame retardant (FR)
finish and an oil and water repellent finish to polyamide fabric

FIBRES FOR TECHNICAL TEXTILES
A team of scientists has developed a fibre which can be woven into a fabric to create a touchsensitive
material
Scientists at the University of Wyoming have created genetically modified silkworms to make
them spin silk which contains spider proteins
Teijin and Tokyo Institute of Technology have developed a highly conductive nanofibre
Teijin Aramid has developed a new high performance lightweight aramid yarn called Twaron
550f1000
Teijin Fibers will launch a finer version of its Nanofront nanofibre
Teijin has developed a new separator for lithium-ion secondary batteries (LIBs) which can
improve their output and extend their life spans

GEOSYNTHETICS
TenCate Geosynthetics North America has developed a new woven geosynthetic called
Mirafi H2Ri
TenCate Grass Americas has incorporated heat reflective technology into TenCate XP Blade

TEXTILES FOR MEDICAL EQUIPMENT
North American Rescue (NAR) has launched a new range of battery-activated products which
are designed to prevent hypothermia
