Sustainable Textile School Goes to the World Textile Forum in Zürich


In 2018 the “Sustainable Textile School” took 130 participants from 38 countries to Chemnitz, and in 2019, this intensive exchange on sustainability and digitalization is taking place at the World Textile Forum in Zürich, just before the Global Fibre Congress in Dornbirn in September.
To enable a scientifically-sound exchange of knowledge on sustainability all along the supply chain, the “Sustainable Textile School” began in Chemnitz in 2017 with leading textiles companies and participants from 30 countries. This year we’re delighted to be merging with the World Textile Forum in Zürich to tackle the topic of sustainability and digitalization.
Quick start in 2017
The first edition of the international Sustainable Textile School (STS) in Chemnitz was organized by Gherzi Textile Organization (www.gherzi.com), together with the Chemnitz University of Technology (www.tu-chemnitz.de), EURATEX (www.euratex. eu), and the sponsors Rudolf Chemie (www.rudolf.de), Li & Fung Germany (www.milesgroup.eu), the Südwolle Group (www. suedwollegroup.com) and other partners.
The aim of the conference was and is to develop a sciencebased exchange of knowledge regarding sustainable production and sustainable business models for the production stages of the supply chain in the industry. More than 80 participants from 30 countries were delighted by the enthusiastic and fruitful discourse between training providers and companies around pressing topics in the textiles industry.
Under the heading “Sustainable is the new quality!”, the topic of sustainability was designed and developed by STS to be a topic for product developers, engineers, and supply chain managers, not just one for the communications department.
Digital sourcing & production
The network of 16 international universities and 46 companies with 130 participants from 38 countries developed further thanks to the second STS in Chemnitz in 2018. Process optimization and waste management in the textiles chain were the dominant topics in the talks and breakout sessions. The topic of digitalization, and thus “Digital Sourcing & Production”, was chosen as the key topic for the 2019 event.

Saturated Fatty Acids Derivatives as Assistants Materials for Textile Processes

Image
  Abstract Many auxiliaries have been used in textile industries in dry or wet processes. One of the important based materials is fatty acids and its derivatives. The present work aims at preparing some textile auxiliaries based on saturated fatty acids. Six different materials were used to react with each fatty acid. Produced materials have been characterised using FT-IR, HLB and cloud point. Based on the HLB values, produced materials have been used as softeners or as O/W emulsifiers (printing paste). Treated fabrics with softeners show a very good physical and mechanical properties and printed fabrics with prepared pastes shows a good printing paste with good prints characteristics (colour strength and colour fastness).

Modern Fibers: A Human- Centered Technology

Image
Textile Science and Fashion Technology Clothing represents one of the most ancient forms of human expression and is a tool that an individual use to express his/her culture and social status in society. Since the dawn of civilization, humans have used fabrics to provide basic warmth and show aesthetics. People gradually added more patterns and styles, creating clothing out of different materials. Today, the U.S. fashion and apparel industry are a $12 billion business, with the average American family spending $1,700 on clothes annually (BLS Data 2018) [1]. The fiber sector of the clothing and textile industry has undergone substantial change in recent years, and the modern fibers have opened a whole new frontier for clothing products. Modern fibers, also known as smart fibers, are becoming a human-centered technology. The smart fabrics will have the capability to see, hear, and sense their surroundings and to respond to the external stimulus through an active control mechanis...

The Rain Maker

Opinion On the bottom floor of the Besse Library and across the Media Center is a room that either most people probably don’t pay attention to or always wonder what it contains. The room holds thousands of stories from all over the country, dating from over a century ago to the present day. These stories are not limited to paper and a bound cover but by thread and fabric. They all help create the Historic Costume Study Collection. Upon entering the cold room, you might feel overwhelmed. On the wall to the left are shelves that contain purses, hats, and muffs; on the right, there are shoes, gloves, and jewelry in cabinets and in repurposed library catalog card holders. Of course, you cannot overlook the mountain of garment boxes reaching up to the ceiling. The back wall has the fur and extensive wedding gown sections. Clothing racks are placed in messy rows that make maneuvering around difficult. The Historic Costume Study Collection has all you could ever need and want from fashion. Th...
