Nanotechnology and smart textiles for industry and fashion
19 March 2008 - 19 March 2008
United Kingdom
An international conference on nanotechnology and smart textiles for industry and fashion will take place on 19 March in London, UK.
Nanotechnology is leading to a spectrum of advances in textiles, for example, in sports and health applications, to monitor and relay vital signs and fitness levels, while in glamour garments, embedded Light Emitting Displays (LEDs) enable them to glow in different colours. Other materials stiffen-up on impact, cushioning the elderly against falls, while some garments offer wound healing capabilities.
The aim of the conference is to provide an international platform where a diverse community of professionals from industry, academia and fashion can come together to share information, research findings and practical experiences. The conference will provide introductory and in-depth information on technology in a large spectrum of current and future textile applications.For further information, please visit:
