Objectif
Main objective of the Project is to integrate advanced polymers with piezoelectrical and electrostrictive properties in textiles, in order to develop advanced products, garments and footwear, to be applied for safety, sensing and monitoring applications. Project is based on the experience of the Partners involved in a comprehensive value-chain. S/T Objectives are related to the Polymer adaptation, poling and integration with textile substrates, application into garment and footwear systems and their validation in real products.
The TIIWS Project attempts to introduce intelligence in everyday products, according to a well-established research and new product development trend. The approach is to exploit functional materials that can be fused in invisible way within the products, which act as sensors while absolving their functions (garments and shoes). The innovation associated with TIIWS Project runs in the direction of overcoming the lack in integration of the sensing elements into smart products, their lasting and the quality of response to stimuli.
The progress introduced within TIIWS Project is such that the exclusive technologies developed and available within the hi-tech SME PIELLE with the external support of the material supplier SOLVAY SOLEXIS S.p.A. is furthered into products providing concrete advancement to the whole partnership of the SMEs covering the whole manufacturing value-chain. The products and associated business generated are relevant for the strong impact at European level in smart products, and to develop knowledge relevant to implement the concepts into advanced systems and products in diverse technical fields.
