Objective
This project aims at transforming the traditional resource-drive textile industry into a knowledge-based, sustainable and competitive industry by creating breakthrough innovation in a high-tech area in technical textiles for construction.
Because this area is a driver for innovation it will create significant spill-overs to other important textile technological areas such as, but not limited to, protective clothing, automotive textiles, textile for transportation & packaging, fibre reinforced structural elements, upholstery materials?.
It addresses the development of radically new concepts and new knowledge in multi-functional technical textiles materials using nanotechnology, nano-structured materials and bio-mimic principles. Following a holistic approach, this project aims at developing a breakthrough in textile architecture, lightweight textile reinforced structures and tension fabric structures industry (textile buildings for short).
Building with textiles has an industrial potential, the like of which we only expect for the building material glass. The technology which will be developed in this project will lead to textile buildings of the future which will combine creativity and aesthetics with multi-functional, resource-conserving materials utilization, short construction periods, long life and low costs and will lead to a new building technology for safe, healthy and comfortable shelters.
The research will focus on the development of lightweight walls and façade elements, lightweight but strong textile cables and belts, thick and thin wall textile materials which provide protection against rain, wind, provide thermal insulation, noise insulation.
