The developing focus of each European country is as follows:Italy and France are focusing on innovation; emphasizing high quality and superior brand image; Germany and Switzerland are focusing on high-tech technical textile and textile equipments. Besides, every country pays attention on environmental friendly textile, clothing science ( i.e. establishes new evaluation system or new standard )… etc, and emphasizes on high value added product or personalized product.
The recent research focus of textile technology lay in the application of nano technology in textile, the application of biotech in textile, high-tech integrated smart wear (wearable motherboard), application of PCM, smart textiles, …etc。

Functional textiles/cosmetotextile
“the ability to adapt to the environment, either by making a change in oneself or by changing the environment or
finding a new one (…)”Encyclopaedia Britannica
•They are materials that react to impulses without the need for us to control them
•They are able to respond to its environment
•In garment they react to impulses coming from outside to inside
•They react automatically to some kind of stimuli
What is considered “intelligence” ?

Intelligent textiles are fibers and fabrics with a significant and reproducible automatic change
of properties due to defined enviroment influences
Other textiles that are more passive can be called high performance textiles. Microfibers are very passive and waterproof, but at the same time
permeable to water vapour
Innovative Materials and Textiles TechnologiesMicroencapsulation in fiber
PHASE CHANGE MATERIALS (PCMs) are usually mixtures of paraffin waxes. If outside is warmer PCMs absorb external heat and melt (solid/liquid phase
change), refreshing the body they are in contact with.
On the contrary, core paraffin freeze (liquid/solid phase change), releasing heat to the body, when outside is cooler.
The innovative aspects refer to the application of microencapsulation technology for the introduction of functional additives in polymeric and natural
fibres.

Cosmetic products are plant natural extracts microencapsulated in a biodegradable polymer shell. They can be introduced in fibres to obtain cosmetic
textiles suitable for personal care.

Phase Change Material (PCM)
SolidPCM temperature is lower

LiquidPCM temperature is higher

SolidPCM temperature is lower
than freezing point
Heat is liberated
These materials store, release or absorb heat as they oscillate between solid and liquid form, giving off heat as they change to a solid state and absorbing it as they return to a liquid state.PCMs can be incorporated within fibers or foams, or may be coated into fabrics.The incorporation of PCMs within a fiber requires first that the paraffin-PCM is microencapsulated.
In order to produce a microencapsulated PCM, some of the following criteria had to be met:• particle size• uniformity of particle size• stability to mechanical action and chemicals• core-to-shell ratio, with PCM content as high as possible.

Why jojoba oil ?
It's a chemically waxy ester that is derived from the desert plant Simmondsia Chinensis.The physical properties of jojoba oil are: high viscosity, high flash and fire point, high dielectric constant, high stability and low volatility. Its composition is little affected by temperatures up to 300°C. Jojoba oil contains straight- chained C20 and C22 fatty acids and alcohols and two unsaturated bonds, which make the oil susceptible to many different types of chemical manipulations. The extracted oil is relatively pure, non-toxic, biodegradable, and resistant to rancidity. It is smooth and non-greasy and has the closest similarity to sebum, our own natural skin oil. It's balancing and soothing properties make it excellent for skin care, hair care and skin nourishment. Jojoba is rich in Vitamin E giving it a very long shelf life.
The correct selection of modified clay is essential to ensure effective penetration of the polymer or its precursor into the interlayer spacing of the clay and result in the desired exfoliated or intercalated product. Indeed, further development of compatibiliser chemistry is undoubtedly the key to expansion of this nanocomposite technology beyond the systems where success has been achieved to date. Polymer can be incorporated either as thepolymeric species itself by melt blending, for example extrusion, or via the monomer, which is polymerised in situ to give the corresponding polymer-clay nanocomposite.Both thermosets and thermoplastics have been incorporated into nanocomposites.

Interfacial polycondensationReaction of two monomers (amine and acid chloride) at the interface between two immiscible liquid phases to form a film of polymer.When the aqueous phase and the organic phase are emulsified to form an Oil/Water dispersion, the reactants diffuse together and quickly polymerize to form a thin coating which encapsulates the disperse phase.
