The Power Of High-Tech In The Swiss Textile Industry

With the long tradition of textile tradition and innovation, Swiss companies are Spin Competitive advantages are emerging in the new textile world that meets the fine technology of everyday fabrics.

There are many buzz solar power projects in Switzerland, which aim to fly the first solar powered aircraft around 2014. So who will consider what the pilot will wear? clothing ?

Textile engineers from the Swiss Confederation materials science and technology laboratory will do these things, which will not be standard flying uniforms. Scientists have developed a unique temperature control system to integrate into such uniforms.

Marcel habson, project manager of the protection and physiology and advanced fiber Bureau of Swiss Confederation's materials science and technology laboratory, said: "because Fiji is not able to provide climate control energy in the cockpit, we have developed a multi-functional system. uniform Pilots are allowed to adjust their temperature according to flight conditions. "

This is only one of many high-tech textile innovation projects in Swiss Confederation's materials science and technology laboratory. In order to promote the research of product promotion in Switzerland, the experimenters collaborate with the industry. For example, the Swiss Confederation materials science and technology laboratory has recently developed an air conditioning bulletproof vest with private partners, including the private Nick textile company, which specializes in refrigeration garments and is developing bulletproof vests.

Tested by Zurich police officers, this bulletproof vest contains two water filling liners and ventilation systems, which can effectively cool the body and reduce the temperature of two times. Nick Nick said that the product already has high demand, especially from the tropical countries, such as Saudi Arabia and India. The company's next step is to scale up the operation of the product and begin large-scale production.
