Abstract

Long time has passed, man does not take from nature what is strictly necessary any more and textile has lost the unique primary function to protect. New functions are required to modern textiles: wearing comfort, durability, cleaning properties, optimized functionality for specific applications (workwear, sportswear, medical wear). Also in the case of textile industry, materials engineering and fashion designer have looked at nature as source of inspiration to create technical clothing with higher levels of functions and smartness.
