Avis d'un expert sur les "Modal fabrics"
MODAL: British generic
fiber category for manufactured cellulose fabrics having a high
breaking strength. Often mixed with other fibers. basically its
modified rayon.
1. Modal fabric have softness handle, good drape and comfortable wearing
2.
Modal fabric have good moisture regain and air permeability which is
better than cotton fabric, it is the ideal material of body suit and
health suit, which can be done favor of physiology circulation and
health of body.
3. Modal fabric have level up surface, fine and smooth and velvet, which have the effect of natural silk.
4. Modal fabric have bright and colorful luster, which is a natural mercerizing fabric.
5.
The wearing ability of Modal fabric is very good, after test of
comparing, the cotton fabric after washing 25 times, the cotton fabric
will become more stiff, while the Modal fabric will be much soft and
bright and colorful.
6. The effect of the
finished Modal garment is very good, and the form is much steady, which
is anti-crease and easy care naturally,and can make wearing much
convenient and nature.

Communiqué d'un expert finlandais sur les "Smart clothes"
Smart clothes can improve occupational safety
”Smart clothes” are clothes that
employ new technologies:technological developments have made it possible to integrate electronic components into
conventional garments. In
demanding conditions, such as working in heavy industries, very specific demands are
placed on work
apparel and materials, as they must protect the wearer from any hazards found in
the working environment.
Smart clothes design offers new material technology applications to make work apparel safer and more specifically suited to the work and environment in question. Smart clothes also make it possible for the wearer’s vital functions to be monitored, using, for example, an electromyograph (EMG).
The goal of the Academy-funded Models for Intelligent Garment Design (MeMoGa) research project is to develop methods and models for the research and design of smart clothes as well as to study matters related to their usability and social acceptability. The MeMoGa project approaches new, multidisciplinary research fields through the research of clothing design, fibre material technologies and physiology.
The
material applications used in new types of work apparel include
impact-protective materials, which can be divided into two categories: phase change materials
(PCMs) and auxetic materials. "One example of phase change materials might be d3o, which is made of
”smart molecules”. Phase
change materials move normally with the body, but when impacted, they protect the wearer
by instantly hardening
and then returning to their normal state once the impact load is released,"
explains researcher
Mailis Mäkinen. Auxetic materials, on the other hand, are energy-absorbing materials,
whose cross-section expands when stretched. "Auxetic materials include metals, ceramic or polymer materials
or composites.
These materials withstand pressure better than standard materials," says Mäkinen.
Many
challenges facing the
adoption of new materials.There
are many challenges facing the use of new materials. The use of innovative new materials and integration
of electronic and other types of components into garments requires, for example, the development of new
types of testing methods and standards.
Furthermore,
the development of materials, such as their mechanical properties, temporal durability or functionality
in various conditions, may take a long time.
Garment-integrated
electronics or other
types of components in particular present problems in the washing or maintenance
of the garment.
In many cases the high cost of new materials discourages their adoption.
User
needs and desires play
a key role in the development of smart clothes
The
needs and desires of work apparel users are surveyed before beginning the design of smart clothes, in
order to ensure that the design will meet the user’s needs as effectively as
possible.
Before the
design phase, it is important to identify the user as someone who is generally
open to the use
of technology and understand in what way a new technology, such as electronic
components, change the user’s perceptions of the garment. This helps to predict
how the technology should appear in the garment, i.e. how invisible or visible it can be.
A
crucial part of ensuring the user-orientation of smart clothes is a usability assessment. A virtual
prototype was developed for this purpose in order to allow end users evaluate a still non-existent
smart garment before actually building the actual, physical prototype. "A virtual prototype involves such
material as 3D models and 3D animations, which are used to present a realistic iteration of the
prototype to the user instead of just showing them conceptual drawings. Animation
makes it possible
to show how the prototype will be used in a working environment, which demonstrates the
smart garment’s
possible uses in a heavy industry environment,"explains researcher Riikka Matala. The
goal of assessment
is to make the user a part of the design process and possibly reduce the need
for producing expensive (at this stage of development) and time-consuming
physical rototypes.
Intelligent garments are being studied as part of the Academy’s PROACT Research Programme
The University of Lapland Department of Textile and Clothing Design, Tampere University of Technology Institute of Fibre Material Science, and University of Kuopio Department of Physiology are participants in the MeMoGa research project. The project is part of the Academy of Finland’s Proactive Computing (PROACT) Research Programme.
