Lets Focus the European Textile Industry

 Turnover 2007: 210 billion

 Companies: 145,000 - Mainly Small & Medium-sized enterprises

 Employment: 2,5 million people (-6% compared 2006)

 Diverse sectors
    Clothing & apparel
    Home & interiors
    Technical textiles

 High competence of low-wage countries (North Africa, China,
  Pakistan,..)

 Search for new commercialization strategies & innovative products
How is the future for European Textile Industry?

Platform for the Future of Textiles and
Clothing

                                                            Environmentally friendly
But still, there are some general concerns.


 What is Nanotechnology

 What are the benefits of using it

                    How much will it cost me?


               Is it safe to use nano-enhanced
               products?

               Is it dangerous to produce them?
However.. Is it already possible to buy nano-enhanced
  products?
   Self-cleaning / Lotus effect            Water repellency




                                          Moisture
                                         management

Anti-bacterial                 Flame
                             retardant




                                                      www.nanotechproject.org
Why we can find already nano products?


 Use of nanotechnology is considered to be a good marketing
  tool for certain properties

 Most of the current nano-enhanced products available in the
  market are obtained by the application of nano-enabled
  coatings

 Does everything that claims to be nano contain
  naotechnology?

 Nano is not a protected term
What could be the nano-enhanced products in the
  near future?

Technical textiles is the sub-sector with more potential
      Reinforced textiles
      Conductive textiles
      Nano-encapsulates for medical applications
      Fire retardant textiles
      Optical effects
      Nanofiltration

However growth is conditioned by several factors
What are the barriers for nanotechnology to be widely
  adopted by the textile industry?
 Textile industry is a fragmented/traditional sector reluctant to
  change

 There is a general lack of knowledge about nanotechnology
  (Benefits & risks)

 Difficulties in process scale-up

 Lack of nano-experienced personnel at the industry

 Technical limitations
    Process reliability, difficulty to achieve the desired particle dispersion,
     wash-ability, availability of nanomaterials and other functional
     requirements
What is the current situation of nanotechnology in the
  textile industry?.. Facts

 Several nano textile products are already in the market
  mainly in the apparel and home textiles sectors

 Main functionalities provided by nanotechnology are: self-
  cleaning & anti-bacterial
  In most cases nanotechnology is just part of the solution


 Still there are some technical and economical challenges for
  wider industrial impact

 Nano-enabled products still represents a minor part of the
  total market (Significantly less than 1%)
What can we expect in the near future?

 Initial forecast predicted an exponential growth of
  Nanotechnology in the textile sector in the coming years

 At present, these forecasts seem highly overrated due to:
    Current Nanotechnology penetration
    State of the art of nanotechnology developments
    Industrys concerns regarding Nanotechnology implementation
     (HSE issues, increase in final product costs, No perception of need
     to change, difficulty to replace existing processes, lack of qualified
     resources)
     present economic situation
Nanotechnology is around the corner.




                    But

                    it is going to take a while before we get there!
Thank you
for your attention!
