Interdisciplinary Cooperation for a New Era of Textile and Fashion Technology
Journal Title: Journal of Textile Science & Fashion Technology (JTSFT) - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Textile and fashion industries are indivisible relation. They are closely interacting components like an organism. The development of textile technology results in the progress of fashion industry and vice versa. Moreover, both are inseparable with natural science, social science, and the arts. In this regard, keeping up with a fashion trend, the researches for dyeing, color, fiber, and textile finishing and treatment have been rigorously performed. Noteworthy is that the textile industry has gradually increased. It has been expected that the textile industry will grow up to 15 billion dollars in 2019. To dominate this market in advance, a differentiated textile has to be developed with the reflection of the fact that people have been dreaming of a better life, a healthy and convenient life. The flexible and portable electronic devices for the wearable healthcare electronics and wearable computer can make the dream come true. In this light, people have focused on not only the electronic textiles (e-textiles) and smart textiles but also advanced materials that can be used to fabricate e-textiles and smart textiles. Chemists, material scientists, and physicists have suggested the novel approaches to fabricate the textiles. One dimensional carbon nanotube (CNT) and two-dimensional van der Waals materials such as graphene and graphene oxide (GO) have been considered as one of the candidates for e-textiles because carbon-based materials is highly conductive and light in weight.
