The target group of buyers covers sportswear, sports footwear, wearable technology developers, fashion, home furnishing. Industry and other manufacturers.

High performance and functional knitting technology

In recent years, knitted garments have been processed with various new functional fibers, which are further enhanced in elasticity, softness, air permeability and anti-wrinkle technology. The function and fashion are combined to make the knitted garments more aesthetic and more fitting. body. For example, the Coolmax fiber developed by DuPont of the United States has a cross-section of "bow" shape; the Triactor fiber of Japan Toyobo Co., Ltd. has a cross-section of "丫" shape; the Coolplus fiber of Taiwan ZTE Corporation has a cross-section of "T" shape. Despite the different forms, yarns produced using such fibers, regardless of how they are bent and extruded in the fabric, leave fine voids that produce good capillary action and are the preferred moisture-conducting fibers.

In addition, in order to build on the ever-growing and diversified knitwear market, it is necessary to create more value-added for practical use, such as: waterproofing, UV protection, body temperature regulation, moisture wicking, electromagnetic radiation protection, high-intensity endurance, etc. The "2017 Shanghai Textile Machinery Exhibition" will start from the healthy lifestyle of people, focusing on the latest technology of knitwear, and stimulate the industry's development and innovative thinking.

Smart fabric collision wearable new inspiration

With the continuous development of the textile industry, the clothing industry has gradually broken through the definition of traditional clothing in terms of comfort and warmth. Clothes are no longer just to protect the body from the cold, but also to monitor the body and protect people's health. Special fabrics combined with wearable technology have become an unstoppable trend in the apparel market. A wearable device is a portable device that is worn directly on the body or in combination with the user's clothing or accessories. Wearable devices are not only a kind of hardware, but also more powerful functions through software support and data interaction and cloud interaction. Wearable devices will bring great changes to our lives. The UK's wearable technology company CuteCircuit has developed the world's first "smart skirt", a small black dress with graphite built-in sensor that discolors due to the wearer's breathing rate.

The "2017 Shanghai Textile Machinery Exhibition" will showcase the innovative knitting technology involved in smart fabrics, explore smart fabrics that respond to environmental changes, and further enhance the convenience and comfort that textiles bring to people's lives.

New "Sports Textile Technology" Zone to ignite the potential of the sports market

Nowadays, fitness and healthy living habits are getting more and more people's attention. Sports textiles have become another strong growth field in the clothing market!
