Industrial Finishing Processes. Get into Textiles
Description
Resins and oils applied to linen helped preserve Egyptian mummies for thousands of years. Using finishing to change a fabric's properties isn't new, but there are a growing number of techniques that allow engineers to radically enhance the performance of materials, creating garments that can be used in subzero temperatures and in raging fires. This program examines physical and chemical industrial finishes, explaining how they are created and their many commercial applications. The video also takes a look at "smart" and future finishes, including an interactive type that would detect physiological changes and notify wearers when they are getting sick.
