NanoItalTex 2006: Nanotechnology for the Italian textile sector

Nanotechnology and smart textiles for the innovative development of theTextile Industry and Fashion within an European framework

The success of the 1st NanoItalTex conference of July 2005, which has pointed out the potentialities of nanotechnology for the textile sector and the existence in Italy, both within industry and public research, of competences capable to sustain the efforts in this field, has prompted AIRI/Nanotec IT and TexClubTec to repeat the event extending goals, contents and aims.

Nanotechnology and smart textiles are, in fact, considered today a relevant opportunity for the innovative development of the textile industry and fashion and also the “European Technological Platform for Textiles and Fashion” considers nanotechnology and smart textiles fundamental tools for the future development of these sectors.

The two day programme has tackled two distinct topics.

• State-of-the-art of R&D and application of nanotechnology and smart textiles.

With the contributions of experts coming from academia and industry, the impact of these emerging technologies on the entire productive line has been put to the fore showing how they can have effects in a wide spectrum sectors: from fashion to transportation, from health to construction, from cosmetics to environment. Nanotechnology and smart textiles offer to textile and related industries new tools for competition and will open the doors to applications and markets often totally new.

The second day the attention has been focused on the guidelines which will direct the future development of the sector and the role and importance of cooperation and public funding in promoting the needed innovation.

The contributions have presented:

• Content of the “European Technological Platform for Textiles and Fashion” end the priorities set forward;

• Opportunities within the 7th Framework Programme of EU and the National programmes for research for the textile sector;

• Situation, content and problems of various projects on textiles funded and European and National level (case histories).
