From participating in seminars, hosting conferences and launching something new to issues of power conservation... there’s a lot going on in and around Resil. Keeping a track of these industry-related events, Resil brings you a consolidated calendar of events:

Generate new ideas, says Maran

The increasing demand for subsidies and incentives has led textile minister, Dayanidhi Maran, to exhort the industry to come up with newer and better ideas to generate revenue. Speaking at a recent seminar organised by the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), the minister asked the industry to explore new export markets. He also urged them to reduce dependency on the US and EU markets as they tended to rise and fall at the same time and could prove to be risky for the exporters.

A new policy

Textile minister, Dayanidhi Maran has said that the National Fibre Policy (NFP) will be announced early in the next financial year. The NFP was earlier scheduled for release in December 2009.

The much-awaited policy is expected to restore the competitiveness of the textile industry. It is also expected to balance the consumption ratio between man-made fibres and cotton.

There's great news in fabrics!

Functional fabrics go the next step. Bayer MaterialScience has announced that aqueous suspensions of its Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) can now be produced using single tubes. These Baytube CNTs show high electrical and thermal conductivity. This is the result of a combination of two new dispersion technologies.

What's more, this fabric has a proven track record too! A multifilament yarn coated with such CNT dispersions, woven as fabric heater, has already performed well. It has successfully prevented the water in water storage tanks of Japan's JR Hokkaido 'Ryuhyo-Norokko' train from freezing!

Multifilament yarns coated with aqueous suspensions of single-tube CNTs offer interesting prospect for novel applications which depend on high electrical or thermal conductivity. Such fabric heaters, made by weaving CNTEC conductive yarns, generate heat homogeneously all over the surface. It can be used for car seats, household electrical appliances, heating clothes and as an anti-freezing material. The best news of all is that these fabrics are lightweight, thin and compact and show a long-lasting bending resistance.
