Modern Textile Fibers Can Filter Ebola Virus

　　 yesterday Sponsored by the British textile institute, the eighty-ninth world textile conference hosted by Wuhan Textile University held in Optics Valley, Wuhan, for 4 days. 7 top experts in the textile industry, who are well known for the world, together with more than 260 textile industry and academic experts from more than 20 countries and regions around the world, discussed the theme of "Textile Innovation from fiber to clothing".

Hubei is a major cotton growing province and an important base for garment production and processing nationwide. At the same time, Hubei has the only university and research team named "textile" in the country to do technical support. However, some clothes owners in Hanzheng Street also need to buy clothes and accessories from Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, which is also an undisputed fact.

The world textile conference, known as the "textile industry Olympic Games", was held in Jiangcheng. The top experts of the global textile industry gathered in Wuhan to jointly take the pulse of future industry development, and whether it could regain glory for Hubei's textile industry.

　 Feel the pulse

China's textile industry is slowing down intelligent production or a way out.

Yesterday, the world textile Congress, known as the "textile industry Olympics", held its eighty-ninth session in Han Dynasty. This is the second time that the conference has been held in China for the first time in Wuhan. The world textile conference was established in 1910, and was registered in England by the Royal Charter in 1925. It is the longest history, the most extensive participation and the most involved industrial chain in the world textile industry.

Helen, chairman of the British textile institute, said yesterday that the development of Wuhan's textile industry has a glorious history. The research level of Wuhan Textile University in textile materials is closely following the international leading level. It is possible for such a conference to be held. "This is a correct choice, and we also want to promote the development of the textile industry in this area through this choice," D said. "This is the right choice for the development of Wuhan's textile industry."

Experts and scholars attending the meeting yesterday said that the slowdown in China's textile industry is the only way to go due to the gradual disappearance of demographic dividends, diminishing returns on investment and inadequate labor relations.

Experts at the conference suggested that the textile market should be transformed from China made into "smart" made in China. Some experts take this pulse: intelligent production. It believes that China has the world's largest manufacturing base and machinery and equipment market. These devices will continuously generate massive amounts of data. Breaking these big data is the key to China's competitiveness in the new round of manufacturing revolution.

Sun Ruizhe, vice chairman of the China Federation of textile industry and chairman of the China Textile Engineering Society, also mentioned the concept of intelligent production in his report. He said that developing intelligent production and liberating traditional production mode relying on manual operation, reducing labor costs and improving product quality and management level is the way out for the future.

Zhang Shangyong, Secretary of the Wuhan Textile University Textile College, for example, said that the scale of spinning production in the past ten thousand spindles required 280 people. After the production of intelligent equipment, the employment reduced to 15 people. In the future, only one person can operate a computer to complete the same scale production.

　 Frontiers

The latest fiber made of filter hood can filter Ebola virus.

With the development of the pulse industry, delegates attending the conference are paying more attention to the most advanced textile technology in the world. During the conference, 7 professors of the textile industry, including Professor Ron Postle, Professor of textile physics, University of Wales, Professor Yu Jianyong, Professor of Chinese Academy of engineering, Gordon Wallace of intelligent polymer materials center, and other top leaders of the global textile industry, were present to share their academic achievements in the forefront of the textile industry.

"It can be said that nanofibers have been able to achieve mass production and application." Wang Xun, chairman of the Textile Conference and professor of Deakin University, Australia, said in an interview with reporters, "the latest batch of fiber products we have developed in the laboratory are finer than nanoscale."

For the latest technological development of textile fiber finer degree, Wang training suggests that the current mad Ebola virus makes people afraid, and the latest textile fiber products are even smaller than the virus body. "The size of the virus is generally in micron scale, and the finer fiber has finished products. In theory, the filter cover made of the latest textile fiber is 100% able to resist the filtration of virus." Wang Xun should say.

Why do not a textile processing manufacturer make products? For this, Wang said that textile fiber products are widely used in medical and biopharmaceutical fields besides textile materials. If only filter material is used, it is not as thin as possible. "To consider the need for human body to breathe freely, if we only filter PM2.5, a lot of materials on the market can be achieved." Wang Xun should make fun of it.

　 　 Prospect

Smart clothing releases gas to ease wearer's mood

Around the theme of the conference "Textile Innovation from fiber to clothing", many experts and scholars demonstrated their innovative achievements in the field of clothing at the conference yesterday, among which intelligent clothing was repeatedly mentioned by experts and scholars.

"The so-called smart clothing is that clothes have the function of induction, and the relative changes of function appear according to the changes of wearer's thoughts." Zhang Shangyong, Party Secretary of Textile College of Wuhan Textile University, said. In his view, intelligent clothing should be able to start cold or heat dissipation functions according to the change of weather. It can keep warm when cooling or blowing strong wind. It is hot, breathable and sweating. It can also adjust colors to prevent radiation according to the intensity of ultraviolet radiation.

This concept has become part of the sample in the laboratory. "Integrating electronic products into clothing, the future garments can be turned into a wearable computer. science and technology High content and high added value. But traditional textile technology can not break through the problem of washing and comfortable wearing after electronic devices. Zhang Ruquan, an associate professor at Wuhan Textile University, said that he could avoid the inconvenience caused by metal sensors by using plant fibers as sensing and sensing devices in smart clothing.

Zhang Ruquan said that the current most advanced smart clothing in the world is mainly related to the related functions of entertainment, guardianship, athletics, military industry and other major fields. "For example, entertainment, clothes become MP3, cell phone charging has been realized, and clothes can also be used for real-time monitoring of blood pressure, pulse, heart rate and other physiological indicators. In the sensor set up, in the future, you will make corresponding functional adjustment according to your mood.

For example, he said, clothes will release some particular gas or play music according to the immediate mood of the wearer, so as to relieve the wearer's mood. "Because smart clothes really need to be distributed offline in a number of fields, the technology will make people feel the real" intimate cotton padded jacket ". It is understood that Zhang and his team have developed clothes that measure the body's compression value from the surface of plant fibers, representing the world's advanced level in the development of competitive intelligent clothing.
