Dry Goods: What Is Bionic Functional Fabric?

Bionic functional fabrics

Bionics is the imitation of nature, usually referring to the structure and working principle of life system.

The application of biomimetic principles to the design and development of fabrics is an innovation in the research and development of fabrics, especially in the filament weaving industry.

Thanks to the strong plasticity of chemical fiber filament, more new elements can be added in the production process, so as to obtain new functional fabrics that meet consumer demand.

Bionic functional fabric is a kind of fabric with high technology content obtained by this principle.

Water repellent antifouling self-cleaning multifunctional fabric

At present, water repellent, antifouling and self-cleaning multi-functional fabrics developed by bionic principle based on lotus leaf effect are more common.

After bionic finishing, this kind of fabric is easy to roll down, easy to be washed by water, and will not stain the surface. It does not need high temperature and too many detergents. It has the characteristics of water saving, energy saving and environmental protection. It is a kind of functional fabric with strong environmental protection.

At present, many enterprises choose to use polyester super fine denier network yarn to weave this material. The network silk fiber is small in rigidity, soft and easy to bend, big in specific surface area, strong in capillary effect, and good in holding strength.

Hollow fiber

Hollow fiber is obtained through imitation of animal fur.

When people studied the fur of animals in detail, it was found that there was a cavity in the hair of the animal. Its shape resembles that of the hollow tube, so the effect of keeping warm is very good.

Inspired by this, people began to try to make hollow fibers.

In recent years, the types of hollow polyester fibers have been increasing and their applications are expanding.

Such as hollow polyester FDY filament made of fabrics, mainly used in outdoor sportswear, casual wear and jacket production, has good thermal insulation, fluffy and soft, plus fiber shaped section, the fabric moisture absorption breathability is excellent.

Another type of antibacterial hollow polyester staple fiber is also a common wool like differential fiber.

The fabric made of this kind of fabric has good resilience, fluffiness and warmth retention. It also has antibacterial, deodorizing and other properties. It has certain health care effect on the human body.

Chameleon fabric

The chameleon skin emergency system was born.

Based on the principle of bionics, a photochromic fiber which can automatically change color has been developed by relevant organizations. The fiber is very sensitive to light and humidity, and can change with the change of temperature and humidity in the environment.

After changing the color of the nano photochromic agent on line, the color changing fiber can change the color with the change of the light and color of the surrounding environment. Besides, it can also show different colors with the increase of temperature.

Fashions made of color changing fabrics are loved by young people who are fashionable and individualized.

At the same time in the army

It is also widely used. Soldiers wearing "discolored uniforms" can play a good role in camouflage in actual combat.

The bionics principle is applied to the research and development of fabrics and production.

The development of an innovation, with the continuous development of science and technology, more advanced technology will be applied to the textile industry in the future, and the textile industry will also stride forward to the textile power with more high-tech.
