Nylon Innovation:
New fusion of fiber advantages ? ??
Talking about the overall performance of nylon products, Chen Baojian, chief engineer of the national textile product development center, said that the innovation of nylon fabrics in this competition is mainly reflected in three aspects: first, through the innovation of spinning technology, the fine denier high f-number fiber is developed, which is used for high needle and high-density knitted fabric, and the handle is more delicate and soft; The second is that the addition of nylon enhances the comfort experience of fashionable fancy fabrics, such as hollowed out wool lace and faint luster gold and silver silk fabrics, which are both fashionable and comfortable due to the adjustment of nylon content and organizational structure; Third, the basic fabric in nylon itself on the basis of all the comfort of the composite more functions, such as antibacterial, skin friendly, far-infrared and other functional composite.
At the meeting, Li Xiaofei, deputy editor in chief of "prospect of textile and clothing trends", analyzed the "2022 / 2023 autumn and winter Chinese textile fabric fashion trend" published by China Textile Information Center and national textile product development center, and interpreted the lifestyle, consumer market, consumption market, consumption market and consumption market of the four themes of "reflection", "Narration", "mirror image" and "contact" under the concept of "awareness" The change and trend of product development. She said that nylon works are fashionable and pay special attention to functional innovation. Most enterprises are beginning to make efforts on sustainable fabrics, and the application of recyclable fibers shows an explosive trend. Healing fabrics are reflected in color, touch and functionality, and more emphasis is placed on market application.
?“ From this competition, each brand can choose the right fabric as the material for future product development. " Liu Jianyu, CO director of R & D of Amoy Co., Ltd., said that on the whole, many new technologies were integrated into the fabrics, and the application of environmental friendly fibers, environmental friendly dyes and chemicals, and ecological dyeing and finishing technologies were all reflected. In the innovative application of nylon products, we can see that the function of nylon is constantly improving. The blending and interweaving use of nylon and other fibers greatly enrich the style and function of nylon products.
Liu Rui, R & D Manager of Li Ning (China) Sporting Goods Co., Ltd., said that nylon products are widely used in knitting and weaving fields. In this competition, many participating works have carried on the innovation to the traditional textile raw material material. Through the differentiated development of enterprises, a unique popular trend has been formed, which gives consumers a feeling different from chemical fiber products in appearance and feel, and also provides more choices for consumers. For brands, in addition to ensuring the basic core, diversified visual expression of fashion appearance will become an important factor to impress consumers.
Ma Chongqi, director and professor of the Department of textile engineering, School of textile science and engineering, Tianjin University of technology, pointed out that from the perspective of advanced technology, designers pay more attention to the application of various new fibers, and the new fibers well known in the market are reflected in the entries. Nylon products are rich in application in technology, weaving, dyeing and finishing, but efforts should be made to integrate fabric weave design with color pattern design, that is, the combination of "work" and "art". At the same time, enterprises need to pay attention to overcome the soft characteristics of polyamide fiber itself, and make complementary advantages with a variety of fiber blending, so as to broaden the application field of polyamide fiber, and comprehensively utilize multi-component and multi fiber.
"Brand designers pay more attention to the market practicability of fabrics in terms of color, material, scene application and price." According to Nian Chunqiao, R & D director of red collar brand of Qingdao Kute intelligent Co., Ltd., chemical fiber, synthetic fiber or multi-component fiber are more and more widely used in fabrics and clothing due to the advantages of natural fiber in terms of elasticity, moisture absorption and perspiration“ This year's competition of nylon products has a lot of overlap with our brand application. For example, about 70% of nylon and 20% - 30% of spandex blended fabric can be used in jacket, Outerwear, Bianxi or Danxi fields. In the future, nylon will not only be used in the field of leisure products, but also develop into the field of business leisure. "
Yan Ming, the design director of Shanghai Mingyan Garment Co., Ltd., said that we can see the R & D attitude of enterprises in product innovation based on market demand and fashion trend from the fabrics participating in the evaluation. He believes that enterprises can be bolder in product innovation, younger in design, focus on changes in consumer market demand, and make layout in advance“ What attracted me most in this competition was the breakthrough and innovation of fabric functionality and fabric organization design, such as moisture absorption and perspiration, warmth retention, windproof and waterproof functions, which were very close to the current sports trend. " He said that fabric manufacturers and the end market need more communication and purposeful innovation. At the same time, in the innovative application of nylon and other functional fibers, the industry needs to give enterprises more guidance.
"There is a nylon and wool blended fabric, compared with pure fiber fabric, soft and comfortable, good air permeability, good three-dimensional effect." Yang Shengan, senior engineer of Fujian Yongrong Jinjiang Co., Ltd., said that the innovative application performance of nylon products in this competition was outstanding, and the fabrics blended with nylon, cotton and modal were commendable in quality. He said that nylon and other fibers complement each other, giving the fabric a comfortable touch, more functionality and higher added value. About 30% - 40% of the fabrics in the nylon product exhibition area have strong texture sense and good three-dimensional effect. Even flat cloth, also used digital printing and other new technology, color more bright and full. In the fabric fashion trend, lace printing and digital positioning printing are used more, and the combination of color and pattern is more popular than before.
