Where will textiles go in the future? Delegates from 12 countries discuss new directions for development

"Breaking the border, everything can be woven!" What is the future development prospect of textile science and technology? What disruptive changes will the transformation and innovation of world textile technology bring to the textile discipline and industry?

From December 1st to 4th, the first "2022 International Conference on Textile Frontier Science and Technology and the Annual Conference of the World Textile University Alliance" was held at Donghua University, and more than 110 keynote reports involving more than 60 units from 12 countries were successfully conducted. Focusing on the forefront and key issues of the entire textile discipline chain, such as modern textile processing technology, intelligent textiles, biomedical textiles, ecological textiles, and textile equipment, well-known experts from the world's textile and related fields gather in the cloud to contribute their intellectual strength to the prosperity and development of the global textile technology and education industry.

"Promising Future" of Textile Frontier Technology

The convening of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China has provided key ideas for the development of the textile discipline and industry. As a leader in the world textile industry, China has always adhered to the principle of self-reliance and self-reliance through science and technology to demonstrate its responsibility. Textiles have the ideal characteristics to meet the growing needs of the people for a better life, spanning 12 scales ranging from nanometers to kilometers. Traditional textiles have undergone a "major transformation", riding the "technology carriage", and are rapidly penetrating the fields of biomedicine, brain computer interface, aerospace, energy management, intelligent wearable, and other fields. Academicians and experts from the Canadian Academy of Engineering, the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences, the Japanese Academy of Engineering, the American Academy of Sciences, and other institutions have put forward "sharp" views, colliding with innovative sparks, and providing suggestions for "promising" cutting-edge textile technology.
