Technical Textiles

Our conductive materials are essential for the development of smart textiles. They allow for seamless integration of sensors, heating elements, and conductive yarns into textile structures without affecting the comfort or flexibility of the fabric. This makes them ideal for electronic textiles and innovative wearable technologies. In addition, conductive textiles can be used in medical applications—for example, in sensors embedded in assistive systems. These so-called ambient assisted living systems can detect falls in time and monitor patients' lying positions.
