Nonwovens and Electronics
|
 One of these days, someone is going to invent a unique and practical way to integrate nonwovens and electronics. When they do, they will make a ton of money. Some research facilities are actively attempting to find that great discovery. I found an interesting article related to electronics in textiles. You can read the article here. While the article itself is interesting, what caught my attention is the long list of organizations participating in this endeavor. I had no idea most of these organizations existed. You may want to read the article and follow up on these organizations to see what they do. Here is an interesting video about IMECOne of the partners of IMEC is the Saxon Textile Research Institute.

Definition Of the Week - Derived Weight
|
 There are several methods for monitoring the basis weight of the fabric being produced on a nonwoven machine. One is to take samples and weigh them. A second method is to have sophisticated gauges that can continuously monitor the weight, and another way is to weight a finished roll of material and calculate the derived weight. This week's definition deals with the last method. Do your employees know what the term derived weight means?
