Top notch speakers will look at ‘what’s next’ in engineered materials from graphene and nanofibres to intelligent fabrics and wearable electronics at INDA’s Research, Innovation & Science for Engineered Fabrics Conference (RISE) and Nanofibers for the Third Millennium (N3M).

INDA, the Association of the Nonwoven Fabrics Industry, announced the final programme for the conference which runs February 9-12, 2015 in Miami with the full lineup of speakers, special events, networking opportunities, tabletop exhibitors, and RISE Durable Product Award finalists.

Among sessions will be presentations on methods being used to make graphene commercially economical that will be vital for manufacturers of nonwoven substrates and material suppliers. Graphene is a revolutionary, transforming technology that could significantly impact nonwovens.

Other RISE sessions include presentations on market opportunities in the explosive $14 billion textile/stretchable wearable electronics market, materials for soft and wearable robotics, ecological textile finishing, and ceramic and metallic materials.

Delegates will also learn what Western companies need to know about intellectual property rights and innovation in China to protect ideas here and abroad.

INDA says RISE is the only conference that looks ahead of the technology curve and features top researchers, scientists, academia and thought leaders from around the world speaking on the latest advanced materials, processes, and technology.

It will bring together today’s most prescient leaders in materials research and innovative science as applied to engineered fabrics to share discoveries and developments that could impact the use of nonwovens in medical, energy, transportation, hygiene, filtration, and other markets.

The N3M symposium to be held on February 12 will highlight major nanofibre application areas and manufacturing processes, including air/liquid filtration, life sciences in wound care and tissue scaffolding and energy storage in fuel cells and battery separators. (AR)
