textilmaterial
Textilmaterial refers to the materials used to produce textiles, including natural fibers, synthetic fibers, filaments, yarns, fabrics, nonwoven materials, and composite textiles. They are the input of the textile value chain, determining performance, feel, appearance, and durability.
Natural fibers include cotton, wool, silk, linen, and hemp. They originate from plants or animals, offer comfort
Regenerated fibers such as viscose and lyocell, and synthetic fibers such as polyester, nylon, and acrylic,
Fibers are spun into yarns, which are woven, knitted, or transformed into nonwovens to form fabrics. Filaments
Key properties include mechanical strength, elongation, abrasion resistance, thermal conductivity, moisture regain, dyeability, and chemical resistance.
Textilmaterial underpins clothing, home textiles, and technical textiles used in automotive, construction, medical devices, geotextiles, filtration,
Sustainability considerations include resource use, environmental impact of dyeing and finishing, microplastics from synthetic fibers, and
Characterization relies on metrics such as fiber diameter, tenacity, elongation at break, moisture regain, and standard
