Zephlinear Fabric Could Lead to Smart Clothing

Oct-03-16 The first non-woven material made from yarn, the Zephlinear ‘space cloth’ could usher in a new generation of clothing.

Developed by PhD student Sonia Reynolds of Nottingham Trent University, the Zephlinear cloth is made by “yarn surface entanglement” rather than weaving. This new process results in the yarn being laid out in linear channels, which makes the fabric ideal for use in smart clothing, as well as for topical medication or aroma delivery. As a bonus, the Zephlinear cloth is also less expensive to manufacture.
