The nature and capabilities of textiles is changing rapidly, driven by new technologies and the demand for sustainability. New textile innovations are happening that a few years ago were not even envisioned. Current textile research is already requiring an array of scientists and engineers, who never thought of being involved with textiles, and new research is going into areas that sound more like science fiction.
