Textile Application: From Need to Imagination

To understand textiles and their application today, as well as future applications, it is necessary to comprehend the development of textiles and their applications throughout history. First real textile materials date far back in history around 6500 BC, and they were related to the application for clothing. The gradual development of spinning and weaving techniques, looms, and the use of different materials influenced the development and application of materials themselves. During the industrial revolution, fabric production was mechanized and shifted from small cottage- based production to mass production based on assembly line organization. Numerous innovations were made during the industrial revolution that had a significant impact on the further textile development and its application. All these events in technology development and international competition have shaped the industry and continue to affect the textile production even today. Nowadays, textiles can be divided into two main sectors according to their application: conventional textiles (textiles for fashion clothing) and technical textiles with numerous applications for nearly all society needs such as health, living, mobility, production, environment, energy, etc. Due to market needs and technology development, the interference of all areas of science occurs, resulting in amazing innovations that follow existing trends and set future trends in terms of interactivity, digital and electronic functionality, social and environmental awareness, esthetics, etc. These are the reasons for great freedom, development prospects, and expression of creativity, and thus of innovativeness. The need for them today is greater and more important than ever before in the history of textiles and their application.
