Avantex 2005 once more turns the spotlight on the current potential of the European textile industry. It features products from around 40 exhibitors that not only underline the increasing importance of 'smart' and 'intelligent' textiles, but also emphasise how competitiveness can only be guaranteed through the interdisciplinary partnership between science and industry. The focus is on the functionalisation of fibres, filaments and textiles, as well as their combination with micro-system technology. Both contribute in large measure to product optimisation in terms of work-wear and protective clothing. Yarns that conduct electricity, innovative spacer fabrics, external membranes or textile with anti-microbial properties serve to increase functionally and provide greater comfort.
