Functional textiles are textiles with integrated functions of controlling or adjusting according to its application area. Functions such as temperature control, humidity control etc. are such functions which are in build upon manufacturing. The basic and mostly used fibers in the functional textiles are viscose (rayon) and polyester fibers. Besides this, the demand for such functional textiles is majorly for the active and performance type of wear. he aerothermal technology , which protects from extreme hot and cold condition is growing in functional textiles.
The brand Peak Performance (ski wear) of IC Group A/S, Adidas offers such thermal insulation technology functional textiles. Energear technology of Schoeller Technologies AG receives the energy exerted by the body through far infrared rays, is also a type functional textile. Vast development in the polymer (fiber) industry, coating and finishing industries also contributes in the global functional textiles market.
