Popis: To use wool successfully in technical applications requires a high-value application that can exploit its natural properties, a reduction in costs, or modifying the fibre to achieve a particular target performance. Wool is increasingly being used in technical applications in which its unique properties and the opportunities for specific enhancements can be profitably utilised. This paper examines wool's attributes for technical textiles and introduces a wide range of new and future applications, with particular reference to developments emerging from wool-based projects at Canesis Network Ltd.
