Industrial, Transport/​Aerospace, Medical/Hygiene, Interiors

The event will once again bring together senior managerial, technical and marketing staff from nonwovens manufacturers, suppliers to the industry, converters/finishers, product designers and processors, application sector OEMS, researchers and end-users to discuss progress and possibilities.

The core of the programme will be presentations by invited industry leaders, but in order to give an opportunity for anyone with exciting and relevant ideas to present to the high-level international audience, organisers are also seeking papers relating to high-performance applications for nonwovens, especially those that are commercial or near-commercial, such as:

  • The substitution of nonwovens for existing engineering materials in order to create lightweight products of similar or even higher performance (for instance, in transportation and construction);
  • Filtration (air, liquid and gas), including the integration of nanofibre webs with filter media;
  • Uses of recycled and recovered carbon fibre, and natural fibres to make nonwovens;
  • Uses in the storage and generation of energy;
  • Advanced medical materials and implantable nonwovens;
  • Smart fabrics and patches;
  • Substrates for digital printing and signage.
