Nonwoven Battery Separators Change the Safety Paradigm for Lithium Ion BatteriesBrian Morin, Dreamweaver

New thermally stable nonwoven battery separators are delivering much improved safety in lithium ion batteries. Made with components that are stable up to 500 C, they are making the separator one of the most thermally stable components in the cell, rather than the least stable. In some tests, this is completely changing the safety paradigm, moving the breakdown from the separator to the thin aluminum layer known as the cathode current collector. In this presentation, an overview of lithium batteries and separators will be given along with new data detailing the improved safety performance using nonwoven separators.

12 pm Room 208AB


1:30 pm Room 207AB

Biobased Foams: The Next Generation Structural Lightweight Materials Enticing the Automotive IndustryDr. Srikanth Pilla, Clemson University, International Center For Automotive Research

Since the global economic meltdown of 2008, which led to a crash in car sales, the automobile sector has seen a complete turnaround over the past two years, with record sales both in terms of volume and revenues. Although car sales have been escalating to new heights, introduction of more stringent CAFÉ standards and environmental regulations have challenged the revenue streams of automakers as they will be fined on not meeting the standards set forth by the EPA. This has led to new-age innovations toward both enhancing fuel efficiency through light-weighting and toward use of new, sustainable materials. This talk focuses specifically on coupling light-weighting and sustainable materials. The talk will showcase a unique perspective on light-weighting through special emphasis on structural light-weight foams processed via environmentally benign processing methods, such as supercritical fluid-assisted technology.

Navigating the EPA, Panel DiscussionModerator: Paul Matthai, U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)

This panel is designed to help textile and fabric manufacturers and importers to understand the regulations and permitting requirements to be in compliance with all applicable federal environmental regulations. Reacting to public concern over the growing problem of unchecked environment pollution cumulating though the 1960s, President Nixon signed on Dec. 2, 1970, a law to create the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or the Agency) who’s mission is to protect human health and the environment. Its mandate is to reduce pollution by writing and enforcing regulations based on laws passed by Congress. Under these laws, EPA has the authority and responsibility of maintaining and enforcing national standards in consultation with state, tribal and local governments. However, the laws authorizing EPA to regulate these environments fall under a myriad of Statutes passed by Congress. Each law is unique in its requirements and sometimes overlaps into other environmental Statutes. That is where some confusion and complication of the regulations come into play because each major environmental media are covered by a different Law.

9 am Room 207CD

Water Repellency without Fluorine–Learning from NatureCarlo Centonze, HeiQ

Durable water and oil repellency (DWR) is an 800 M USD p.a. market. Lately the fluorine technology used for DWR has come under scrutiny and ban because of PFOA/PFOS residuals. Fluorine Free technologies are the replacement of choice. This presentation aims to transmit the physical laws behind repellency and the chemical choices available to obtain it. It also introduces novel ways on how to maximize repellency performance by introducing structural elements.

9:45 am Room 207CD

New Advances in Fabric Performance: Omni-Repellency and Odor RemovalCristy Benson and Paul Sander, UltraTech International Inc.

Nanotechnology is driving disruptive and cutting-edge changes across most industries, including fabrics and textiles. This presentation will detail the latest development in superhydrophobic and oleophobic fabric treatments that set a new standard: Durable Omni Repellants (DOR vs the traditional DWRs). This nanotechnology's development was funded by the U.S. Military to make self-cleaning battlefield uniforms. This technology is now commercially available. The second nanotechnology to be discussed is a game-changing odor removal product that can be embedded into fabrics, yarns and threads. It is not an antimicrobial, so it is not limited to odors generated only by microbes. It does not kill the microbes—some may be beneficial—but it does remove the odors they create. However, one big benefit of this technology is that it removes the other odors created from things other than microbes. The technology was a 12-year effort by Kimberly Clark. Adding it into fabrics and yarns is a new direction for this technology with terrific upside to explore.

10:30 am Room 207CD

Compatibility of PurThread® Antimicrobial Textiles with Flame-Retardants, Chlorine Bleach, Peroxide, Fabric-softeners and SulfiteDavid Reed, PurThread TechnologiesFor an antimicrobial fabric to be useful, it must be compatible with commonly used finishes and treatments, especially industrial laundering, bleaches, fabric softeners, sodium sulfite, and flame retardants. We, and our industrial partners, have now demonstrated durability in the context of all of these challenges, culminating in the production of an antimicrobial flame-retardant hospital privacy curtain. After a brief overview of PurThread yarns, our presentation will describe experimental data, obtained both internally in PurThread Technologies' laboratories, and externally at third-party laboratories, showing the effects of each of these treatments and agents on the antimicrobial activity of fabrics made with PurThread yarns.

11:15 am Room 207CD

The Science of Brand IntegrityJim Krueger, International Antimicrobial CouncilBrands can have their carefully built reputations ruined overnight when consumers, or the media, find out the brand’s messaging is misleading or false. Is it acceptable to promote, for instance, moisture management or antimicrobial features if the chemistry washes out after a handful of uses? How can you be sure you’re giving your audience solid information about the features they think they’re buying? Forward-thinking managers are turning to independent, science-based resources to ensure their communication is built solidly in facts. But managers continue to express frustration with inconsistent antimicrobial test results they receive from antimicrobial laboratories. Learn about protecting your brand’s integrity using resources such as the International Antimicrobial Council’s Verification Program.

12 pm Room 208AB


1:30 pm Room 207CD

Process for Applying High Performance Conductive Coatings onto FibersDr. Derek Hass, Directed Vapor Technologies Inc.Directed Vapor Technologies (DVTI) has the capability to create well-adhered, high-quality conductive and other functional coatings onto continuous fibers. DVTI has developed a process using its patented Directed Vapor Deposition (DVD) coating technique to continuously coat a broad range of metallic and non-metallic coatings to various fiber and textile materials. The process imparts these fibers the additional functions of electrical conductivity, electromagnetic shielding, energy harvesting and energy storage. Results concerning the processing and performance of functional fibers will be discussed.
