Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)
'The idea that constitutes the basis of the proposed project is to address the main issues that currently limit the wide acceptance of protective garments, i.e. protection against multiple hazards, extension of the life-cycle of protective garments, physiological comfort and mechanical parameters. Overall, the proposed research activities aim at addressing the complex risky conditions met in various types of emergency operations, e.g. during accidents involving the threat of chemicals, extreme weather conditions (flood, wind storms, hail etc), small scale fires, or combinations of those. The manufacture of three prototypes is provisioned. In order to achieve these objectives, progress beyond the state of the art is required in a variety of fields. In fact, the project is highly multidisciplinary and requires developments in diverse areas such as polymers science and technology, polymers processing, new additive masterbatches development and fiber spinning, nanotechnology, plasma technology, sol-gel technology, smart thermoregulating materials, microencapsulation, ergonomic garment design, etc. The major innovations regard, but are not limited to, the development and application of specific functionalizing materials, capable of providing multiple protective functions. More specifically, the main materials to be examined include layered silicates, carbon nanotubes, alkoxysilane primers, chromic materials, antimicrobial microspheres, etc.'
Introduzione (Teaser)
An EU-funded project has developed and tested multi-functional textiles for use in the protective garments of emergency personnel.
Descrizione progetto (Article)
For people working in emergency response situations, protective clothing is of paramount importance. However, these garments are currently bulky, uncomfortable and lose their functional properties (such as flame retardancy or breathability) with repeated use.
The 'High-protective clothing for complex emergency operations' (http://www.safeprotex.org (SAFEPROTEX)) project was established to research and test multi-functional materials for protective garments. The overall aim was to develop textiles that could protect wearers against multiple hazards without sacrificing comfort or garment longevity.
Researchers developed a number of nanotechnology-based enhancements for textiles, including thermo-regulating fibres, colour-based temperature alert patches and 3D-knitted insulating materials. Another major breakthrough was a surface treatment to improve the hydrophobicity (water-repelling), self-cleaning ability and antimicrobial properties of the fabrics.
Three prototype garments using these multi-functional textiles were produced: an extreme weather outfit, a wildfire outfit and an outfit for first response medical personnel. All three prototypes performed well and were highly rated by users in a laboratory, as well as in real-life testing.
Based on these positive results, SAFEPROTEX will develop commercial applications for the textiles. These advances are expected to result in decreased casualties and lower operating costs in the field of emergency response and rescue operations.
