The Performance and Development Trends of Low-Carbon Textile Materials

Abstract:

The impact of the deteriorating environmental issues on human survival and constraints on social development promotes awakening of environmental awareness, while the expanding of low-carbon consumption market and low-carbon technology revolution triggered by low-carbon economy model, has established a new direction for the garment industry, that is, low-carbon fashion. In order to comply with the objectives of environmental sustainable development, exploiting environmental and low-carbon textile materials has become one of the trends for textiles in 21st century. Regarding carbon materials as the core, this paper firstly discusses the concept and research significance of low-carbon materials, then enumerates several new low-carbon textile materials’ performance and applications: hemp fiber, colored cotton fabric, bamboo fiber, chitin fiber, etc. Through these listed above, it indicates the trend for low-carbon textile materials.
