High-performance fabrics and textiles are used where technical strength and durability performances of the textile products are critical.
The high-performance textiles and yarns are manufactured using the high technology fibres including para-aramid, meta-aramid, fire resistant rayon, glass fibre, pre-oxidised acrylic, and the brands Kevlar, Twaron, Panox, Nomex, Conex, Basofil, Kynol, Dyneema and Spectra.
Application of Nanotechnology for High Performance Textiles – this paper summarises the recent development in the use of nanotechnology in textile areas including textile formation and finishing. Key words: Nanotechnology, nanosize fillers, nano-size structures, nanoparticles, cellular structures. Full paper here (PDF)
High-Performance Textile Bonding - Bonding to high-performance textiles is a very challenging technical problem. High-performance textiles, such as aramid and polyester, have little-to-no chemical bonding sites available. And yet, many commercial products use high-performance bonded-fiber composites.

Examples of High Performance Textile Products
Flame resistant textiles Fire blankets Aluminised fabrics
Applications of High Performance Textiles
Protective clothing Transport seating Seals and packings Electrolysers and Composite reinforcements. Thermal protection Anti friction Extreme conditions Conveyor Belting Flexible Bellows and Connectors Expansion Joints and Seals Hose and Pipe Insulation Oven Door Seals, Flanges and Gaskets Flame cutting, Smoke and Fire curtains Flame cutting, Welding and Fire blankets Thermal Protection for Engine, Machine and other equipment Insulation Mattresses Hot face Inner & Outer face Weathering and corrosive liquid protection Electrical Insulation Reinforced textiles provide the ideal base material for the manufacture of high performance friction products to be used in brake linings and clutch facing applications.
Books & Guides
Extreme Textiles: Designing for High Performance - by Matilda McQuaid; Publisher: Princeton Architectural Press - Book Description - Stronger, faster, lighter, safer, smarter — these are the textiles of tomorrow. From the carbon-fiber composite bicycle frame to the cardiac constraint sock and the Mars Pathfinder landing airbags, material innovations surround us. Our landscape, our buildings, our vehicles, our clothes, and our bodies all benefit from these highly engineered performance textiles. Featuring examples of fully realized products from all classes of technical textiles—architectural, product design, apparel, medicine, transportation, aerospace, industry, and the environment—Extreme Textiles highlights successful collaborations between design, industry, and science. Large, full-color illustrations and essays by some of today's most influential designers and scientists trace the extraordinary developments made in textiles over the last twenty years and suggest what is to come.
