Austria Companies Use Clothing Fibers As Communication Antennas.

Seib J Dov, Austria R & D company textile The new type of communication function is effective. They use the special conduction of fibers in the fabric to attach the antenna, thus opening up a new market for technical textiles. As a result, near field phones can interact with fashion, work clothes and lots of new fabrics.

The company's laboratory and the Austria Institute of technology jointly released the new near field. Communications technology In the latest details, they can complete special combination installation in the process of producing textiles. Stefan Cecil, the company's scientist, told the near field communication technology media that fabrics need to use standard near field communication technology. The principle is through contact RFID technology, which is made up of special fiber lines for connecting antennas. This antenna is integrated into the fabric production process, that is, weave into the fabric. Although near field communication chips need to be manually connected, Austria Scientists expect this link to be automated in the future.

The textile fiber communication technology developed by the company can be applied to any fabric and can store information on fabrics. " It also has potential uses, that is, to store information on finished clothing related to fabrics. This fabric accessory can also be linked to the manufacturer's website. It can even be promoted by special means.

The fashion industry is an ancient industry. But if we can add new technologies to our youth, the potential market can not be underestimated, especially the professional market. Scientists believe that with fabric fiber near-field communication technology, we can promote the development of other industries such as medical care. This type of communication plays a unique role in caring for or caring for patients, especially in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.

The development of new communication textile fibers needs to overcome two problems. One is whether it will cause too close to the human body. Of course, it does not exist at present. The second is how to design an appendage so that it can be read, because the clothing worn by the human body can be bent, and some gadgets that must be attached to clothes need to be considered separately. They should be flexible, comfortable and practical, and they must be able to withstand cleaning and ironing. The researchers put the small equipment in the washing machine (60 degrees) for washing test, dehydration test and ironing test. After that, they found that although a series of tests failed, they could not affect any communication function of textiles. The company also carried out other extensive tests. They found that these devices affected the communication distance after bending, but they could be changed.

The company has emphasized that the next step is to further test how to make this communication garment more in line with human needs. The technology will be exclusively licensed to specific customer applications or authorized to different application domains of many non professional customers, so as to further plan how to conduct in-depth and extensive research and development based on individual contracts and interested companies.
