Advanced Fiber Composites in Textiles: Enhancing Material Selection with Ashby Charts

Session

Integrated Design

Description

Composite materials, especially advanced fibers like aramid (e.g., Kevlar, Nomex) and carbon fibers have revolutionized textiles through improved material science and manufacturing. Aramid fibers offer exceptional strength, heat resistance, and chemical resilience, crucial in protective gear and industrial fabrics. Similarly, carbon fibers, known for their high strength-toweight ratio, thermal stability, and versatility, have transformed aerospace, automotive, and highperformance textile sectors. This research employs Ashby Charts for comparative analysis, guiding material selection in textile design based on properties such as strength and thermal stability. Despite challenges in cost and scalability, ongoing research aims to enhance raw materials and manufacturing processes through industry-academia collaborations. With future advancements and increasing demand for sustainable materials, composite fibers are poised to establish new industry standards, enhancing durability and promoting environmental responsibility worldwide.
