ImpacTEX
Development of protective clothing textiles with improved impact resistance properties
The ImpacTEX project aims at incorporating materials with dilatant properties, known for their impact-absorbing performance, in fibers and yarns that can be used in the construction of textile structures and architectures with improved impact resistance, for the design of protective clothing for sporting activities.
To ensure the project success, TMG TECIDOS, INOVAFIL and POSSIBLE ANSWER have joined forces with two ENESII entities, CITEVE and CENTI, for the development of this innovative and strategic project. Although motivated by the demand of sports clothing market, namely applied to motorcycling, the solutions presented will be able to respond to requests from other sports where impact protection is essential, as well as to other markets, such as protective clothing for intervention / military forces, automotive or outdoor industry, among many others.
