New issue of WSA available now

The latest issue of WSA is now available on the website in digital form. 

In this issue, we have technical articles that look closely at e-textiles, at alternative raw materials for cellulosic fibres and at breakthrough ideas in fibre traceability.

Footwear features examine the use of graphene in running shoes and the universal design appeal of the sneaker.

Other articles celebrate a Green New Deal in South Korea, Polartec’s thirtieth anniversary, and the launch of fabric-focused running and compression clothing brand Pressio. We talk in depth to Lenzing about its reaction to a report that flags up the role of fossil fuel-based fibres in apparel’s carbon footprint, and to Dr Vikram Gopal of Ascend Performance Materials about the better use we might have made of textiles in the battle against covid-19.
