TEXINTEL TALKS - EPISODE 039 - BIOMATERIALS AND THE TEXTILES OF THE FUTURE - SAMIT CHEVLI - DUPONT
Written By Debbie Mckeegan
The fibres of the future must be reinvented to deliver environmental protection and a solution to the unsustainable use of fabrics that serve to contaminate our planet and destroy our habitat.
Material science must be reimagined. Dupont’s Bio-materials team are focused on providing solutions to the industry’s most pressing issues. In our most recent podcast we talked to Samit Chevli – an accomplished chemist and industry expert. Samit began his career in digital textile printing, developing the Dupont Artistri inks (amongst other innovations) and has five patents for his accomplishments so far. He is now concentrating his skills on the development of biomaterials for Dupont.
It’s these innovations that will transform the fibres of the past to offer sustainable solutions for the present and future development of the worlds textile industry.
One such fibre which today celebrates its 20th Anniversary is Sorona – which has been reengineered to be a bio-based polymer.
