'Techno Textile' producers/manufacturers

Information taken from
The Future Of Fabics and Fibres Sarah E. Braddock Clarke, (2005)
in Braddock Clarke, Sarah E. and O'Mahony, Marie. (2005),   Techno Textiles: revolutionary fabrics for fashion and design, Thames&Hudson.

- Nuno Corporation- Japan
- Dupont- leading worldwide manufacturers of polyamide fibre
- Schoeller
- Outlast
- Nylstar
- Akzo Nobel
- Meadowbrook Inventions Inc
- Courtaulds- company sold to Hong Kong firm, developers of tencel/lyocell 



Need to investigate also companies such as
- Goretex
- Rab
- Spartan
- SKINS
- Speedo
- Karrimor

There will be many more possibilities.

Ideally I would be able to glean a direct insight into the practice of one of these companies, so I will contact each of them.
The type of fabrics produced by these companies are the types of fabrics I will require for my garment prototype. I will need to acquire and experiment with a range of these fabrics.

More information to follow after I look into each of these websites.
