Everyone knows that textiles can protect. Bullet proof fabric in vests and other garments can help save the lives of law enforcement officers, while fire resistant textiles are used in the gear worn by firefighters who run into burning buildings.
However, what if textiles could not only protect, but also help someone heal? For instance, imagine a fiber that can be loaded with drugs and implanted in the body to encourage the healing process. Or consider a fabric that has the ability to monitor a patient’s heart rate and alert medical professionals if there are any problems. -
