Nano Fiber Innovations By Csiro And Dmtc
Share Post
Scientists at CSIRO have created a test version of a uniform using tiny fibres called nanofibres. This new uniform is designed to give better protection against dangerous chemicals and germs for Australian soldiers and emergency workers. Early tests show that this light material can effectively block harmful particles. At the same time, it stays light and allows air to pass through, which will help people working in very hot or cold conditions.
Dr. Marcus Zipper, the head of Manufacturing at CSIRO, stated that their nanofibre technology could significantly enhance the safety offered by soldiers' uniforms. He also pointed out that this technology isn't limited to military use and could be valuable for protecting emergency responders and hazardous materials teams as well.
This new textile innovation wasn't created by CSIRO alone. It's the result of teamwork with several important groups. These include the Department of Defence, Bruck Textiles, the Defence Science and Technology Group (DSTG), RMIT University, and DMTC (which used to be called the Defence Materials Technology Centre). DMTC played a key role in bringing everyone together to successfully develop the test uniform.
Deepak Ganga, who leads program management at DMTC, noted that CSIRO's outstanding work in nanofibre research has been perfectly complemented by the knowledge and skills of their partners in the textile industry, defence science, and manufacturing.
