DESCRIPTION:René Rossi (Empa)\, Fabien Sorin (EPFL)\, Alexander Schaetz (
 Syngenta) and Siegfried Winkelbeiner (Schoeller)\nFibers and textiles are 
 the only materials perennially in constant contact with our bodies. With t
 he Internet of Things\, clothes have become intelligent materials able to 
 support the wearer\, for instance as devices for medical assistance. Throu
 gh consortia involving the major textile companies in Switzerland and acad
 emic research sponsored by the CCMX\, new insights into fiber science are 
 leading to the development of advanced technologies that allow wearable te
 xtiles to sense\, monitor and respond to physiological or environmental ch
 anges.\n\nOver the course of this Technology Apéro\, the scientists leadi
 ng the CCMX project\, René Rossi and Fabien Sorin\, will present novel fi
 ber technologies based on electrospinning and thermal drawing\, for on dem
 and drug delivery and monitoring of specific metabolites. Moreover\, Schoe
 ller and Syngenta will present R&D developments\, giving us an insight int
 o the future of commercial textiles.\n\nThis event will be a perfect oppor
 tunity for you to discuss with industrial leaders and academics at the for
 efront of fiber research and development. The informal aperitif\, offered 
 after the talks\, is an occasion to meet the speakers and explore opportun
 ities for collaboration. Please join us!\n
