Future Fibers

Future Fibers

This article is about fiber, the texture of the fabrics makes weatherproof clothing, bed sheets, and upholstery. To this day clothes are getting more high tech. As for example the companies make clothes such as light weight fleece jackets.

Studying the Tiniest Fibers
Studying the tiniest fiber will lead you to study the chemicals that make up the fiber. Wendy Krause is a professor at North Carolina State University’s College of Textiles. She has been working on studying on a thin molecule that are called polymers. ”They’re shaped a lot like spaghetti” Wendy explains. The tiniest fiber that is out there that Wendy discovered are called nanofibers. This fiber is ten times smaller than a human hair.

Building Better Textiles
Chunk Haryslak is a textile at Polartec in Lawrence. He helps his workers repair sewage pipes without digging them out. “You have a hole, and you don’t want to replace the whole pipe”, he says “you can put something in there that can create a tube and then harden.” He also works on the fabric that goes on your clothes.

Space-Age Fabrics
Thad Fredrickson at ILC Dover in Frederica, Del works in an important job to as a Polymer. The workers on a group of chemists, chemical engineers and textiles engineers which are product for the NASA and the U.S department of defense.

High-Tech Textiles= Advanced Materials
The high-tech textile requires many skills in engineering and able to know the art of chemistry. These people that in the field often have to study several different subjects.

GOBS OF GREEN JOBS

Gobs of Green Jobs
Global warming…
Endangered species, It is the loss of the rain forest. We hear lots about the problems facing the planet. It is often hard to know how to help. In 2005, 1.6 million people worked in environmental jobs ( which does not include the farmers).
Many green jobs involve managing limited resources, including the air, water, land, and creatures that live on the planet Earth. Water resources managers, for example, make safe water available. The supervise water treatment plants and come up with effective ways to get the water to communities. Foresters manage the way to get the people use forests, so that trees can be harvested to produce paper and wood products in a sustainable way. Environmental protection technicians test water, air, and soil for contaminants to keep people and wildlife safe from toxins. Recycling specialist find safe, environmentally healty ways to dispose of the waste people create. Park rangers work to maintain healthy habitats in parks or nature preserves. Conservation biologists use science to understand and prevent the threats faced by wild species and their habitats.

Most scientists and environmentalists believe that the biggest threat to the planet is climate change. The energy to run most cars, homes, and businesses come from burning fossil fuels, such as oil and natural gas. Alternative energy specialists, for example, are needed to design energy sources, such as solar and wind power generators, which provide energy without spewing greenhouses gases. Other engineers are working to design cars and trucks with lower greenhouse gas emission. Green architects design homes and buildings that create less pollution and use fewer resources, such as electricity.
