German Design Award: LEONHARD KURZ Recognized For Innovative Automotive Front Panel

FÜRTH, Germany — December 12, 2023 — At the German Design Award 2023, the automotive front panel from LEONHARD KURZ was awarded a ‘Special Mention for Front Design.’ The innovative component successfully celebrated its premiere at the IAA Mobility event in Munich in September 2023 and later also impressed the trade audience at FAKUMA in Friedrichshafen. KURZ received the award in the category ‘Excellent Product Design – Automotive Parts and Accessories.’ Rainer Süßmann, Executive Senior Vice President of Business Area Plastic Decoration, explains: “The German Design Award enjoys an excellent international reputation. We are delighted to receive this award, as it underlines the fact that our decorative and functional surfaces are in tune with the times. We are proud that we are actively shaping change in the automotive industry through future-driven, sustainable production technologies.”

IMD technology: Design and functionality for the vehicles of tomorrow

The increasingly important topics of electromobility, autonomous driving, connected vehicles, and sustainable mobility are also changing the requirements for new vehicle components. The cutting-edge technology of self-driving cars is primarily hidden behind innovatively decorated front components, which are increasingly becoming the central brand element of a vehicle. This is precisely the aim of the design concept from finishing specialist KURZ. Despite impressive dimensions (W x H x D: 1,130 x 290 x 160 mm), the front panel is manufactured and finished using the most advanced In-Mold Decoration (IMD) in just one single work step. The smooth, connected surface is radar/LiDAR permeable and therefore perfectly suitable for the vehicles of tomorrow.

The front panel from Fürth also illustrates the diverse design possibilities of IMD technology in combination with hybrid technologies such as laser ablation (laser removal of coating areas), hot stamping, or digital printing. In this example, the component is made translucent by laser engraving – lettering and logos then create unmistakable brand statements. Backlighting effects are not only used for customization but also for communication with other road users. In addition to many decoration options such as day-night designs, different colors and animations for actions such as flashing, braking, or loading can also be implemented. The front end is recyclable as a complete component and is made from a polycarbonate base.

On request, the front cover can be equipped with an extremely resistant, self-healing DECOPUR® surface. In combination with a crystalline high-gloss finish, this creates an extremely resistant surface with fantastic depth effects that perfectly accentuate the decorations underneath. This demonstrator component was implemented as part of a development project with the company Samvardhana Motherson Peguform (SMP). Interested parties can find further information about the front panel on the KURZ website.

Under Armour’s Breakthrough Fiber-Shed Test Method Now Available For Industry

BALTIMORE — December 12, 2023 — Following years of research in its innovation lab, earlier this year Under Armour announced a breakthrough fiber-shed test method to help address the invisible, but daunting sustainability threat microfibers and microplastics pose to society and the planet. Now, the brand has teamed up with James Heal, a precision testing solutions supplier, to bring its award-winning test method to life.

Over the past eight months, the partners have developed and optimized fiber-shed test kits for industry use that employ Under Armour’s simplified, repeatable method. The resulting test kits are now available for purchase from James Heal. As part of the partnership, the companies are receiving continued support and technical guidance from testing service provider Hohenstein — an internationally recognized and acclaimed testing, research, and certification leader with roots in the textile sector.

As synthetic and natural fabrics are produced, worn, and cleaned, they shed fibers at varying rates. By increasing access to their simplified fiber-shed testing method, the companies hope to make it easier for industry players to understand their own contribution to the microfiber issue.

“Until now, integrating fiber-shed testing into industry research and development activities has required a significant time and cost investment,” said Kyle Blakely, senior vice president of Innovation for Under Armour. “At Under Armour, we believe intervening early to mitigate shedding is critical, which is why our test method is designed to specifically address these time and cost barriers to entry. Thanks to our partners at James Heal, we are excited to make our innovative test method widely available as we address our own environmental impact.”

In addition to making the test method publicly available, Under Armour has provided complimentary test kits to high-volume textile mills in its global supply chain to encourage early intervention within its indirect scope.

“Sustainability is a team sport, and we are thrilled to make this innovative measurement alternative widely available to the industry as we leverage it across our own brand,” said Michael Levine, vice president & chief sustainability officer for Under Armour. “Under Armour’s sustainability ambitions reflect our belief that what lies under our products matters. As we progress toward our goal for 75 percent of products to be made of low-shed materials by 2030, we will continue to pursue opportunities to magnify Under Armour’s impact in the collective fight against shedding.”

Through a new pilot program, Under Armour is developing a reduced shed version of its largest fleece offering that is expected to launch in Fall/Winter 2024. As the company continues to support the redevelopment of fabrics to shed less, UA aspires to improve product durability and performance to support athletes.

“Fiber-shedding in the textile industry is an extremely prevalent topic, and we are as keen as any to support ways to reduce this,” said Sam Tissington, commercial director at James Heal. “We are proud to support Under Armour in their attempts to further reduce the shedding of fiber throughout the manufacturing process of textiles, and to show that support we are providing global access to the Under Armour test method with the purchase of the Under Armour compiled Fiber-Shedding kits.”

Dr. Timo Hammer, CEO at Hohenstein, added: “As one of the leading research and test labs for textile fiber-shedding, this new method perfectly complements our current testing portfolio. We are proud to support Under Armour and its suppliers as a neutral third-party facility for testing and technical guidance.”

Lower Costs Thanks To Future Ultra-Thin Carbon Fibres And Progress In Sorting Used Textiles Using NIR (Near Infrared) Sensors

AACHEN, Germany — December 11, 2023 — The Institut für Textiltechnik (ITA) of RWTH Aachen University can look forward to two award winners in 2023: In his master’s thesis, ITA master’s graduate student Flávio André Marter Diniz developed polyethylene (PE)-based carbon fibers that are two to three times thinner than usual and showed how the use of PE-based precursors can reduce the price of carbon fibers by 50 percent in the future. For his master’s thesis “Investigation of the stabilisation and carbonisation process for the production of ultra-thin polyethylene-based carbon fibres”, he was awarded the prize for the best diploma/master’s thesis in German textile mechanical engineering and prize money of 3,500 euros.

In her Bachelor’s thesis, ITA Bachelor’s graduate Annika Datko showed how used textiles can be sorted by fibre composition using near-infrared (NIR) sensor technology and, on a laboratory scale, has an average mean error of only 4 percent. Sorting according to fiber composition to subsequently carry out fiber-to-fiber recycling is the most sustainable way to produce new fibres for new products from (used) textile fibers. For her work “Experimental analysis of the sortability of used textiles containing polyester using near-infrared spectroscopy on a laboratory and industrial scale”, she received the 3,000 euros prize for the best bachelor’s thesis from the German Textile Machinery Association.

The chairman of the Board of the Walter Reiners Foundation, Peter D. Dornier, presented the prizes at the Aachen-Dresden-Denkendort International Textile Conference in Dresden.

New manufacturing approach for more cost-effective carbon fibers

Carbon fibers are often used in growth areas such as wind turbines and pressure tanks due to their excellent properties. Unfortunately, they are very expensive due to high manufacturing costs and are not available in sufficient quantities. In his master’s thesis, Marter Diniz developed a new and cost effective manufacturing process by producing low-cost carbon fibers using a polyethylene precursor. Further advantages: the carbon fibers have an excellent surface quality without any noticeable structural deficits. In addition, Marter Diniz was able to reduce the time consuming sulphonation process by 25 percent.

These major advantages pave the way for a wider range of applications for carbon fibers in key industries such as wind power, automotive and aerospace.

New method for fiber-to-fiber recycling of used textiles can revolutionize textile recycling

Used textiles are currently sorted almost exclusively by hand. For fiber-to-fiber recycling — currently the most sustainable textile recycling option — it is important to sort textiles by fiber composition. This can-not be reliably done manually, i.e. by feel, especially with fiber blends. Annika Datko’s approach of using NIR for sorting used textiles is new. NIR sensor technology is already state of the art for recycling plastic waste, but is still in its infancy when it comes to sorting textiles.

How exactly it works: The textile sample is irradiated with NIR light. Based on the wavelengths of the reflected light and the light picked up by the detector, a material-specific spectrum is created that resembles a fingerprint. In her bachelor’s thesis, Annika Datko com-pared these spectra or fingerprints of textiles with different fiber components. She was able to prove that it is possible to differentiate between different fiber compositions using NIR and that it has a very low average mean error of just 4 percent on a laboratory scale.
