6 Expo guIdE
The best of the best
The opening five minutes of the movie “Top Gun” always gets
me jumping. I’ve probably watched the opening scene twenty
times. It’s amazing to see the flight operations crew perform
orchestrated hand instructions and on-deck maneuvers that enable
a high performance aircraft to take off and land in rough seas.
If you’ve seen the movie, you already know that the pilot, Maverick,
was selected to attend the U.S. Navy’s Top Gun training program.
Top Gun is a real program the Navy uses to select and train the best
of the best. Until 1997, it was headquartered just outside of San Diego
at Miramar Naval Air Base.
Thinking back on that scene, it’s is fitting to be here in
San Diego this week for IFAI Expo 2009. Gathered here are
the best of the best in the industry.
In this worldwide economic downturn, in the turmoil of
possibly the worst recession in United States’ history, the
staff of IFAI and the show exhibitors have been carefully
making plans to help our attendees—the best of the best—
successfully pilot their companies past the rough economic
seas and into the blue sky beyond.
We all dream of being “Maverick.” By attending or exhibiting
at IFAI Expo 2009, you’ve selected yourself to be a member
of the fabric industry’s “Top Gun” team. Nobody had to choose you. You
made the decision to join. Congratulations, you are among the textile
industry’s best of the best!
I have no doubt that the economy will flourish again, or of this
industry’s resolve in the face of today’s challenges. Consumers will
spend again. There will be projects to create, designs to become reality.
By choosing to be here, you are already in the cockpit, your plane is
clearing the carrier’s deck, and you are heading to blue sky.
Thank you for participating here in San Diego, and we look forward
to seeing you again in Orlando in 2010!

From the consolidated NAIZIL experience the first fabric for
great structures was born. Specifically made to “camouflage”
itself perfectly with any type of environment and particularly
with urban context architecture.
OTHER ITEMS:
Wide product range and
cutting-edge technology
Outdoor and indoor fabric for reduction of luminosity and solar heat.
Its appearance and a large range of colours can satisfy even the most
particular applications.
High-quality coated fabrics proper for frame supported structures
and textile architecture; the fabrics are flame-retardant and
protected by PVDF or TiO2 (TITAN W) lacquering.
These particular treatments assure a continuous exposure to UV-rays
and a total rain proofing as a guarantee.

Raindrop proof fabric that stands up to weather
Bright marine toppings that make it all better
Textures galore in various hues
We've got it all from the whites to the blues
Solids and stripes for awnings that cover
Multiple widths to shade one another
We carry the goods that add all the blings
These are a few of our favorite things
Hundreds of vinyls in colors of rainbows
Found everywhere from boats to gazebos
Various backings stretching to please
allowing the sewer to cover with ease
When the price jumps, when the color fades
When you're feeling sad...
Just simply remember our numerous things
And then you won't feel....so bad.

Multifunctional woven Cloth for Fuel Cell Gas Diffusion Media
Mike Ellis, PhD, Associate Professor, Virginia Tech
For ultra-lightweight applications, a promising type of proton exchange membrane
fuel cell (PEMFC) architecture, the ribbon fuel cell, relies on the gas diffusion layer
(GDL) to conduct electrical current in-plane to adjacent cells or collector terminals,
to provide gas transport to the catalyst layer, to manage water transport, and to
accomplish localized sealing at the cell edges and between cells. This presentation
focuses on the implemented within a woven cloth material with embedded seals
and surface modification to enhance hydrophobicity.

2:45–4:15 pm
Design innovation and the Development of a Material Culture: fashion, tools, tradition
and experimentation
Despina Papadopoulos, Design Director, Studio 5050
Do new materials yield new ideas? Or do they do so only after they become
commonplace? Can we expect mass use before mass experimentation? Is there
a circular relationship between materials, innovation and invention? Is there
deliberation in the development of a material culture? After 10 years of experimentation
in the field of wearable technologies, we are at a point where we
can look back into the intersections of fashion, interactivity, technology and
materiality and formulate an approach forward, one that takes into account the
way in which our material culture is coming together.

now What? managing money through
the economic storm
Wednesday, Sept. 23
8:30–9:30 am
Located in room 6C of the San Diego Convention Center
Continental breakfast starts at 8:00 am
A veteran financial industry journalist and observer who has covered every
economic crisis since the crash of 1987, Ron Insana will captivate you with
his personal perspective on managing through this crisis. Now is the time
to be smart and not make speculative mistakes involving your
finances, and Ron will explain how to separate fact versus
myth in understanding the cause and evolution of the
crisis; and what types of government solutions are
needed to provide stability that the private sector
can’t fund on its own.
For over two decades, Insana has been a familiar face on
business television, spending 22 years as a veteran anchor
at CNBC and its forerunner, the Financial News Network. He
has written for USA Today, Money magazine; and hosts a radio
show, “The Market Score Board Report With Ron Insana” currently in national
syndication through Compass Media Networks. He is also well-known as an
author, having written several books about Wall Street and the financial markets:
Traders’ Tales, a compendium of anecdotes about Wall Street life; The Message of
the Markets; Trendwatching: Don’t be Fooled by the Next Investment Fad, Mania,
or Bubble; and his latest in 2009: Dressed for Distress.
Ron was nominated for a News and Documentary Emmy Award as part of NBC’s
coverage of 9/11, and in 1999 was named one of the top 100 business news
journalists of the century by TJFR Group.

Patching holes in human tissue–
Current applications of textiles
in medicine
Wednesday, Sept. 23
9:45 am–12:30 pm
Located in room 5A of the San Diego Convention Center
Medical and biomedical sciences are advancing toward a future that
promises endless possibilities, and textiles will play an important role in
this advancement. Textiles are finding their way into our blood vessels,
neural system, eyes and even our bones.
• Learn about advances for repairing or replacing tissues damaged by disease or
trauma
• Examine novel solutions to persisting clinical problems affecting the population
• Identify strategies to further advance the use of textiles in human and animal
health
• Network with textile suppliers, clinicians, engineers, materials scientists, and

Nanofibrous Scaffolds for Peripheral Nerve and
Spinal Cord Regeneration
Song Li, Ph.D., Associate Professor, Department of Bioengineering, University of
California, Berkeley
9:45–10:25 am
The advancement of nanotechnology opens new avenues for regenerative
medicine applications. The micro/nanostructure of extracellular matrix
plays an important role in cell organization, tissue morphogenesis and
tissue remodeling. We fabricated nanofibrous scaffolds with electrospinning
technique, and engineer the organization, bioactivity and drug
releasing of the nanofibers. The application of these technologies in the
regeneration of neural tissues will be discussed.

Vascular Prosthetics
Gary Bowlin Ph. D, Professor, Department of Biomedical Engineering, Virginia
Commonwealth University
10:25–11:00 am
Biomedical textiles used for applications ranging from tissue engineering
scaffolds to vascular grafts must meet many criteria, among which
are the following: the material must be biocompatible and function
without interrupting other physiological processes, and the textile
production method must be reproducible and allow for a wide range of
shapes and sizes such that the morphological and mechanical properties
of the textile are sufficient for the intended use. The method of
electrospinning is a simple fabrication process that achieves the goals
of many biomedical textiles including the next generation of vascular
prosthetics. Thus, the preliminary work in developing electrospun
vascular prosthetics will be discussed with a primary focus on the
numerous evaluations performed on bioresorbable vascular grafts (in
situ tissue engineering).
Bioceramic Materials for Bone Repair
Kent Leach, Ph.D., Assistant Professor, University of California, Davis
11:00–11:40 am
The repair of slow-healing fractures and non-unions caused by trauma
or disease requires biomaterials-based interventions to facilitate bone
regeneration. Compared to the gold-standard of autologous bone
grafts, synthetic materials are widely available, eliminate concerns
of immune rejection, and the material properties and degradation
rates can be tailored for the specific application. This presentation
will highlight some of our recent efforts in fabricating biodegradable
sponges containing biominerals for promoting bone formation.
Evaluating the Contributions of Biotextiles to
Human Health
ifai eXPo 2009
Martin King, Ph.D., FITS, LTI, Professor of Biotextiles and Textile Technology,
North Carolina State University
11:45 am–12:30 pm
Implantable textile products, known as biotextiles, are finding
applications in a growing range of medical applications and surgical
procedures. The talk will highlight some of the more recent developments
in surgical therapies and regenerative medicine, and illustrate
how the selection of particular polymers, fibers, textile structures and
finishes contributes to a less invasive surgical procedure and a positive
patient outcome through faster healing and long term safety of the
biotextile device.

Design of Expandable/Inflatable Habitats to Support
the Vision for Space Exploration
Jinny Ferl, Design Engineering Manager- SSA, ILC Dover, LP
2:00–2:30 pm
NASA’s Vision for Space Exploration includes a long term human presence
on the surface of the moon, and calls for development of a reference lunar
exploration architecture concept to support sustained human and robotic
lunar exploration operations. This presentation will discuss the design of
expandable habitats and the softgood material attributes that make it
possible for maximizing usable space while minimizing weight and packed/
launch volume, and remote deployment. One option under consideration is
the use of expandable softgood structures.
Engineered Materials for Space Radiation Protection
Sheila Thibeault, Ph.D., Senior Research Physicist, NASA Langley Research Center
2:30–3:00 pm
The radiation species in space that are the most hazardous to humans are
high energy protons, light ions, and heavy ions. Secondary neutrons are
also a concern. Materials composed of light chemical elements provide the
best shielding for all these particles. Polymers, especially ones with a high
hydrogen content, are excellent candidates for radiation shielding. Engineered
polymeric materials of all forms–including fibers and fabrics–are being
investigated for radiation shielding for future exploration missions.

Textile Damage in Astronaut Gloves
Don Schockey, Ph.D, Director, Center for Fracture Physics, SRI International
3:00–3:30 pm
Astronaut gloves must resist cutting, tearing, abrasion, and unraveling during
spacewalk activities. Currently made of liquid crystalline polyester, the yarns
in the tricot warp knit fabric are showing the effects of contact with shuttle
surfaces having off-nominal roughness. This talk describes the types of damage
sustained by gloves during spacewalks and discusses the loading conditions the
fabric must withstand.
Physiologic-Hygienic Requirements for Materials
for Astronaut Comfort in the Liquid Cooling Garment
of the Space Suit
Victor Koscheyev, Ph.D., Director, Laboratory for Health and Human Performance in Extreme
Environments and Gloria Leon, Ph.D., Professor Emerita, University of Minnesota
3:30–4:00 pm
The effectiveness of the advanced design of the space suit is highly dependent
on the effectiveness of the regulation of heat balance of the human body
under different levels of physical exertion, and for different purposes such as
entry/re-entry, extravehicular activity. The cooling garment has the closest
contact with the skin and therefore is actively involved in the process of heat
regulation, Certain progress has already been made by our group in the
physiological design of the cooling garment. These issues will be discussed in
this presentation.

seventh annual
iFF silent auction
(and fourth annual Golf Tournament)
The Industrial Fabrics Foundation (IFF) is holding its
seventh annual Silent Auction at IFAI Expo 2009. The
silent auction is open during the Opening Reception
on Wednesday, September 23, 2009. This will be the
only chance to bid on the many great items that were
donated.
“Our 2009 goal is to raise a minimum of $10,000 for
the Foundation’s industry education programs,” says
IFF managing director Beth Hungiville. “We hope all
IFAI Expo attendees will come by the auction to make
their bids.”
Individuals and companies should
consider the Foundation’s vision
when deciding how to support the
silent auction, Hungiville says.
“The Foundation collaborates with
individual, corporate, academic and
other nonprofit partners who share a
belief in a strong and vital specialty
textiles industry. The Foundation’s
programs provide unique opportunities
and access to education for
current specialty-fabric business
employees and their family members,
as well as future employees.
Ultimately, we all benefit,” she says.
At the IFAI Expo 2009 Chairman’s
Gala Dinner the IFF will be awarding more than
$20,000 in scholarships to college students who are
pursuing careers in the specialty fabrics industry.
Since we started our scholarship programs in 2001
we have awarded over $100,000 in scholarships.
