Acteev Experts to Share Trends in Medical 纺织品, 可持续性 in Functionalized Fabrics

Acteev experts have been tapped to share their knowledge at two upcoming expos. 克里斯蒂娜·阿塞维多博士.D., will discuss trends in health care at the Advanced 纺织品 Expo in Orlando, and Nikki 霍夫曼 will present on sustainability in textiles at Functional Fabric Fair in Portland. 

Dr. 阿塞维多的研讨会, “What’s Next for 纺织品 in the Health Care Industry,” will focus on the evolution of material requirement demands in the medical industry. “Fabrics no longer need to simply cover a wound or offer support,” Dr. Acevedo说. “今天, textiles are expected to regulate moisture, help manage temperature and contribute to recovery – all without including unnecessary chemicals or harming the environment.” 

Attendees will learn about changing needs in compression and other wearables, using new and traditional fabric constructions and evolving reimbursements that may drive trends. 

霍夫曼的研讨会, “可持续性 Through Functionalization: How the Right Fabric Choices Can Help 品牌 Meet Their Goals,” is geared toward brands looking to balance performance and the planet. 

“品牌 can meet both sustainability and performance goals,” 霍夫曼 says. “Creating materials to manage odors, 战斗静态, repel pet hair and stand up to extra wear and tear can be done without unnecessarily taxing the environment.” 

Acteev® recently announced a major brand expansion. The line now offers solutions for a wider range of textiles and soft goods, including a high-tenacity nylon, an anti-static fiber and a certified bio-based nylon in addition to its successful odor-fighting and health care offerings. Each product in the Acteev line is available in a low-carbon offering. 

Dr. Acevedo is a business and technology executive in antimicrobial material for the health care space. As the director of Acteev MED, she has expanded that focus to include applications for compression and wound care that could benefit from functionalized fabrics. She holds a doctorate in organic chemistry from Purdue University and an MBA from UNC Kenan-Flagler business School of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. 

Her presentation, part of Advanced 纺织’s show floor education series, is scheduled for 10:30 a.m. 周三,11月. 1. 世博会从11月11日开始. 1-3. 

霍夫曼, director of Acteev’s textiles division, is an award-winning innovator with 25 years of experience in fashion and materials development. She leads the brand partnership efforts, working with brands to develop yarns and fabrics that meet sustainability goals without sacrificing performance. She earned a chemical engineering degree from the University of Alabama.  

霍夫曼 is scheduled to speak at Functional Fabric Fair on the main stage at 1:45 p.m. 星期四,11月. 2. 演出将于11月举行. 1-2, and the Acteev team will be exhibiting in stand 132.
