Corsair TruAuxetic™: Imagine more perfect fit. For athletic and intimate apparel, Auxetic textiles provide better fit, comfort, reduce wrinkles
Application:
|
Corsair’s TruAuxetic™ technology, developed and patented by researchers at University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, will help improve fit and comfort of form-fitting apparel (e.g., sportswear, body suits, intimate apparel, etc.) by applying uniform pressure. The performance of almost any woven textile layer can be made more isotropic, thus decreasing the risk of wrinkling. When you pull Corsair's TruAuxetic textile in one dimension, the other dimension either does not shrink or even expands. This special material quality enables better fitting for athletic and other apparel and could even reduce residual stress in laminar composites when used for the reinforced fabric.

Technology: |
When stretched in one direction, Corsair Innovation’s TruAuxetic™ textile materials can either expand or maintain the textile layer’s dimension in the orthogonal (90 degree) planar direction. This feature makes the TruAuxetic™ textile layer an Auxetic fabric (with a zero or negative Poisson's ratio). TruAuxetic™ is a cost effective way to create truly auxetic knit structures from readily available filaments by applying geometrically engineered structures and novel design configurations. Corsair Innovation’s TruAuxetic™ fabric layer will conform to complex contours and wrinkle less because it fits better. The precise material can be tailored to achieve desired performance.
