Prof. Xiaoming TAO, Prof. Bingang XU and Dr Tao HUA obtained the President's Awards
Further to the invitation of nominations in February 2021 and the subsequent assessment processes for the captioned, Prof. Xiaoming TAO, director of RI-IWEAR, and Prof. Bingang XU and Dr Tao HUA, two of RI-IWEAR members’ research Yarn-spinning Technology Revolution: Nu-TorquTM have obtained The President’s Awards for Outstanding Achievement in Knowledge Transfer 2021: Industry. A total of five teams was awarded this prize.
Nu-Torque is a revolutionary yarn-spinning technology that uses physical means to create yarns with lower torque and twist while achieving the same strength as conventionally spun yarns. Fabrics made with Nu-Torque yarns are less prone to deformation even after repeatedly washed, while also feel softer, look shinier and with less hairiness. Compared with conventional yarn-spinning technology, Nu-Torque also improves productivity, saves energy and reduces pollutions. Fabrics and garments made with Nu-Torque yarns are widely sold in the U.S., Europe, Japan and China.
Congratulation to our colleagues for the work on knowledge transfer.
