With the current demographic trend towards an ageing population, the request for healthcare productsappropriate for the special needs of elderly people is soaring. In particular, incontinence pads are used toprotect bed linens and mattresses in the case of urinary incontinence. These multilayer textile sheet productscombine a high absorbency and an impermeable component. However, issues with currently available productsinclude heat build-up and decubitus ulcers, which are of particular concern for bed-ridden people.The objective of this project is thus to develop the next generation of incontinence pads by leveragingmaterials properties in their design and construction. The requirements include full breathability, incontinencefunctionality, temperature and pressure management, as well as retaining these characteristics after extensiveindustrial laundering. This project will take advantage of the latest advances in polymer and textile science andtechnology, with swelling polymer-grafted microporous membranes, wicking fibers, superabsorbent polymerfibers, and phase change polymers for example. A special focus will also be directed at environmentalconsiderations, including launder-ability and recyclability.The project builds on the extensive experience of the company Vintex Inc. in manufacturing coated textilefabrics for the healthcare market as well as the expertise of CTT Group in designing innovative technicaltextiles to develop the new generation of high performance, fully breathable incontinence pads. It willcontribute towards preserving the best possible quality of life for our seniors with minimizing the impact of thecurrent demographic trend on the environment, two major concerns for Canadians.

随着当前人口衰老的人口趋势，适合老年人的特殊需求的医疗保健产品的要求正在飙升。特别是，在尿失禁的情况下，使用尿失禁垫和床垫。这些多层纺织品表产品Comcombine具有高吸收性和不可渗透的成分。但是，目前可用的产品包括热堆积和depubitus溃疡，这对卧床不起的人来说是特别关注的。这些要求包括全部透气性，顽强功能，温度和压力管理，以及在广泛的工业洗钱后保留这些特征。该项目将利用聚合物和纺织品科学和技术的最新进展，并具有肿胀的聚合物移植的微孔膜，芯片纤维，超吸收性聚合物纤维和相变聚合物。该项目还将集中在环境方面，包括洗钱能力和可回收性。开发新一代的高性能，完全透气的尿失禁垫。它将旨在为我们的老年人保留最佳的生活质量，以最大程度地减少人口趋势对环境的影响，这是加拿大人的两个主要问题。
