Abstract
New fibers are categorized as: (1) high-performance fiber, (2) high-function fiber, and (3) high-touch fiber. Products appearing in the Japanese market are introduced with the technical background. High-performance fiber denotes fiber that possesses higher mechanical strength, better heat resistance, better acid/alkali resistance, and better weather resistance than conventional fibers. High-function fiber provides a specific function required in a specific environment or occasion, and high-touch fiber is represented by shingosen.Keywords
