Send us a textImagine a world where waterproof/breathable materials really work, where there is mosquito proof apparel, or where fabrics can harvest power like a battery. These (and others) are innovations that Dr. Amanda Mills and her colleagues are working on at the NC State Wilson College of Textiles. Despite their groundbreaking research, they're not hiding their results in an underground lab. In fact, NC State offers courses for graduate, undergrad, and even online public extensions for makers everywhere. We chat about these topics and a lot more as we bring the podcast back to school. NOT Black Friday Sale 2024https://ripstopbytheroll.com/pages/not-black-friday-sale-2024LinksShop all   new productsFor information about our undergraduate programs, graduate programs, and K-12 campsInformation about our short coursesInformation about our Senior Design courseNC State Instagram, YouTube, and LinkedIn accountsChapters00:00- Welcome to NC State's Textile Community03:07- Exploring the Wilson College of Textiles06:10- Reviving Textile Manufacturing in America09:12- Innovative Facilities and Equipment12:10- Industry Collaboration and Production Capabilities14:47- The Future of Textiles: Technology and Innovation17:55- Career Paths in Textiles21:02- Resources for Learning About Textiles23:59- Exciting Projects and Innovations at Wilson College29:44- Innovations in Textile Development30:47- The Importance of Industry Partnerships34:15- Integrating Real-World Experience in Education36:57- Career Paths for Textile Students38:20- Sustainability in Textiles40:44- Cutting-Edge Textile Research46:16- Exciting Materials and Future Innovations49:41- Personal Applications and Hobbies in Textiles51:29- The Quest for Waterproof TextilesFind Us on Social Media 🚀@RipstopbytheRollwww.ripstopbytheroll.com
