Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current textiles used for motorcycle gear lack both impact abrasion resistance and aesthetic appeal, making them unsuitable for daily use.
Innovation Solution
An aqueous paste composition comprising high tensile modulus materials, antistatic agents, binders, and water is applied to fabrics, providing impact abrasion resistance while maintaining softness and style, suitable for both motorcycle gear and daily wear.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If high strength performance yarns are used to produce motorcycle gear textiles, then impact abrasion resistance is improved, but aesthetic characteristics and softness deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies composite materials by combining high strength performance yarns (such as Dyneema, Spectra, or Kevlar) with conventional textile yarns in a multilayer fabric structure. The high strength yarns are embedded within layers of conventional yarns that provide aesthetic appearance and softness, creating a composite fabric that delivers both protection and comfort for daily wear
2Strength
If high strength performance yarns are used to produce motorcycle gear textiles, then impact abrasion resistance is improved, but suitability for daily use deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates multilayer fabrics where high strength performance yarns are interlaced with conventional textile yarns. This composite structure allows the fabric to provide impact abrasion resistance when needed while maintaining the softness, flexibility, and aesthetic appeal required for everyday clothing applications
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies local quality by strategically positioning high strength performance yarns within specific layers or regions of the fabric structure. The high strength yarns are concentrated in areas requiring protection while conventional yarns dominate the surface layers that contact the skin, providing localized protection without compromising overall comfort and wearability
3Reliability
If conventional aqueous dispersions are used for coating fabrics, then corrosion and weather resistance are improved, but impact abrasion resistance deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses a composite coating composition containing both polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) particles for corrosion and weather resistance, and acrylic co-polymer particles for flexibility and adhesion. This composite coating system provides both durability against environmental factors and resistance to impact abrasion
