Advanced Functional Fabrics of America (AFFOA)

The Advanced Functional Fabrics of America (AFFOA) is a research and innovation initiative that focuses on developing innovative fabrics with advanced capabilities. These fabrics incorporate cutting-edge technologies such as electronics, sensors, and intelligence directly into textile fibers, enabling them to do more than just cover the body. For example, they can monitor health, regulate temperature, or adapt to environmental conditions. AFFOA aims to transform traditional textiles into smart, functional materials for applications in healthcare, defense, sports, and consumer products, fostering economic growth and technological leadership in the textile industry.
