The research on technical textiles has been greatly enhanced with the expansion of the applications of technical textiles.

The article analyzes the current development of technical textiles in China, and discusses the directions for developing new medical textiles; geo-synthetic materials; building textiles; textiles for agriculture, fish culture and aquaculture; textiles for transportation and sieve.

With the progress of modern science and technology,especially with the developmet of some high performance fibers,the technical textiles have entered into the high-tech application fields including aerospace and aeronautics,protective materials,geotextiles,construction,energy,medical materials and so on.
