This study on functional mainly focuses on meeting an individual’s needs for survival and health, as well as improving the efficiency and comfort of one’s life. This makes a higher demand on the clothing’s quality and manufacturing-related techniques. As textile technology continues to develop, it is creating an ever-increasing demand. In terms of usage, functional clothing can be divided into two main categories - protective and non-protective clothing. Protective clothing is mainly used to protect the human body in hazardous or challenging environments by mitigating potential harm. Non-protective clothing, on the other hand, aims to improve people’s quality of life and enhance their physical abilities by being multi-functional. Based on various design elements, clothing can be discussed in terms of colour, textile and structure, of which colour is the North America will continue to have the biggest market share,North America will continue to have the expected to expand the Asia Pacific market, in particular, is of healthier significantly thanks to an increased awareness of young lifestyles.

Thanks to modern technology, being multi-functional is no longer means sacrificing fashion. When designing and engineering functional clothing, it is important to FebruaryI 2021 Functional clothing - a greenfield Functional clothing - a industry with huge potential The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 greatly changed people’s lives and manufacturing activities. With increased exposure to virus-related information, people tended to suffer greater psychological insecurity resulting in a higher demand for protection, together with comfort and safety, as their priority when choosing clothes. People became more sensitive about whether the environment they were in was comfortable and healthy and demanded a higher standard of living quality and efficiency. All of which led to requirements for a products to provide certain protective functions to enhance wellness. This kind of demand for security cannot be met through the conventional approaches of market promotion, but requires technological innovation and creative design. Even in hospitals, where the use of smart anti-bacterials has been limited to surfaces, it is expected that after the pandemic, a strong market for smart materials to counter health hazards caused by bacteria and viruses will emerge of human joints.

Biomechanics deals with the mechanical characteristics of the human body as well as the kinematic, dynamic and behavioural analysis of human activity. Its applications address the mechanical structure, strength, and mobility of humans for engineering purposes. As all clothing creates some pressure on the body, pressure may also be intentionally applied to specific body parts for therapeutic and rehabilitation purposes in the form of compression garments.

Soil is commonly used as a support for footpath and be placed easily into congested utility trenches and yet carriageway pavements in Hong Kong. During the excavatable like conventional soil-based compacted maintenance of different utilities, it can be easily excavated backfill. To ensure this innovative self-compacting material and filled back into open trenches. The backfilling operation to be truly applicable in Hong Kong, different performance may sound straightforward, but the dense infrastructure requirements have been taken into consideration during the of Hong Kong brings unique challenges to this common research and development stage. In addition to the operation most of us can see when driving or walking past self-compacting nature and easy excavatability, the thermal the freshly cut trenches. Utility conduits, cables and pipes performance of the material is also a determining factor in often occupy a congested space below the pavement. the material selection. This is particularly important to the This congestion can cause unwanted void spaces to remain repair and installation of power cables. The excess heat between utility installations such as data or power cables generated by high power transmission in the cables would after the compaction of the soil has been completed. The need to be carried away from their surfaces effectively to compaction of the backfilled soil needs to be conducted avoid overheating, which may lead to cable malfunctioning in compacted layers not exceeding 150 mm thick, which in the worst case. The desired performance is translated to is often performed with a vibrating plate or a power quantifiable technical properties of flowability, hardening rammer depending on the size of the backfilled area. time, final strength and thermal conductivity. The compaction is often not easy on confined sites and spreads dust around the surrounding areas. Furthermore, it is governed by the weather: it cannot be performed in rainy Rheological and mechanical conditions when the soil becomes saturated with water. properties The delays caused by weather are hence common in In modern concrete mix design, high flowability can be projects, especially during the rainy season in Hong Kong. achieved easily with the addition of plasticisers and water In addition to time constraints, conventional backfilling with reducers, without risking the segregation of the material compacted soil cannot guarantee the backfilled space free components. However, conventional concrete mixes are of voids, which can generate an empty unsupported space designed to improve the compressive strength and therefore between the pavement and the subbase. In a worst-case the particle size distribution of the aggregates. Their ratio situation, this kind of space can grow beneath the with the binder is accustomed to being optimised keeping pavement due to subsidence of the soil and further carried this in mind. Different fillers and aggregates have been away by groundwater leading to sinkholes and pavement investigated to achieve a very high flowability of more damage. In addition, the backfill needs to be conducted than 200 mm slump flow spread value without jeopardising with a material, which can be easily excavated in case of the excavatability requirement thus maintaining the future maintenance. Thus, it is impossible to replace the soil final compressive strength below 1 MPa, which is an with concrete type materials. unexceptional value in the conventional concrete mix design. The logistics and geography of Hong Kong have also been taken into consideration during development.

The capability of a material to transfer thermal energy is presented as thermal conductivity (W/mK). Thermal conductivity in soil greatly depends on the number of air voids within it and its water content. Air serves as an insulator and water as a conductor. Other materials in soils, such as sand or different types of larger aggregates mostly consist of highly conductive minerals such as quartz and feldspar bringing the overall thermal conductivity to approximately 0.9 - 1.1 W/mK. The material formulation of this backfill has been optimised to achieve the corresponding thermal conductivity than that in Hong Kong soils. Being self-compacting possible, air voids around the power cables are eliminated. It makes the backfill safe to use without

By Ir Dr Alex GBAGUIDI
Overturning former President Trump’s previous decision to withdraw from the Paris Agreement provides the USA with the opportunity to enhance their global effort into curbing climate change. The new US President Joe Biden, by re-joining the Paris Agreement, is proposing making US electricity production carbon-free by 2035 and having the country achieve net zero carbon emissions by the middle of the century.
President Biden will drive down emissions by upgrading four million buildings to enhance energy efficient. The Biden Administration would also like to invest in electric vehicle manufacturing and charging points and give consumers financial incentives to trade up to cleaner cars. This is a sign of a big push on electric vehicles, green buildings (both residential and commercial), and nature-based solutions on climate change. All of these options will also increase job opportunities.
Immediate signs of such a great hope come from the world of high finance. Liberty Mutual Insurance Company became one of the first big US insurers to announce, after the USA presidency election, stopping aiding coal companies. That point was underscored over when Goldman Sachs announced on 14 December 2020 that it would restrict its lending to the coal industry, further promote green technologies, and, moreover, not be interested in funding the drilling of the Arctic anymore.
On the other hand, the European Investment Bank announced earlier that it would no longer finance fossil fuel projects; and the Swiss Central Bank also announced, after the USA presidency race, that it would enhance actions in key aspects including (1) low carbon and energy efficiency finance and investing, (2) emission measurements and transparency, (3) climate engagement with companies and policy makers.
The policy change in the USA also provides high finance leaders with enabling factors, a range of climate leadership actions and expected positive outcomes (lower carbon and climate resilient world), as well as the pathways of mainstreaming these leadership actions across the wider financial services industry. This will definitely be a great move, not only because of the potential of the US, but also because the new policy really emphasises the US commitment to fighting climate change and proactively scaling up actions.
With this policy change, China, the USA, the EU, Japan and South Korea (which account for 66% of the global economy and over 50% of global greenhouse gas emissions) would reach net zero emissions by the mid-century, as stated by the Climate Action Tracker.

We conduct our business with environmental responsibility in mind – for a greener future, for our younger generations.
As Hong Kong’s oldest energy utility, our pioneering green initiatives date as far back as the early 70s, when we began using naphtha rather than heavy oil and coal to produce town gas. In 2006, we took another significant step forward, when we introduced natural gas as a feedstock in addition to naphtha. To foster the use of renewable energy, we have also added landfill gas to our energy mix for local gas production. Looking forward, we are committed to the ongoing exploration and supply of clean energy to ensure a green and sustainable future for our young people and the generations to come.
