    Glowing fabric is made by weaving optic fibers that were originally developed for high-energy physics experiments into ordinary fabrics. These optic fibers are threaded through fabric and powered by batteries to glow in the dark. The evolution of glowing fabric involved innovations in optic fibers from the 1840s to make them flexible in 1954 and incorporate photonic crystals in 1991, the invention of glow sticks in 1965, and the development of glow powder in 1995. In 2003, the company Luminex created the first glowing fabric by applying these glowing technologies to textiles, bringing the concept to market in 2010.

    Glowing Fabric

    The Evolution of Glowing Fabric


    By: Essence Walker

    What is Glowing Fabric???

    Glowing Fabric is a luminous fabric with the ability to glow in the dark. Designers use tiny,
    flexible optic fibers developed for high-energy physics experiments and weave them into
    ordinary fabrics. Power for the light the fabric gives off comes from an ordinary battery
    sewn into the cloth.

    Optic Fibers-18401954 1991


    Optic fibers are the fibers used to create Glowing Fabric. Its a technology that used glass
    or plastic threads to transmit data. A fiber optic cable consists of a bundle of glass
    threads, each of which is capable of transmitting messages modulated onto light waves.
    Up until 1954, Optical Fibers were stiff. Their new design allowed them to become
    flexible. They were redesigned once again in 1991, and this time with photonic-crystal
    fibers.

    Glow Sticks-1965

    In 1965 glow sticks were designed and invented by Bernard Dubrow and Eugene Daniel
    Guth. The two patented the glow stick in 1965. Their technology for glow sticks will later
    help with the invention of Glowing Fabrics

    Glow Powder-1995

    Glow Powder is a fine powder called zinc sulfide that usually glows an eerie green color
    when the lights turn off. The powder now comes in a variety of different colors, but
    green is the most common.

    Inventions and Innovations


    Over the years, many new inventions and different innovations had to be developed in
    order for Glowing Fabric to come about. Innovations such as: Cotton, Textiles, Glowing
    Power, Electricity Transportation, and Optic Fibers had to be made in order for us to
    have GLOWING FABRIC!!!

    Luminex-2003

    Luminex is the maker behind the idea of glowing fabric. Created in 2003, Luminex wanted
    a new trend that was above and beyond the ordinary. Their designers developed Glowing
    fabric.

    Glowing Fabric-2010

    In 2010, glowing fabric went on the market. Mainly used by designers, it costs $330/yard.
    Glowing Fabric was featured in Time Magazines list for Best Inventions of 2003. Glowing
    Fabric was a game changing invention that required a lot of technology, hard work, and
    dedication.
