撥水紡織品是一種功能化與智能化的紡織品，經過撥水處理後，能抵禦輕微雨水，又能透氣，進而使得身體能保持舒適。本研究透過歐洲專利局(EPO)資料庫，檢索2000年至2014年共15年之撥水紡織品專利資料，進行撥水紡織品發展方向之分析與研究。藉由專利定性分析，了解專利強度；並進一步運用化學摘要資料資料庫(SciFinder)進行專利新物質分析藉以了解撥水之發展與新運用。
Water-repellent textile is a functional and intelligent textile. After water repellent finishing, textile can resist water, breathable and keep body comfortable. In this study, we analyzed the water-repellent textile patents in EPO, from 2000 to 2014. Patent strength was measured by international search report. New water repellent materials were analyzed through SciFinder.
