Fiber Materials

Catalog description

This course covers the chemical structure, physical and thermal properties of commercially important synthetic and natural fibers. This course also emphasizes the structure-property relationship of fibers and their end-use. This course focus on chemistry throughout the fiber production and the recycle/upcycle path of textile fibers in the market. The functionalization of fibers, dyeing and finishing processes of textile fibers with experimental component are also included. This course provides understanding of suitable approaches for dyeing and finishing processes of textiles based on their chemistry and investigate more sustainable approaches/processes for the textile industry.
