Course content
Lectures: 1. Introduction to Textiles - Overview of Textile Structures and Production in the Fiber Line - Standard Textiles - Value added Products. 2. Development and current trends in yarn production technology (classic and unconventional spinning systems - Airjet, Vortex, DREF). Effect of technology on yarn properties. 3. Production of 2D and 3D woven structures using gripper projectile, Air and water jet weaving machines. Fabric structure and quality control of fabrics. 4. Modern knitting techniques in weft and warp knitting technology (distance knitting fabrication technology and their comparison in warp and weft knitting technology). New Trends of Knitted Textiles and Structures. Innovations in the field of technical knitted products. 5. Technical applications of nonwovens (hygienic and medical textiles, textiles for the automotive industry). Nanofibrous materials (applications, production technology). 6. Coloring theory. Color Stability - Principles and Methods of Evaluation. Fiber properties after pre-treatment. Dyeing of cellulose, animal and synthetic fibers. Interactions between fibers and dyes. 7. Textile finishing (easy-care, low flammability, water-repellent) - refining, testing methods. Special treatment methods using UV, laser, plasma. 8. Technology of garment production using automation (technical preparation of clothing production, editing, CAD/CAM, cutting, sewing machines, automation). 9. Application of modern methods of construction and evaluation of clothing products (comfort, KES system, editing, modeling using computer technology) 10. Application of structures and technologies for technical and medical textiles. Laboratory workshops: The exercises are based on the lectures as presentation of process in technological laboratories FT TUL. Within the exercises the students obtain assignments on the topics they receive in the exercise. Topics relate to the relevant textile disciplines taught within the subject.

Learning outcomes
The main objective of the course is to provide students with a deeper insight into current issues in the field of textile engineering and in general about textile and clothing technology starting from fiber raw materials to fabrics used both in clothing and in technical applications, including high performance textiles. Within the subject the main areas of textile technology and clothing industry e.g.: spinning, weaving, knitting, non-woven textiles, chemical processing and textile finishing and clothing manufacturing are presented. The subject is taught in English to make students familiar with international developments in various specializations.
Extension of vocabulary of technical English language in the field of textile engineering, familiarization with deeper essence of the processes and the trends in these fields: spinning, weaving, knitting, non-woven, finishing and clothing technology.
Prerequisites
Basic knowledge of English language. Knowledge within the range of subjects Textile technology I, II.
