Learning outcomes
This subject is aimed at central fields of applications of high-functional textile materials - high-functional textiles in medical, in sport, in protective working clothes, in engineering applications, in army. Smart textiles are taken in too. The firs part of lectures is focused on some basic procedures of a textile materials production and on opportunities of incorporation of a functional element into the textile structure.
Students orientate in the field of high-functional and inteligent textiles.
Prerequisites
