Course content
Lectures: 1. History of materials engineering, structure analysis and testing of properties of selected materials. 2. Fiber materials (fiber distribution, chemical composition, structure and properties of fibers). 3. Design and textile structures I 4. Design and textile structures II 5. Chemical fibers, synthetic fibers. 6. Inorganic fibers. 7. Glass-ceramic materials (structure, properties, processing). 8. Metals (properties, processing, development). 9. Plastics (properties, processing, development). 10. Special fibers (carbon, basalt, glass, optical, luminescent, metal, metallized, with shape memory). 11. Wood (structure, properties, processing). 12. Composite materials with fiber reinforcement. 13. Materials from new sources (biomaterials, waste materials). 14. Use of optical fibers for design Exercises: The contents of the exercises correspond to the topics of the lectures and are designed as workshops in studios or specialized laboratories. The intention is to use for design and area of ??development and research workplaces of the Technical University in Liberec, eg light microscopy, preparation, preparation of cross sections, analysis of surface and fracture surfaces, determining the material composition of mixed yarns, testing of tensile and bending properties, determination of melting temperature of thermoplastics , joining different types of materials, testing the strength of joints, analysis of materials from new sources.

Learning outcomes
The aim of the course is to acquaint students with the structure, properties and possibilities of using selected types of textile fibers and non-fibrous materials (glass, metals, plastics, biomaterials, etc.) for the development of design possibilities. Lectures monitor the relationship between the structure and properties of these materials in connection with their technological application, even in possible ones material combinations.
Theoretical and practical knowledge dealing with content of lectures and excercises
