Exploring the Future of Textiles: Advancing High-Performance Composites and Sustainable Solutions at TU Chemnitz
The Professur Textile Technologien at the Technische Universität Chemnitz specializes in textile technologies, spanning from traditional apparel to advanced high-performance composites used in applications like fiber-reinforced concrete. Re-established in May 2014, the department has a strong focus on process development, machinery construction, and product development related to textile technologies. Their research primarily centers around the development of technical textiles for fiber composites and reinforcement structures, which are essential for a wide range of industries.
The department addresses a variety of textile-related challenges, including apparel, sport and outdoor textiles, and medical and industrial applications. It is actively involved in research and development, particularly in the areas of high-performance and sustainable textiles. Their expertise includes process development, construction and modification of textile machinery, and product development tailored to meet industry needs.
Key projects include the development of fiber composites for diverse applications, such as textile-reinforced concrete and metallic compounds. Additionally, the department offers courses in textile engineering, lightweight engineering, medical engineering, and sports engineering, providing students with a broad educational foundation. The department is also designed to be accessible to all, with wheelchair-accessible entrances and parking, ensuring that all students can fully engage with the opportunities provided.
