  • 3. Textile Structures and Processing - Basics

    The 3rd theme offers the student introduction to

    - the basic structures and trade names of woven, knitted and nonwoven fabrics.
    - the production methods of woven, knitted and nonwoven fabrics.
    - proper fabrics for specific function or context of use
    - the basic textile pre-treatment and finishing techniques and processes.
    - the proper ISO/ EN/ ASTM/ AATCC tests to assess the quality or functionality.

    The theme is divided into 6 different learning units:

    3.1 Basics of woven fabrics- 1 ECTS
    The course aims to give the student basic knowledge about the basic woven structures, the fabric trade names and context of use - Tested learning material available

    3.2 Basics of knitted fabrics - 1 ECTS
    The course aims to give the student abilities to identify and understand the knitted structures and know the trade names of knits and context of use. - Recommended contents of the learning material available

    3.3 Basics of nonwovens - 1 ECTS
    The course aims to give the student abilities to identify and understand different processes for nonwoven production as well as how fibre properties and production methods affect the properties and use of a nonwoven fabric.
