Textile Material Technology

We focus on the development of advanced functional and smart materials as well as novel, resource-effective processes to produce such materials. Innovation is created in a unique research environment with close connection to the textile industry.

Important research areas are for example in: natural fibres, synthetic fibres, yarn spinning, knitting, weaving, 3D structures, polymers, textile composites, interface and surface science, (bio)catalysis, chemistry, biotechnology, digital technologies (inkjet, 2D and 3D printing), coating, printing, dyeing, nanotechnologies, conductive and piezo-electric materials, as well as novel processes to produce textile materials in a more effective and efficient way.

At the University of Borås research in textile material technology also focuses on fibres and textiles from renewable resources as well as reuse of fibres via chemical, mechanical, physical-chemical or biotechnological means.
