Fibers for Technical Applications
In applied projects, we develop functional fibers that enhance quality of life, working closely with industry partners to translate innovation into practice.
Our research spans four key areas—Technical Textiles, Healthcare, Polymer Processing, and Fundamental Studies—with the shared goal of advancing functional fibers for next-generation applications.
Through cutting-edge science we contribute to solutions in areas ranging from technical textiles and healthcare products to sustainable polymer processing and advanced structural analytics. Fundamental research on structure-property relationships, in-situ testing, and rheology supports our applied innovations with deep scientific understanding.
