Application Areas
Our research activities are concerned with the realization of complex geometries and high functionalities by means of textile structures. Added value is obtained for example by using direction-related material characteristics. This comprises stiffness and strength in fiber-reinforced composites, impermeability for surgical textiles, long lifespans and safety in use in packagings, and individually adjustable compression properties for sports apparel. Moreover, a great aesthetic overall appearance in terms of textile buildings/architecture can be achieved. Highly functional products, even in small batch sizes, can be generated with manufacturing methods ready for mass production. - we consider this one of our main goals!
