By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

·         Understand the classification, structure, and properties of natural, synthetic, and technical textile fibres.

·         Explain yarn and fabric manufacturing processes, including weaving, knitting, and non-woven technologies.

·         Relate textile structure and processing routes to performance characteristics and end- use applications.

·         Understand textile wet processing operations such as pre-treatment, dyeing, printing, and finishing.

·         Apply standard textile testing methods to assess physical, mechanical, colour fastness, and functional performance.

·         Interpret relevant textile standards (ASTM, ISO, EN) and quality control requirements.

·         Recognise sustainability challenges, regulatory drivers, and emerging material solutions within the textile industry.

This course is intended for:

·         Engineers, technologists, and professionals working in textiles, high-tech coated fabrics, polymers, composites, or related manufacturing sectors.

·         Quality assurance, production, R&D, and product development personnel.

·         Graduate students and early-career researchers in textile engineering, materials science, polymer science, or chemical engineering.

·         Professionals seeking a structured understanding of textile materials, processing, testing, and sustainability considerations.

The course will be delivered using a blended learning approach, including:

·         Presentations and Demonstrations introducing fundamental concepts and industrial practices.

·         Case studies illustrating real-world textile applications and quality challenges.

·         Standards-based discussions focusing on ASTM, ISO, and EN testing protocols.

·         Interactive sessions on material selection, troubleshooting, and performance evaluation.

This approach ensures a strong balance between theoretical understanding and real- world, industry-relevant skills.
