TEACHING MATERIALS for staff trainess

2. New technologies for textile functionalization

Through the application of a new technologies as an emerging tool for improving textile performance and increase its added value, learners will be learned about specific functional properties of textiles as self-cleaning, super-hydrophobic, antimicrobial, flame retardant, etc. which are results of functionalization of textiles using such innovative tecnologies.
