Scope of activities:
The main areas of interest and research directions are the following problems falling within the general concept of Material Engineering of Clothing:
- virtual clothing designing with checking the fit to the human silhouette with the Lectra 3D Fit use,
- investigations of the fabric properties, such like drape, bending rigidity, share rigidity, elongation in the aspect od their formability,
- research of human being comfort in clothing (sensorical, physiological, psychological),
- surface modifications of basalt fabrics for application in the protective clothing,
- welding techniques and adhesive inserts.
Present activities:
We carry out the thermal comfort measurements using the thermal mannikin. We made the human being silhouette and on their basis we design the virtual patterns of clothing elements, using which we can sew (in the virtual or traditional way) the clothing , which fits to the given body shape.
On the basis of Lindberg’s relationship we determine the fabric formability, on the basis of which we can predict good or bade appearance of created clothing.
We assess the thermal resistance of basalt fabrics (raw or coated) in the aspect of their application in the protective clothing designated for work in the high temperature conditions.
Future activities:
Looking for relationships between mechanical fabric properties, and properties of clothing or the quality of making up processes.
