Scope of activities:

The main areas of interest and research directions are the following issues falling within the general concept of Materials Science: 

  • research on the production of environmentally friendly polymer composites from waste materials, including textile,
  • research on sound absorption of composites produced, among others based on materials obtained from renewable sources,
  • modeling of sound-absorbing and mechanical properties and absorption of electromagnetic radiation by materials.

 

Present activities:

We develop and manufacture composites on a polymer matrix (duro- and thermoplastic) with fibrous and non-fibrous reinforcement. We develop composites with natural reinforcement, such as cork, wood, straw, natural fibers, obtained from renewable sources. In addition, we develop composites based on "recycled" materials such as garnetted textiles on a pulping machine, recycled fibers from textile factories, waste paper. We develop and manufacture semi-finished products such as yarns, non-woven fabrics, foils. We carry out tests of composites as well as materials used to produce them. We conduct research on the structure of materials, sound-absorbing properties, determining the coefficient of sound absorption with a frequency of up to 6400Hz using an impedance pipe, thermal properties, absorption properties of electromagnetic radiation - research on the transmission of electromagnetic waves of super-high frequency, physical and mechanical properties.

 

Future activities:

Development of current composite materials and creation of new ones, e.g. barrier materials based on garnetted textile materials obtained from waste.

Scope of activities:

The research activities of the employees of the Department of Chemistry and Physical Chemistry of Polymers focus on the production of polymers and copolymers by means of polymerization and polycondensation. New polymers, mainly fiber-forming, with specific functional properties (bactericidal, bioactive, and thermally resistant) are produced, and chemical and physical modifications are made on macromolecular compounds of natural and synthetic origin, mainly used for the functionalisation of textiles. The employees of the Department also deal with the physicochemical characteristics of polymers, the analysis of their properties, and the study of the relationship between their structure and properties.

 

Present activities:

The work currently underway at the Department focuses on:

  • modifications of chitin and chitosan to obtain derivatives with new properties,
  • production of fibers, films, nonwovens and other products from chitin and chitosan derivatives,
  • obtaining vinyl copolymers containing a component with bioactive properties,
  • the use of new methods of modification of the surface layer of fibers and films, such as entrapment, layer-by-layer or cross-linking technique.

 

Future activities:

The future activity will focus on the preparation of polymers with a modified surface layer and copolymers, including grafted ones, intended for special applications for instance in medicine and other.

Scope of activities:

The main areas of interest and research directions are the following issues falling within the general concept of textronics:

  • fiber-forming polymers with electrically conductive and sensory properties,
  • multifunctional ink compositions based on electrically conductive polymers and nanoparticles,
  • technology for the production of textronic materials by surface modification using sputtering, printing and embroidery techniques,
  • research on textronic materials for use in medical devices,
  • research on textronic materials for measuring sensory sensitivity to mechanical, chemical and physical stimuli.

 

Present activities:

Due to the constantly growing demand for new, multifunctional textile materials, conductive polymers and nanomaterials, visible in many areas of life and techniques, the Institute of Materials Science of Textiles and Polymer Composites is developing a number of material solutions for the construction of textronic systems. Textronic systems for electrostimulation are being prepared and can be used during rehabilitation. A textronic system for measuring pneumography is being developed. Work is underway on the development of sensory mats for children. In addition, research is carried out on the development of textile sensors that respond to changes in temperature, humidity, and vapors and liquids of polar and polar solvents. Heating systems are developed that can be used in sleeping bags as well as in wheelchairs. Works related to sensors for monitoring vital parameters such as pulse or electrodes for ECG measurement are also carried out.

 

Future activities:

Developing the current and building new, more advanced textronic systems, along with data collection and control systems, which will better collect vital parameters for monitoring, improve the quality of life of potential users and ensure optimal biophysical comfort.
