Objective
The overall objective of the project is to increase the knowledge and research level of the Institute of Textiles at the University of Maribor, on the creation of tailored and/or smart fibre forming polymers and materials that would be able to control the realise of various active compounds, or to create tailored fibre surface properties for different end-applications in the area of technical textiles, such as medical, therapeutic, hygienic and protective textiles.
The project will transfer the knowledge of technologies based on
- colloidal micro-hydro-gelation,
- nano-micro-(en)capsulation and
- polymer surface coating,
- innovative biotechnological, green-chemistry and chemical catalysis tools, or their combination, will be applied to activate and/or modify polymer surfaces and/or colloidal particles/layers created by ecologically and toxicologically suitable processes.
According to the diversity of the knowledge and expertise that shall be transferred, the project will build a highly multidisciplinary scientific group, cutting across different established research areas, i.e. textile chemists, physical chemists, biological catalysts and colloidal engineers, that will be able to prepare colloidal particles, coatings and multilayers, and subsequently apply them to different suitably pre-activated and/or modified natural and synthetic polymer surfaces. The new fibre materials with upgraded properties can be exploited either to enhance the bulk properties of existing products for better performance, or to create new value-added products with smart and/or tailored surface characteristics based on the multifunctionality.
The project will increase the host research quality and overall RTD capability related to the EU competitiveness as well as contributes to the strengthening of textile and textile-oriented SMEs in order to deal with rapid change and growing competition of their products by integrating advanced technologies into the existing ones.
