The module Textiles 2 consists of two modules:
Technical and functional textiles
Composites
Together, these two modules are worth 3 ECTs

- Technical and functional textiles: The aim of this module is for students to acquire theoretical knowledge about technical and functional textiles. Students will deepen their understanding of selected topics such as producing and using nonwovens, textile mechanics, etc. The student is able to use relevant technical tests and norms to translate the end user's needs into product and material properties.

- Composites: The student will use their academic knowledge and skills to fully understand composites, and to be able to design and develop textile products based on composites. The module will introduce students to different types of materials - particularly, polymers and composites in terms of their properties and processing. Students will learn about this through both theoretical and practical lessons.

Learning goals

Technical and Functional Textiles 


Competences: 

1 –Technical knowledge and analysis

 Specific learning goals:

The student knows a lot about technical and functional textiles in terms of fibre/yarn/fabric/material properties, mechanical properties, testing and norms and their application in textiles, and recent trends in the sectors.
The student is able to use their knowledge of technical and functional textiles.
The student is able to translate end user needs into product requirements and material properties of technical and functional textiles.
The student is familiar with relevant tests & norms, and can select and explain why a certain test is right for an end user's needs in terms of technical or functional textiles.
Composites

Competences

1 –Technical knowledge and analysis

Specific learning goals:

The student is able to specify and identify the different properties of the most frequently used polymers and composites.
The student is able to describe the different composite manufacturing processes and can specify the pros and cons of these different methods.
The student is able to use the knowledge they have acquired about composites and design and analyse a textile product. They will take the different materials and processes into consideration when doing so.
