Study of various nonconventional natural fibres, like vegetable fibres, wild silks, fur and hair fibres, and special manufactured fibres, like microfibres, nanofibres, profiled, bicomponent, antistatic, antibacterial, smart fibres and high-performance fibres.
Objectives of the course include: deeper knowledge on structure of yarns, woven and knitted fabrics, knitwear and nonwovens; identification of structural and processing parameters impact on final properties of textile products; recognition of existing complex applications and investigation of new applications. The content of the course comprises: classification and analysis of the impact of fibres, ... Read more
Study of fibre-forming polymer structure in their unoriented and amorphously crystalline state and their changes at deformation. Study of the superstructure of oriented fibre-forming polymers and the interdependence between the structure and properties, which is a key to understanding the behaviour of fibres in end products.

Students perform advanced research in the field of colour theory and therefore acquire additional knowledge and experience about the expression and use of different colour configurations in both analogies, contrast or colour combinations according to the principle of the golden ratio, colour induction, colour transformations, colour strength and coloured body. Students obtain in-depth knowledge and ... Read more
The fundamental aim of course is to obtain in-depth knowledge of mathematical models (matrix, CLUT) and methods for colour transforms between different colour spaces used in the field of cross media publishing. The student will be able to apply his/her knowledge in the field of capturing (input devices), displaying (monitor) and colour reproduction (output devices) ... Read more
The course considers basic knowledge required for printed organic electronics and its application within printed electronics. Special attention is devoted to understanding of electrical properties of materials suitable for application, topography of prints and requirements suitable for the final application. The measuring methods for analysis of materials (printing substrates and functional printing inks), process and ... Read more
The course covers selected topics of physics and chemistry that enable the successful application of materials science for state-of-the-art applications, especially “functional” or “smart” examples. Attention will be paid to measurement equipment available from field to laboratory scale. The knowledge is of crucial importance for continuous development of graphic and textile applications with successful introduction ... Read more
