Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2023-2024.

This course covers the development of functional fibers and textiles thru nanotechnology. This course introduces nanomaterials, nano-finishes and nanocoating processes used for functional fibers and textiles. This course also emphasizes the structure-property of the nanofibers and nanotextiles and predict their end-use. Examples of nanotechnological products based on nanofibers and nanotextiles in the market are included. This course also discusses environmental issues and the sustainability aspects regard to nanotechnology used in fibers and textiles. Through lectures, readings, discussion, projects and presentations, this course highlights the role of nanotechnology for the development of functional fibers and textiles.

When Offered Spring.

Prerequisites/Corequisites Prerequisite: FSAD 1350 and FSAD 1360 and FSAD 3350, or ENGRI 1200/AEP 1200, or MSE 2610 or MSE 3010, or equivalent.
