Course Objective

To teach chemical fibres used in textile products,classify them,the ways they are obtained and their basic propertiees related to their use,to teach their usage areas using visual samples,to establish a connection between material selection and product properties in desing and product process.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   Define basic structural properties of chemical fibres
2   Understand/guess the content of fibre/fabric fom its handle, view and burning behaviour
3   Classify chemical fibres used in textiles according to their sources
4   Define ways of how chemical fibres are obtained
5   Define usage area of chemical fibres and fibre mixtures
6   Select suitable fibres during desing and production studies with the help of previously gained knowledge on the use of textile fibres
