The introduction and historical overview of historical artefacts analysis methods. Managing clothing artefacts from their discovery to the conservation institute. Documenting clothing artefacts: category, typology and attribution. Use of archival data and historical analysis. The methods of analysis are applied through exercises on examples of clothing artefacts of different stylistic periods. The interpretations of the results are based on an inter-disciplinary approach. The course specifically discusses problems derived from comparative analysis. Comprehensive analysis covering the content of the artefacts, its historical and present-day reception.

The aim of the course

Theoretical knowledge about the possibilities of applying new plasma technologies in the modification of textile materials. Practical knowledge in working with low-pressure and atmospheric plasma systems for targeted treatments of textile materials. The competence and ability of independent action by applying low-temperature plasma technology in textile and other industries.

The aim of the course is that the students acquire practical and theoretical knowledge of designing nonwoven fabrics used in different fields.

The chapter to be emphasized are the following: The types and fields of usage of nonwoven fabric. Raw materials for nonwoven fabric manufacturing. The basic functions of nonwoven fabric. Manufacturing technologies of nonwoven fabrics. Isotropic and unisotropic structures of nonwoven fabric. Structures and technical-technological parameters of webs made by mechanical, aerodynamical as well as spunbond web forming processes. Methods of web bonding. Composite structures based on nonwoven fabrics.


The aim of the course

Scientific knowledge of the comfort phenomenon and comfort mechanism, their factors and elements. Knowledge of contemporary trends in the development of test methods and the evaluation of the possibility of complex and not easily measurable textile performances, such as clothing comfort.
