Course Description
This course focuses on how the future of textiles lies in the development of new materials, fibres and fabrics. Recent advances have been truly innovative where nature and science are being fused in a very positive way. Whether it’s the use of phosphorescent yarns that glow in the dark, LEDs woven into textiles changing patterns through sensors, or nanotechnology that makes it difficult for dirt to stick to fabrics, “materials technology” is making profound changes in textiles, fashion, accessories, architecture as well as the arts.
