Fibrous Structures and Their Impact on Textile Design

Prof. Ing. Jiří Militký is a university professor in the Department of Material Engineering, Faculty of Textile Engineering, Technical University of Liberec, Czech Republic. He is a renowned contributor in the field of Textile Sciences. His scientific activities are mainly in the areas of textile physics, textile material engineering, nanocomposites, and statistical data treatment. In 2018, he was recognized at AUTEX in recognition of his decades of high-quality contribution to textile sciences, famously known as “TEXTILE OSCAR.” Dr. Mohanapriya Venkataraman is a passionate textile material scientist, working as an assistant professor in the Department of Material Engineering, Faculty of Textile Engineering, at the Technical University of Liberec, Czech Republic. Her teaching and research areas include textile materials, thermodynamic analysis, micro-and nanoporous materials, heat transfer, polymers, and composites. She is a leader and team memberof multiple international research projects funded by the EU, the Technology Agency of the Czech Republic (TA ČR), and the Czech Science Foundation (GA ČR). Dr. Aravin Prince Periyasamy is working as a researcher in the Department of Bioproducts and Biosystems, Aalto University, Finland. His research areas include chromic materials (photochromic and thermochromic materials), metal coating (copper, nickel, silver) on various textile structures, chemical vapour deposition, sol-gel chemistry on the kinetics of chromic materials, synthesis of conductive silanes, surface modification by plasma, sustainable chemical processing on textiles, novel reactive dyes, recycling of polymers, quantification of microplastics and life cycle analysis of various textile materials.
