FTB
Research Institute for Textile and Clothing

Hochschule Niederrhein. Your way.

A warm welcome to you!

On the homepage of the FTB you will find information about the institute, our publications of the last years and the latest news.

An overview of our research topics as well as current and completed projects can be found on the pages of the main research areas. There you will also find contact partner for technical questions or project proposals.

You can reach the individual professors and staff members via the list of people in the institute; general telephone numbers where you can reach the institute management, the administration or the rooms of the institute can be found on the contact page.

"The FTB was founded in 2009 as an in-institute of the Hochschule Niederrhein - University of Applied Sciences in order to enrich the education with current research questions for prospective engineers on the one hand, and at the same time to support the economy and society as a problem solver. Today, numerous professors from the Faculty of Textile and Clothing Technology and 30 academic employees work in this institute on assignments along the entire textile chain. The experience and enormous wealth of knowledge at the FTB offer unique conditions for paving the way for goal-oriented innovations. Strong networking within the university and also with external research institutes broadens the spectrum of possible fields of work beyond the Textile and Clothing Technology, without neglecting the core competencies. Every year, around 60 students take part in the research projects, expanding their knowledge beyond academic education and often getting to know their potential employers in a straightforward way."

Main Areas of Research

The Research Institute for Textile and Clothing (FTB) of the Hochschule Niederrhein was founded in 2005 as an in-institute of the Faculty of Textile and Clothing Technology to strengthen research at the university.

Altogether, numerous professors of the faculty together with academic staff and students conduct application-oriented research and development in four fields of knowledge under the umbrella of the FTB: Textile Structures, Product Development, Functionalization and Smart Textiles/Wearables. The scientists use the comprehensive range of machinery and equipment at the Niederrhein University of Applied Sciences for this purpose.

Research at FTB focuses mainly on the following areas:

The FTB introduces itself

The Research Institute for Textile and Clothing (FTB) of the Hochschule Niederrhein as an institute of the Faculty of Textile and Clothing Technology is a powerful and versatile development partner for the textile and clothing industry in Germany and abroad. In this way the university is not only actively involved in imparting textile specialist textile knowledge, but also in gaining new insights.

Our knowledge - your future

The region of "Mittlerer Niederrhein" covers the entire textile chain from raw materials to wearable garments. The Niederrhein University of Applied Sciences, with its faculty for textiles and clothing, is an important part of this as a guarantor for qualified young engineers. However, it sees its task not only in imparting knowledge, but also in creating new knowledge: With its Research Institute for Textile and Clothing (FTB), founded in 2005, the Niederrhein University of Applied Sciences also offers the textile and clothing industry a powerful and very versatile development partner.

The machinery used jointly with the Faculty of Textile and Clothing Technology enables the FTB to carry out research and transfer projects along the entire textile chain. The topics are - just like the industry - very diverse and range from electrically conductive textiles for use in sensor or luminescent textiles, stab protection systems, products with a barrier effect against thermal radiation or electrosmog up to questions of sustainable design. The scientists at the FTB are also working on developing textiles that fit perfectly. These investigations even include a 3D body scanner in order to be able to precisely measure the body shape of people.

In this way, the research institute represents an important bridge between education, science and industry. For industry, new developments are crucial if it is to stand their ground in global competition. However, if companies lack the time, know-how or technical facilities to drive innovations forward, they can find support at the FTB. At the same time, the research facility gives students at the university a glimpse into industrial practice by actively participating in industry-related research projects. In this way, the prospective engineers are introduced to scientific and creative work at an early stage. It is not uncommon for this to lead to initial contacts with future employers. This is a win-win situation for everyone involved.
