MC4
MC4 demonstrates how production waste and end-of-life composite materials can be recycled and reused in new applications, such as an aircraft rib made from 100 per cent recycled material.
Ladungstransfer-Elektrodensystem
Thanks to this development, clothing systems for flammable and potentially explosive atmospheres can now be assessed in a comprehensive and standardised manner.

Ti-VlieKe
At the STFI, titanium-based non-woven structures for implants were tested; these are to be embedded in a ceramic substrate using injection moulding to enable bone cells to integrate more effectively.
MeInPak
Reusable rather than single-use: Innovative, washable composite materials for infection control have been developed at the STFI. The result is protective gowns and head covers with high filtration performance and good water vapour permeability.
CoaBacCell
Bacterial cellulose for functional textiles: Functionalisation experts at the STFI have developed new coating and printing pastes for protection, decoration, conductivity and sensor technology.
Texsafe
In technical applications, surface structures subjected to mechanical stress are often monitored only at specific points or after the fact. This development presents a solution based on knitted structures.
EkoTex
EkoTex promotes the cross-border exchange of knowledge and the training of young professionals with practical skills. The aim is to strengthen cooperation in the field of sustainable textile production and academic education.
HuminTex
Researchers at the STFI have developed a bio-based and biodegradable textile composite for particle-filtering respirators, as well as a novel, environmentally friendly antiviral finish for it.
SefiPro
An eco-friendly, flame-retardant, abrasion-resistant and segmented protective coating, including a backing material, for fire-fighting clothing and for personal and occupational safety.
WIRreFa
As part of the WIR! funding programme, composite components and reinforcing bars made from recycled carbon fibres were developed at the STFI.
Wektrobio
New additives for charge stabilisation have been developed for electret-charged meltblown nonwovens made from biopolymers, and their mechanisms of action have been investigated.
aux3D
Auxetic materials expand perpendicular to the applied force rather than contracting. The STFI has now developed such structures for flat impact protection.
