The Sächsisches Textilforschungsinstitut e.V. (STFI) uses a highly sophisticated diagonal laying technique for the production of multi-axial mats made from glass or carbon fibres. This allows the fibres to be processed in the correct mesh without puncturing or damaging them. The aim of the project was the optimisation and further development of the diagonal laying technique in order to be able to process even sensitive thread materials gently and without damaging them.

The aim of the ReCarboSize project was the development of a concept for the resizing of recycled carbon fibres (rCF) and the adaptation of the sizings themselves for the selected thermoset (epoxy resin, polyurethane) and thermoplastic (polyamide, polyphenylene sulphide) resin systems.

The focus of this research project was set on the targeted and digital dyeing of textile surfaces through exposure to UV laser radiation. For this purpose, a pre-treated textile was provided with a light-sensitive layer, which was previously applied manually and exposed on a small scale.

The aim of the research project was the development of machines and processes for 3D printing on pre-stretched textiles with subsequent moulding effects.

The aim of the project was the development of an adaptive tracking and tracing assistance system based on technologies from the fields of Industrial Internet-of-Things, mobile computing, wireless communication and graphical low-code programming.

Textile finishing producers should be enabled to use mobile systems and matrix production strategies through a versatile shopfloor framework. Matrix production combines the advantages of make-to-order production (flexibility) and classic flow production (productivity) through adaptive and agile process chains. The project also integrates employees into this production strategy and creates the manufacturer-independent basis for cooperative matrix production.

The aim of the research project was the development of an innovative composite nonwoven based on kunit and meltblown technologies. The focus was set on increasing the efficiency and flexibility of nonwoven production in order to achieve higher performance and adaptability.

Within the scope of the project, efforts were focused on developing and integrating electrically conductive materials into elastic textiles. The aim was the creation of intelligent, stretchable surfaces, specifically intended for use in music therapy for individuals with profound multiple disabilities.

The aim of this research project was a comparison of the textile manufacturing processes weaving, warp knitting and knitting for the production of thermoregulating, three-dimensional spacer textiles.

Project aim was the development of sustainable pocket filters that perform as well as today's models.

The aim of the research project is to develop efficient, textile-based heating elements to reduce the heat flow from the interior into the outer shell of the building.

The aim of the research project was to develop user-friendly, knitted, single-layer, active laser protection gloves that are suitable for industrial and medical applications on laser systems in the spectral range of near-infrared radiation.

The aim of the project was the development of new working methods and criteria for determining and evaluating the functional life of biodegradable geosynthetics.

The aim was to merge innovative combinations of modern production technologies and sustainable design strategies in the form of a multifunctional play mat.

The aim of the research project was the development of an ecological hotmelt coating based on PLA (polylactide, polylactic acid) for technical textiles.

Currently, the industrial use of lightweight solutions often fails due to the high material and manufacturing costs. There are also unanswered questions about the ecological aspects of recycling and reuse. Innovative approaches were developed in the VliesComp project in this area of conflict.

The aim of the research project was to develop hydrolysis and chemical resistant hot melt adhesive composites for process air and air conditioning applications, taking into account hygiene requirements.

The research project focussed on the application of innovative copper dispersions, which were converted into conductive layers using conventional drying or sintering processes.

The aim of the "Raw material classification of recycled fibres" project was to produce yarn from used textiles with the lowest possible loss of properties by optimising the tearing processes in the treatment of textile waste in combination with adjustments to the spinning process.

The starting point of the project was the Covid 19 pandemic, which brought about a drastic change in our way of life. One of the most important protective measures was the wearing of face masks. These also serve as a general protection against airborne pathogens.
