The Textile field of study is aimed at students who wish to deepen and expand their knowledge in both the natural sciences and textile technology. Skills are taught to create intelligent, innovative processes as well as textile products and to accompany them until they are ready for production. The textile area in the Master's degree programme Textile Products is an ideal link between the two other majors Design and Clothing and spans the entire textile value chain, starting with the production of fibres and textiles, through their finishing, to their utilization. In order to meet today's requirements for the sustainable development of textile products, practical orientation is given in the studies to the possibilities of avoiding environmental pollution and recycling used textiles. In addition, modern analysis procedures, methods for the functionalization of textiles and the application of advanced manufacturing processes are taught in the technical area.

The application and design of integrated and lived management systems establishes the reference to the organization and control of technical processes.

Special polymer materials, so-called "high-performance fibers", are used in technical textiles with a wide range of applications. In addition to protective clothing, these include use in automotive components, composite materials or medical technology.
Production and processing determine the specific properties and provide information about potential fields of application.
In the course, structure and effect relationships are explained, with which the students gain the competence to classify fiber properties as a function of fiber structure. Strengths and weaknesses of individual fiber materials are compared, enabling students to compare high-performance fibers and select the optimal fiber for specific applications.

The functionality of technical textiles is indescribably large, since starting with the selection of fiber type or fiber blend, through the techniques of the individual production stages, to surface modification, a wide range of property profiles can be designed.
With the knowledge of high-performance fibers, requirement profiles of technical textiles are presented and explained in detail on the basis of practical orientation and design examples. Selection criteria as well as special test procedures for determining the technical properties of the textile are demonstrated and carried out. This enables our students to recognize and evaluate specific tasks of textiles for use e.g. as machine parts or as structural and civil engineering components.
Technical textiles belong to a highly innovative material and with their promising growth field offer an interesting field of activity both in the textile industry and in research.

Instrumental analysis as a method for the examination and identification of unknown substance samples is used, for example, for product controls, in research or environmental analysis and provides information about the type, concentration or quantity of the sample.
The individual instrumental analysis methods are considered with regard to different questions. Spectroscopic methods play a central role in the textile context. The knowledge of the perfect coordination of sample preparation, execution of the measurement method and interpretation of the spectra with regard to a meaningful result are taught in the course. The students are familiarized with the sample preparation as well as the interpretation of the spectra or pictorial representations in the context of lecture-accompanying exercises and are entrusted with the independent execution of analyses in order to consolidate and deepen their knowledge. Thus, after successful completion of the degree, the students are able to select and apply analytical procedures with regard to the research question.

Thanks to their versatile properties, textiles are conquering new areas of application every day. Braided structures are used in a wide range of applications and nowadays equally cover finest incorporeal medical applications, classic fashion articles but also high-strength personal or load safety devices as well as offshore applications. The desired product properties result in high demands on the production process and the resulting structure quality. As part of the research project, the yarn feeding process of the braided bobbins was analyzed in detail and a test guideline for the tension springs used in the bobbins was developed. The tension springs ensure consistent yarn tensions in the braiding process and are thus a core element for quality assurance in textile production.
