of Laboratory for Biomimetic Membranes and Textiles
The laboratory for Biomimetic Membranes and Textiles is active regarding research and development of innovative textile layers and systems. State of the art production processes and special finishing are applied on any textile like soft tissue to characterize the interaction to the human skin.
Our aim is to act as bridge between fundamental research and industry to support a sustainable development of innovative products.
