The Conference

Innovations proliferate at every phase of the textile supply chain, from polymer production to final finished fabrics. The main drivers of change and innovation in textiles are: consumer demands for comfort and performance, advanced technologies influencing product and process innovations, ecological concerns and compliance with eco-regulations, safety, health and aesthetics.

In the development of fibres, yarns and fabrics, functional aspects such as anti-bacterial, anti-static, UV protective, thermal, or biodegradable functions are playing an increasingly important role. Smart polymeric materials have been used as tools to solve problems such as separation, drug delivery and sensing. Development of smart polymeric fibres is poised for take off and will certainly promise an exciting future. Electro conductive fibres have been incorporated in garments to protect the wearer from potentially harmful radiations. Nanotechnology is being utilized to impart permanent properties to fabrics and design of nanoscale materials engineering, will have an increasingly important impact on a number of sectors, including biotechnology, electronics, energy, and industrial products. Smart "e-type" textiles incorporate microelectronic components to detect faint sounds and pinpoint them on the battlefield. The new generation of textiles may be so high-tech and smart that they take you into outer space, allow you to communicate and even save your life.

The Conference will provide an opportunity to national and international experts from academic, research institutions and industry to discuss the emerging trends in polymers and textiles. Scientists and participants will share their leading edge research in the emerging fields. The poster session will give opportunity to young scientists to interact with leading scientists and industry leaders.

Department of Textile Technology, IIT Delhi

Indian Institute of Technology Delhi is one of the seven Institutes of Technology created as centres of excellence for higher training, research and development in science, engineering and technology in India, the others being at Kanpur, Kharagpur, Chennai, Mumbai, Guwahati and Roorkee.

The Textile Technology Department enjoys a special status in the country and has the distinction of being the only Textile Technology Department among the seven IITs. The Department aims to achieve excellence in education in Textile Technology through continuous upgradation of textile syllabi, conducting fundamental research in established and emerging technologies as well as applied/developmental research by closely interacting with the industry and thus provides highly competent technical manpower for the industry, R&D organisations and academic institutes.

The Department offers broad-based undergraduate and post-graduate programmes with various specializations in order to prepare the students for the career of their choice. Today, there are about 160 students studying for their B.Tech degree, about 70 students pursuing the M.Tech programmes and 25 research students registered for doctoral degree. As the result of careful planning and decades of development, the Department has risen to a position of international eminence. It has been actively interacting with the industry for well over a decade. Today the Department has achieved a preeminent status not only in teaching but also in sponsored research and industrial consultancy

The conference is dedicated to Prof. Pushpa Bajaj who was a committed teacher and a renowned scientist in the area of fiber science and technology.
