Advanced Materials for Clothing and Textile Engineering

Dear Colleagues,

Recently, there has been a significant increase in the research of textile materials, conventional, protective, smart, and intelligent clothing. This applies in particular to aspects of health protection and protection against the negative impact of the environment on human health. Research in the field of textile and clothing engineering, in addition to increasing the level of health protection, contributes to increasing the value of clothing. The price of clothing also includes the price of scientific research and expensive sophisticated materials. Therefore, more than ever, multidisciplinary research applied to the field of application of new textile materials and new techniques of processing and joining materials are needed. The main objective of this Special Issue includes but is not limited to advanced materials for clothing and their properties, design and computer construction of clothing, process parameters of textile and garment production, textile and garment production, principles and applications of joining techniques of garment using thermal connecting by conduction and convection, ultrasonic and high frequency techniques, wearable computers, conventional and protective clothing, smart textile and clothing, intelligent clothing, textile and clothing engineering, and test and measurement techniques in textile and clothing engineering.

I expect great interest in these new, modern topics and contributions from your research and knowledge, because of the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to the topics.
