Innovative Textiles Project Competition Results Announced

by Suzan Özdemir | Nov 18, 2021

The "Innovative Technologies and Technical Textiles" project competition, which allows students studying Textile Engineering to present their technical and innovative perspectives, was evaluated by the project committee and announced. In the project competition organized with the contributions of Tepar Tekstil, Inovenso and Areka, scholarships will be given to the students who are entitled to a degree.

In the competition, the results of which were announced, ITU Textile Engineering 3rd student İbrahim Işık was deemed worthy of the Jury Honorable Mention Award. Our student stated that he aimed to develop a texturing method by considering the thermal properties of acrylic filament in his project titled "Application of Texturing to Acrylic Filament Yarn". In this regard, he proposed that the bonds between polymer chains are destroyed by using 100 °C steam in the heating process of acrylic filament yarn for texturing purposes and texturing processes can be carried out easily.

İTÜ Faculty of Textile Technologies and Design

Textile Engineering Department of Istanbul Technical University (İTÜ) is the first and the single one offering textile engineering education in Istanbul, and also comes first among the top textile engineering schools in Turkey. Its history could be traced back to 1955; the year in which the textile division was established in the body of Mechanical Engineering. The school gained its current name and independent status in 1983. Therefore, it is obvious that the Textile Engineering Department is fairly new compared to the history of İTÜ stretching back to 240 years.
