Prof. Dr. Banu Nergis and Prof. Dr. Cevza Candan's project is entitled to be supported.

Prof. Dr. Banu Nergis and Prof. Dr. Cevza Candan's TÜBİTAK 1505 project titled "Blackout (Lightproof) Fabric Design Made of Hollow (C-section) Bicomponent Filament Yarns with Improved Acoustic Properties," which was prepared with Küçükçalık Textile as part of the University-Industry Cooperation Program, was entitled to support. 

Within the scope of this project, it is aimed to develop “blackout” (light-proof) woven fabrics with improved acoustic properties by using synthetic yarns produced from bicomponent fibers of different cross-sections, especially in the side-by-side hollow section (C section). In addition, the importance of providing data and experience on the product and production processes required for the development of environmentally friendly acoustic blackout woven fabric structures with the use of recycled PET within the scope of the project is emphasized.

We congratulate our esteemed faculty members and wish them continued success.

 

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.
