Learning outcomes |
1. Know the origin and production processes of textile fibers.
2.Caracterisation of the properties of diverse fibres.
3.Relate these properties to the performance of materials in several applications.
4.Quantitatived analysis of blends of fibres and analysis of labels (fibrous composition).
5.Promote an attitude of curiosity about materials.
The student must be able to:
1.Forecast the behavior of fibres in several applications and propose fibrous compositions in function of specific applications. 2.Research and analyse technical information about textile materials commercially available.
3.Identify unknown textile fibres.
4.Make labels of fibrous composition and products maintenance according to legal and technical criteria.

Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
At theoretical classes, contents are exposed and simple experiences are made to show basic morphological and physic properties of the fibres. Based on the analysis of principal application of fibres, students and professor relate the properties of the materials to their performance. At practice classes, the students make exercises to analyse and apply the theoretic contents, to identify and manipulate materials and to develop work about specific applications of the textile materials. The students are encouraged to bring to class interesting and innovative samples of materials, promoting this way discussion and understanding about materials for fashion. The evaluation comprises one written exam (60% of the final classification) and theoretic-practical works (30%). The participation at class, considering the number and interest of samples brought to class, contributes on 10% of the classification. The students obtaining 6 values are allowed to do a re-exam.
