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 |
The curricular unit works with theoretical and practical-laboratory classes and the teaching and learning methodology will be student-centered.
The teacher, in theoretical classes, explains the contents of the curricular unit and presents examples and real facts for discussion, encouraging reflection. The practical-laboratory classes will take place in the Fiber Physical Testing Laboratory and in the spinning workshop, where the student will operate different equipment and carry out various experimental work within textile metrology and materials characterization.
Students must prepare, at the end of each experimental work, a written report where they must apply the knowledge acquired and scientifically discuss the results. The assessment comprises a written test (80% of the final grade) and practical work (20% of the final grade). Final exam
