Learning outcomes |
The UC allows us to understand the chemistry of textile fibers, chemical processing and its effect on fibers. The student will be able to understand: the chemical and molecular structure of polymers and fibers, the behavior of different chemical agents, control parameters, and chemical pre-treatments. Thus, students should
1 Know the chemical and molecular structure, chemical composition and functional groups involved in the reactivity of textile fibers.
2 Be able to apply the appropriate experimental techniques to analyze the chemical properties of different fibers, related to the quality of materials, in the different stages of textile processing: Control parameters.
3 Know and be able to carry out the different textile chemical pre-treatments.
4 Acquire knowledge regarding the chemical composition and chemical properties of the most used artificial and synthetic fibers, molecular stability and degradation.
