ESPB		7.0	Status
Condition		Completed pre-exam duties in course “Textile materials”	Облик условљености
The goal		The aim of the course is to provide basic theoretical and practical knowledge about the structure, properties, obtaining, and application of textile fibers and make students capable of its functional use in various areas of textile technology.
The outcome		Students will be able to use acquired knowledge as a theoretical and practical base in other areas of textile engineering. Students reach a knowledge level that enables them to take an active role in the production of chemical fibers, the textile industry as a whole, the textile raw materials trade, etc.
Contents
Contents of lectures		The course provides knowledge about the chemistry and technology of textile fibers, both natural and chemical fibers, with emphasis on the main class of fibers, their structure, properties, and possible application. The course covers the classification of textile fibers and their market potential, structure, and properties of the main class of fibers (natural and chemical cellulose fibers, keratin fibers, silk, chemical protein fibers, synthetic fibers, fibers from polymer mixtures, special-use fibers), influence of chemical and physical agents on their structure and properties, etc.
Contents of exercises		Laboratory practice covers the characterization of the structure and properties of the main class of fibers (natural and chemical cellulose fibers, keratin fibers, silk, chemical protein fibers, and synthetic fibers), as well as the influence of chemical and physical agents on their structure and properties.
