1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

In 2011 the Centre for Textile Science and Technology (2C2T) has been involved worldwide in the development of

textile and clothing science and technology, with interest in subjects that are more relevant to the industry’s

competitiveness. In a broad sense, it can be referred that those subjects are related with Advanced Materials and

Structures, Technical and Functional Textiles, Design and Quick Response Strategies. Therefore the goals are

centred in the development of innovative solutions in strategic and emergent areas involving the textile chain:

• Development of new materials /structures/ products

• Innovative and improved manufacturing processes, methods, equipments and integrated systems

• Development of supporting technologies to materials/product engineering

• Development of new design methodologies, management and product marketing

In the field of materials/structures/product innovation, the research projects are mainly oriented towards the design

and development of functional/multifunctional textiles (smart textiles): reactive (bio-functional textiles), active

(self-regulating textiles) and interactive (electronic textiles) textiles applied to the Protection, Automotive,

Construction, Health (Medical and Well-being) and Social Inclusion sectors.

In the area of innovative and flexible production processes, the research projects are mainly focused in the knitting

and sewing processes, enzymatic processes, micro encapsulation, plasma and 3D preforms, concerning the

development of equipments, processes and systems for monitoring and real-time process control devices to impart

quality and productivity.

In the supporting technologies area for product engineering the research projects are essentially oriented to the

development of equipment to evaluate or improve materials/products quality and properties, as well as, to design

and engineer new products.

Concerning new management methodologies, design and marketing, the projects are mainly focused on methods

and integrated systems for new and high added-value products design and on the conception of new market labels,

innovative in terms of design, materials, production technologies and process management (design / production /

distribution / retailing) .

The great majority of projects is developed in collaborative partnerships with other research units, institutions and

enterprises. This approach significantly contributed to develop synergies and stimulate research, carried out using

internal resources and external financing resulting from national and international funded projects.

The activity of the unit in 2011 can be quantified by the following indicators:

1 book and 5 chapters of books, 36 papers in international journals, 19 papers in conference proceedings, 50

communications in international conferences, 6 organization of seminars and conferences, 4 doctoral theses

concluded, 27 doctoral theses in progress, 6 patents, supported by 44 funded projects and other non funded projects

financed by the National Science and Technology Foundation (FCT) Unit funding.

2. UNIT STRUCTURE AND ORGANIZATION

The 2C2T Centre started its activity in 1978, being the first unit of R&D in Portugal specialized in the development

of Science and Technology of textile materials and processes. Research activity is organized in three research

groups:

• Textile Physics (coordinated by the Principal Investigator Rosa Maria Vasconcelos),

• Textile Chemistry (coordinated by the Principal Investigator Maria Teresa Amorim),

• Management, Design and Marketing (coordinated by the Principal Investigator Raul Fangueiro).

The management structure of the Unit is composed by the Director (Unit Coordinator) assisted by a Vice- Director,

the Steering Committee and the Scientific Board. The 2C2T has an External Advisory Committee involving four

individualities which provide the Unit with competent and experienced opinions regarding Unit’s performance and

strategy.

The Director is responsible for representing the Unit, nominates the Principal Investigators of the Research groups

and, assisted by the Vice-Director, ensures the management activities.The Steering Committee, which comprises

the Director and the Principal Investigators of the Research groups, ensures the management of the Research

groups and is responsible for elaborating the annual reports, activity and budget plans. The Scientific Board

competences are mainly concerned with the approval of the activity reports and financial budget and decide on the

general organization of the Unit and on the research activities to be carried out within the Research groups.

The unit involves 32 PhD researchers working in the three above identified areas, 11 senior scientists and 21 junior

scientists. Several grant researchers are also involved. (See Annex I)

3. RESEARCH ACTIVITIES

The Unit adopts a multidisciplinary approach in carrying out research, involving multiple competences, concerning

materials, product, processes and equipment development, design, management and marketing. The research

activity is highly internationalized through a collaborative effort with the most important worldwide universities,

research centres, enterprises, individually or inside networks, connected with running projects or concerning

forthcoming goals. The participation of the Unit in international networks of experts, research institutions dealing

with intelligent and smart textiles and European standardisation concerning technical and functional textiles and

functionalisation of textiles, opens wide chances to be on the leading edge in what concerns innovation

opportunities.

The Textile Physics Research Group research activities are oriented towards the engineering design of innovative

high-tech multifunctional textiles integrating new materials and on the development of flexible and intelligent

processes control systems. The major emphasis is in the development of textile-based products integrating

electronic systems (e-textiles,i-textiles) for protection, safety and personal empowerment applications, textiles with

improved functionality (medical textiles) and textiles and clothing for physiological comfort. Established and

newly developed devices for monitoring and real-time control are being used on the study of the dynamic

behaviour and fault prediction of sewing and knitting processes. Similarly, developed textile support equipment is

being used to design, improve and evaluate materials and products properties, performance and behavior and to

establish performance standards for raw materials and yarn production based on the use of prediction and decision-

support tools. Studies on sensory analysis of textiles are also being conducted to assess handle and predict total

comfort properties.

The Textile Chemistry Research Group is organized under the concept of integrated research work covering

transversal fields of interest in the areas of textile polymers and textile processing. The major emphasis has been

fundamental knowledge in textile related sciences and industrial applications, towards development of

environmentally friendly finishing processes and functional products. Three main research areas are active:

Chemistry of Functional Textile Materials, Fibre Bioprocesses, Sustainable Processing and Finishing of Textile

Materials.

The Chemistry of Functional Textile Materials domain has been active in dye chemistry and adsorption (synthesis

of new catalysts for degradation of dyes in effluents), controlled delivery of substances (liposomes and

microcapsules), active textile materials (PCM-phase change materials) and reactive textiles (anti-bacterial textiles).

In what concerns the Fibre Bioprocesses area, intensive work has been produced regarding mechanisms of

enzyme’s application in textile processing, namely by modification of natural and synthetic fibrous polymers.

The Sustainable Processing and Finishing of Textile Materials area concerns plasmatic surface treatments in order

to radically change finishing processes and products, with high level of effects, higher durability, lower costs and

less products; electrochemical technologies, advanced oxidation processes and modification of membranes for

wastewater treatments are contributions to sustainable solutions for textile industry pollution problems;

development of new materials for reusable medical textiles with increased resistance to washing, drying,

sterilisation has also been the aim of important developments.

The Management, Design and Marketing Research Group has been undertaking research in the design and

marketing of fiber based products for a variety of applications. The core theme concerns the use of fibers and

fibrous structures as engineering materials. The main applications have been in concrete reinforcement, textile

reinforced composites for industrial applications (especially transport systems), in the fashion business and high

performance clothing for hygiene, healthcare and well-being, sports and protection.

The problems are dealt within the framework of a total product design approach. The design of new products is

seen in a business context and well integrated in the marketing strategy. These competences may concern visual

communication (colour, pattern, style, shape, etc.), tactile communication (handle) and functionalization leading to

performance and comfort properties of finished fibres and structures (2D/3D), depending on the applications

envisaged.

Market and emerging technologies analyses are performed (exploratory generation of ideas) in order to develop a

specification, a concept, a detailed design and a prototype and then the prototype is tested to evaluate its total

performance in meeting the requirements. CAD systems and simulation tools (e.g. FEA) are used for design.

The research work carried out by the Research Groups is supported by projects funded by the industry and national

or international research programmes. In the following table the on-going projects are described in brief.
