This book presents the latest theoretical and practical advances in textile and clothing research, with a focus on high-performance textile-based products such as composites, textile sensors, functional clothing, and the machinery and testing methods behind their development. Drawing from selected contributions to the AUTEX 2025 World Conference held in Dresden, this volume covers a wide range of topics related to the fiber development, production, investigation, nanofibres and smart textiles. Each chapter offers insights into current challenges and solutions across the textile value chain, blending experimental studies with conceptual frameworks to provide a balanced reference for researchers, engineers, and industry professionals.

This proceedings book is based on selected and reviewed contributions from the AUTEX 2025 World Conference, held on June 11–13, 2025, in Dresden, and specifically focuses on sustainability, chemistry, and finishing in the textile sector. It highlights innovative research on eco-friendly processes, advanced material development, and circular economy strategies. Topics include conductive textiles using carbon nanotube coatings, bio-based dyeing with wood extracts, UV modification of hemp fibers, and sustainable tanning methods. The volume also addresses ultrasonic washing for improved fastness, thermodynamic analysis of dyeing, environmentally responsible surface treatments, and polymer-based photonic textiles. Further sections explore bio-based coatings with nano-SiO₂, hybrid polymer matrices, and recycling approaches such as enzymatic degradation and elastane removal. By integrating sustainability intelligence, digital product passports, and energy-efficient finishing technologies, this book provides a comprehensive roadmap for advancing traceability, circularity, and environmental responsibility in textiles.

This proceedings book is based on selected and reviewed contributions from the AUTEX 2025 World Conference, held on June 11–13, 2025, in Dresden, and specifically focuses on structures and composites in textiles. It features research on advanced knitted, woven, and braided structures, hybrid yarns, and high-performance composites for technical, protective, and smart applications.

Textile Werkstoffe und Halbzeuge weisen ein extrem vielfältiges Eigenschaftspotenzial auf und sind häufig Träger und Treiber für innovative, ressourceneffiziente Leichtbau- und High-Tech-Anwendungen.

In this book, experts on textile technologies convey both general and specific information on various aspects of textile engineering, ready-made technologies, and textile chemistry. They describe the entire process chain from fiber materials to various yarn constructions, 2D and 3D textile constructions, preforms, and interface layer design. In addition, the authors introduce testing methods, shaping and simulation techniques for the characterization of and structural mechanics calculations on anisotropic, pliable high-performance textiles, including specific examples from the fields of fiber plastic composites, textile concrete and textile membranes. Readers will also be familiarized with the potential offered by increasingly employed textile structures, for instance in the fields of composite technology, construction technology, security technology and membrane technology.
