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. Topics include multiscale and finite element modeling, 3D spacer fabrics, auxetic fiber-reinforced materials, and textile-based sensors for pressure and strain measurement. The volume also addresses ballistic and stabbing resistance of warp interlock textiles, integration of actuators and energy networks into composites, and innovations in moisture management and thermal properties. By combining experimental studies, numerical simulations, and biologically inspired designs, this book provides insights into next-generation textile structures for enhanced functionality and durability.
