Short description of company
The Institute for Textile Chemistry and Chemical Fibers (ITCF Denkendorf) does conduct research in the field of
manufacturing and modification of synthestic fibers. The institute has competence in the synthesis of polymers for
fiber spinning and in all important spinning technologies.
1. Profile: RTD: Processing of nano-scaled particles in materials generating new properties
The strategy from molecule to material is an important feature of ITCF research. The development of new
materials or the modification with nano-scaled particles of already existing materials is based on the chemical
know-how at the institute. Important current research topics are the modification of fiber polymers like polyester,
polyamides, polypropylene and polyurethane with nano-scaled particles generating higher strength, better
dyeability,flame retardant,...
Effective dispersion of nano-scaled particles is difficult in many industrial applications. Stabilization could be
achieved by conformity of particle surface and surrounding matrix.
