Symposium Scope/Topics
This symposium focuses on recent advances in fiber and textile materials spanning fundamental materials science, processing technologies, and emerging applications. The session aims to bring together researchers and practitioners working across chemistry, materials engineering, and applied sciences to share innovations that enable next-generation textile systems for sustainability, healthcare, electronics, and advanced manufacturing. This symposium is envisioned to provide a platform for interdisciplinary exchange on how advanced fiber materials can support future circular and high-performance material ecosystems.
Topics include (but are not limited to):
- Natural and synthetic fibers
- Non-woven applications
- Bio-derived and recycled materials
- Fiber chemistry and functionalization
- structure–property relationships
- Advanced manufacturing and finishing
- Smart and responsive textiles
- Circular materials strategies
