Project description
The aim is to functionalise textile materials using biotechnology. The research will be based on a concerted multi-disciplinary approach, thereby creating the possibility to produce functionalised materials with unique properties and functional groups on textile fibres, and specific enzymatic surface modification to obtain functional nano-structured surfaces.
