DITF - German Institutes of Textile and Fiber Research Denkendorf
The core tasks of the DITF include research and development in the entire spectrum of polymer synthesis, fiber and yarn spinning and nonwovens, as well as new matrix materials
DITF researchers are working on sustainable products and concepts with function-plus. Intelligent integrated production concepts enable products with short, local supply chains. Smart textiles detect the environment and react to it in a targeted manner. Through integrated sensors and/or actuators, textiles help to save energy, optimize processes and extend product life cycles. They support people in their everyday lives and thus sustainably improve the quality of life. Examples include smart homes, smart neighborhoods and smart cities, living walls and medical textiles.
