Objectives of PHD in Textile Chemistry
The prime objectives of this program are to impart a better education in selected subjects considered as mandatory in shaping the individual’s capacity to commence unbiased research; to develop a better knowledge of the students so that they could work upon to achieve their goals of the degree.
Program Coursework
Department of Textile Chemistry and Ecology is one of the constitutional units of Faculty of Textile Technology. The curriculum serves both educational and research purpose, amalgamating the modern, up to date world trends in the field of textile-chemical technologies and ecology. New educational curriculum and courses are based on undergraduate (B.Sc.), graduate (M.Sc.) and doctoral (Ph.D.) courses.
The doctoral program organizes and performs classes in the field of textile finishing, care, dyeing, printing and color measurement. Usage of up to date instruments, accessories and apparatus enable both lecture implementation and scientific research to be performed at the highest level in specialized laboratories.
Scientific expertise of the doctoral program is based on following disciplines: textile pretreatment, inter surface phenomena, textile surface modification, finishing and microwave processes, dyeing, printing, color measurement, system of color management, flammability of textile materials, textile care, and research of multifunctional effects and analysis of water involved in textile processes. These activities are mainly considered important in collaboration with Economy, in preparation of projects, performance of surveys, expertise and analysis in the aim of organizing specialized seminars on newest research and accomplishments in the field of textile chemical technology and ecology.
The course program concentrates on the following:
Spinning, as well as woven and non-woven fabric technologies, Cotton – measurement, classification, technology, Texturing and pneumatic looping of non-woven, Development of ecological non-woven fabric technologies, Application textile waste in production,
Modeling of thermal and physiological comfort of clothes, Technical, technological and design services and Trainings, counseling as well as technical & technological expertise on quality of various fabrics.
Educational Prerequisites:
The candidates are required to have completed a baccalaureate degree in the United States or have attained a comparable non-U.S. degree/diploma from a recognized foreign institution of higher education at the time of matriculation. Achievement of GRE (general test) or MAT scores (English option). For International students, a minimum TOEFL score is 500 for admission and 550 for a teaching assistantship award in US.
Employment Prospective:
The employment prospective of this field is very bright and many doctoral degree holders may get employment in the field of Textile industry in different departments such as spinning, Texturing, Technical, technological and design services. They can also work in the research field such as Trainings, counseling as well as technical & technological expertise.
Department of Textile Chemistry and Ecology was directly involved in the foundation process of Textile Faculty. As one of the constitutional units of Faculty of Textile Technology, department presents both educational and research core, acting in accordance with modern, up to date world trends in the field of textile-chemical technologies and ecology. New educational curriculum and courses, formed by the department heads of courses and employees are compatible with the Bologna Declaration, based on undergraduate (B.Sc.), graduate (M.Sc.) and doctoral (Ph.D.) courses.
Department organizes and performs classes in the field of textile finishing, care, dyeing, printing and colour measurement. Department is equipped with up to date instruments, accessories and apparatus which enable both lecture implementation and scientific research to be performed at the highest level in specialized laboratories.
Equality of the program with European and world standards, as well as coordination and cooperation with European and American universities ensures student exchange and ability of taking certain courses abroad as well as studies continuation outside Croatia. Such an organization allows connection and cooperation among department professors, while performing magistrate and doctoral thesis, publishing scientific papers in frequently cited journals as well as whilst realizing scientific projects.
Scientific expertise of the department is based on following disciplines: textile pretreatment, inter surface phenomena, textile surface modification, finishing and microwave processes, dyeing, printing, color measurement, system of color management, flammability of textile materials, textile care, research of multifunctional effects and analysis of water involved in textile processes considered from an ecological aspect. These activities are mainly materialized within the frame of scientific research projects, technological development projects or international cooperation within European and bilateral projects.
Important activity of the department is collaboration with Economy on course development, preparation of elaborates and projects, performance of surveys, expertise and analysis in the aim of organizing specialized seminars on newest research and accomplishments in the field of textile chemical technology and ecology. Furthermore, these activities include participation in the field of the standardization process, carried out within the frame of the tasks performed by the Croatian Standards Institute and other institutions.
Department is equipped with modern instruments and apparatus, which enable performance of both courses, as well as scientific and research activities at the highest level in specialized laboratories: Technological laboratory, Laboratory for Textile Chemistry and Ecology, Physical-chemical Laboratory, Laboratory for Spectrophotometer Measurements and Color Determination, Investigations of Materials Flammability Properties Laboratory.
Spinning, as well as woven and non-woven fabric technologies, including the design and development of innovative yarns, textiles, non-woven's and composites used as:
Technical, technological and design services in the area of:
Trainings, counselling as well as technical & technological expertise on:
