We are surrounded by textile fabrics every second of our daily life. Being produced in enormous amounts, these products were considered simple mechanical constructions for a long time. During the last few decades aspects of functional products and smart textiles directed more scientific attention towards a more profound understanding of the relations

The overall properties of a textile fabric structure are determined by a series of constructive parameters built in at different levels of material design. For example the wetting behaviour


As a result an enormous variability of designs can be chosen for a certain application. The best performance of a product will be achieved by appropriate choice of the right technical
