Research Laboratory of Technology and Safety of Textile Materials

The Research Laboratory of Technology and Safety of Textile Materials carries out research work in the field of dyeing and finishing of textile materials, as well as the design of knitted products.

Priority areas Research laboratory of technology and safety of textile materials:

  • development of new and improvement of traditional technologies of textile materials;
  • resource-saving technologies for chemical finishing of textile materials;
  • research on the safety of textile materials;
  • study of physical and mechanical properties, assessment of the quality of textile materials;
  • research into the possibility of obtaining new methods of joining and finishing textile parts.

In 2004-2022, the technical base and methodological foundations for conducting scientific research and testing of materials were created at the Scientific Research Institute of Textile and Light Industry. The organizational structure of the Scientific Research Institute of Textile and Light Industry includes Scientific Research Laboratory of Technology and Safety of Textile Materials and the Research Laboratory for the Design of Light Industry Products.

The main achievements of the Scientific Research Laboratory of Technology and Safety of Textile Materials: Based upon the results of scientific research, on the base of the research laboratories of technology and safety of textile materials under the guidance of ATU scientists, the funded topics were carried out:

  • «Development of innovative technologies for the creation of safe textile excipients based on water-soluble polymers» (grant of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Committee of Science) with funding 72,833,400 tenge;
  • «Creation of new textile auxiliaries based on water-soluble polymers for finishing textile materials» (NATR grant) with a funding volume of 9,991,000 tenge.

THE SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH LABORATORY FOR THE DESIGN OF LIGHT INDUSTRY PRODUCTS is technically equipped with a fleet of modern sewing equipment, computer equipment with appropriate software, automated systems for designing sewing products.

Priority directions of the Scientific Research Laboratory for the Design of Light Industry Products:

  • Development of methods for designing special clothing to protect against dangerous and harmful production factors based on the study of working conditions of workers;
  • Development of design methods for structural and technological solutions of modern clothing based on traditional costume;
  • Use of computer-aided design systems for products and technological processes.

Also in Scientific Research Laboratory for the Design of Light Industry Products, work is underway on the development and design of devices and installations that allow measuring the noise level passing through a package of materials intended for special clothing; installations that allow determining the heat-protective properties of materials and clothing packages; installations for studying the deformation of materials under cyclic exposure, installations that allow investigating the wear resistance of clothing material packages.
