Subject 'General and Textile Chemistry'

Year:   2011/2012    2012/2013    2013/2014    2014/2015    2015/2016    

The main classes of organic compunds. Polymerization, polycondensation. Characteristic groups. Classification and properties of fibres. Ways of fibre processing: oxidation, reduction, dyeing, types of dye, bleaching, washing, surface active substances, mercerizing.

The aim of the course is
- to provide knowledge in the fields of organic chemistry, which are related to the theoretical foundation of textile fibers manufacture ( polymeric carbohydrates, polyesters, polyethers, polyamides etc.);
- to introduce the classifications and basics of manufacture of natural, artificial and synthetic fibres, and the basics of leather chemistry.

After completing the course students
- know the most essential classes of organic compounds, which are used to manufacture synthetic fibres;
- understand the essence of the chemical reactions in the fibre manufacturing processes (polymerization, polycondensation);
- are familiar with the classifications of fibres, their physical and chemical properties, the possibilities of application and the ways of processing.
