Technical textiles are technologies of the future for several sectors of strategic importance to our society: transport, defense, health, construction. Technical textiles are considered an essential component of tomorrow’s leading-edge products.

The program of the NSERC Industrial Research Chair in Innovative Technical Textiles focusses on three key the matics :

• Sustainable development, sustainable construction, re-use,
• Protection, safety and comfort, and toxicity, and
• Smart textiles.

The Chair head multi-partner technology watch projects and contract projects. Through multidisciplinary teams, the projects foster innovation and other activities that lead to productivity gains and increased competitiveness.

They commercialize patented products developed in partnership with CTT GROUP, a key partner of the Chair. As the founding members of the Chair, they rely on innovation as their corporate development strategy in a demanding business climate, collaborating along the entire value chain.

The involvement of the ÉCOLE DE TECHNOLOGIE SUPÉRIEURE, and particularly its Research Chair on Materials and Protective Equipment used in Occupational Health and Safety, will promote mutually beneficial networking between the two levels of post-secondary education in shared areas of research.
