CETI - European Centre for Innovative textiles

CETI (European Centre for Innovative Textiles), is research Centre with following missions and objectivePréparationColloqueCETI-1 (Small)s:

  • To promote and accelerate research and innovation in the field of textile materials.
  • To promote and coordinate collaborations between companies and scientific actors,
  • To host and offer skills and equipments which are necessary for research and innovation.

 Since its beginning, the project of CETI has been approved by the French State and supported by UIT Nord (textile professional association for North of France), scientific partners (Universities, Engineering schools, Technical Centres) and companies. The Competition Cluster UP-TEX has labelised the project as a structuring tool for R&D. It is partially funded by the European Commission and the French administration (Ministry of Industry, District and City).

 The activities of CETI will be dedicated to research and innovation and will include operations as R&D, prototyping and micro-series production through 3 kinds of activities:

  • Owned research: To investigate innovative and advanced concepts, to improve knowledge and skills.
  • Collaborative research: To contribute to collaborative R&D research programs through the use of skilled staff and pilot equipments.
  • Private research : To participate in private R&D programs on request of customers.

Main axis of research which have been identified are : fibres and filaments (extrusion-compound, bi / tri-component filament, bio-polymers), innovative textile structures obtained through the combination of different technologies, design of dried structures for composites, functionalisation of textile materials, smart textiles, characterisation and predictive tools. The operations will start progressively as the equipments will be installed and started up from January 2012 to December 2012.

 CETI plan to be equipped with pilot facilities in the following technologies:

  • Extrusion and melt spinning of mono, bi and tri-component filaments or fibres,
  • Nonwovens facilities including drylaid (carded and airlay), spunlaid (spunbond and Meltblown) for web forming and needling, hydro-entangling, hot air oven and calendering for web consolidation,
  • Weaving, knitting and braiding,
  • Finishing and functionalisation facilities.

The versatility of each equipment, its availability in one single location and the ability of combination of several processes will greatly facilitate the emergency of innovative solutions.
