Research and development of protective clothing is a critical scientific field dedicated to ensuring human safety against various health and life-threatening risks. These studies encompass both theoretical and experimental aspects to create effective and functional protective textiles.

Protective Clothing Research:

• Conduct theoretical and technological studies to develop textiles that protect against ballistic impact, electromagnetic radiation, and other health and life-threatening risks.
• Apply multi-scale numerical analysis of woven structures and flexible unidirectional composites.
• Assess the potential use of new materials such as polymethyl methacrylate, carbon nanotubes, and graphene derivatives in creating next-generation protective clothing.
• Develop technologies that ensure long-term protection from electromagnetic radiation by applying nanostructured compounds and chemical surface modification of fibers.

Research Methods:

• Theoretical Studies:
  • Analyze heat and mass transfer processes using multi-scale numerical models.
  • Investigate elasticity, strength, plasticity, and fracture phenomena in woven structures and flexible composites within real multilayer textile structures.
• Experimental Studies:
  • Develop smart textile materials and products by integrating wearable electronics.
  • Predict and test the functional properties of protective clothing.
  • Examine the ability of textile materials to transmit or alter electrical signals.

Practical Applications:

• Ballistic Vests:
  • Develop ballistic vests that provide high protective properties while being lightweight and comfortable to wear.
  • Test the functionality and ergonomics of vests to ensure maximum safety and comfort.
• Smart Protective Clothing:
  • Create smart protective clothing by integrating new materials, wearable electronics, and IT systems.
  • Aim to develop garments that not only protect but also offer additional features such as body condition monitoring.
