Measuring information on textile productsthat we could not measure until now, we’d like todisseminate textile products which makes our livesmore comfortable.Outlook for students after graduationNowadays,light sensors and measuring instrumentsare found easily around us. Studying this theme,applying “light” to textile products, students mightbecome those who can be successful in the society.Outlook for researchTextiles are used in all aspects of “clothing” and“housing”. On another front, in the IoT society, smarttextiles (also called intelligent textiles, smart clothing)will be put into practical use through material, processdevelopment, and implementation. We believe thatthe fusion of textile engineering, textile engineering,energy, electronic communication, and other fields ofstudy will lead to development and create new things.Outlook for students after graduationI hope that graduates will not only specialize in textileengineering, including textile materials, technologies,applications, but also have a global view andcommunication skills through their active learning.Department of 先進繊維・感性工学科Advanced Textile andKansei EngineeringDepartment of Advanced Textile andKansei EngineeringProfessorKoyamaAssociatereceived Ph.

Her majoristextile engineering, and now herresearch topics are focused onthree-smartdimensional textiles.fromtextilesandWe wear clothes for a variety of expects, such as beauty, assistance in bodytemperature regulation, or body protection. However, when going back andforth from outdoors in the hot sun to a cool room, there is a possibility that itmay cause poor physical conditions due to the drastic temperaturedifference. Developing a kind of personal thermal management textile isconsidered to be a useful way to mitigate them. Therefore, our laboratory isinvestigating wearable and temperature-controlled smart textiles. We arealso working on the developments of wearable power-generating smarttextiles and textiles with a three-dimensional structure through structuraldesign.Using FBG sensors, a highly sensitive optical fiber type strainsensor, we are developing a system that can simultaneouslymeasure multiple biological signals. In the future, we aim todevelop products as user friendly smart textiles.We are also developing a 3D evaluation method for themoisture movement properties within textile products using anear-infrared camera. In the future, high-performance productsdeveloped by domestic manufacturers will be properlyevaluated worldwide.Left : Wristband type multi vital sign prototype sensorRight : Embedded of FBG sensor into textile productsLeft : Appearance of the NIR-image measurement systemRight : Image of water moving through a textile productA knitting fabric that can generate electricity by lapping for powering led bulbThree-dimensional-structured textiles先進繊維・感性工学科Application of new fiber productsto the measurement fieldSmart textiles to enrich our lives
