Specialisation

Functional dyes - focus on the development of photochromic, thermochromic and chemochromic sensors, non-traditional adaptive design of textile products, development of special measuring technology.
Camouflage theory and camouflage textiles with performance in the UV-VIS-NIR-SWIR and FIR spectral regions.
Materials engineering - SMART materials, luminescent materials and their applications in various industries.
Microscopy - use of spectral methods in microscopic measurements, laser line confocal microscopy.
Textile finishing - finishing, printing and coating with effect pigments, development of new tests for colour fastness of textile materials.
Light engineering - the effect of spectral compositions and light intensity on materials, including chrome materials.
