Advanced textiles do far more than cover and decorate. They filter, protect, sense, heal and reinforce. Our advanced textiles consulting helps companies choose the right fibers, structures and finishes to hit demanding performance targets.
Dr. Parachuru brings decades of research in fiber science and textile engineering, supported by a global network of specialists in nonwovens, composites, coatings and functional finishes.
