Research & Development

Innovative research advancing the future of textiles

Besides our services for the clients we are also actively involved in research and development of innovative products based on advanced technologies. We develop textiles on the base of advanced technologies, affecting the world today.

Horizon Europe Projects

VUTCH s.r.o. Žilina, as an affiliated partner of Centexbel takes part in the Horizon Europe project AlChemiSSts.

The AlChemiSSts project focuses on Safe and Sustainable by Design (SSbD) innovative chemicals or materials to replace Substances of Very High Concern (SVHCs), including surfactants, plasticisers, and flame retardants in a range of products. Together with Centexbel we focuss on plasticisers used in sports mats.

Our Research Fields

🔬

Nanotechnologies

Even nanotechnologies can make great progress in the research. Nanotechnologies are a scientific discipline based on application of natural processes by means of which we can develop materials with unique properties.

  • Nanoparticle development
  • Functional textile coatings
  • Antimicrobial treatments
  • Enhanced durability
🧵

Technical Textiles

We develop new textiles designed for advanced practical applications. In the frame of the research we develop technical materials, textile chemistry technologies as well as nanotechnologies enabling to extend the range of new advanced technical textiles.

  • Industrial textiles
  • Protective textiles
  • High-performance materials
  • Specialized applications

Smart Textiles

It's only a matter of time before "smart" trend masters also the fashion industry. Trying to meet this trend we develop highly functional textiles representing an excellent base for textile products of new generation characterized by smart functions.

  • Conductive textiles
  • Temperature-responsive materials
  • Integrated technology fabrics
  • Functional fashion textiles

Our Innovation Focus

We focus on developing materials and technologies that:
