The Technical Textiles Research Centre (TTRC) is taking the UK’s centuries-old textile heritage into the future, providing a boost to the economy. Based in a large suite of labs newly-equipped with advanced technology, it focusses on ways that textiles can be re-engineered so that they help to address serious global challenges, such as the need to reduce dependence on single-use plastics.
The Centre consists of an interdisciplinary team and is headed by Professor Parik Goswami. In the video, he talks about future research projects and the importance of conducting user-centric research to find real-life solutions to global problems.
