Professor Fabien SALAÜN, 48, has been appointed Director of the GEMTEX laboratory, a textile research facility attached to ENSAIT, in November 2024. This appointment marks an important step in the development and scientific direction of the laboratory, internationally recognized for its advances in textile engineering and industrial collaborations.
Fabien is an expert in chemical functionalization of textile materials, functional polymer engineering and textile comfort. He has a solid background in advanced textile technologies. His research focuses on surface treatments, formulation, chemical grafting, polymerization, spinning, heat and mass transfer, … He is also involved in the development of ecological and circular textile solutions, a key issue in the transition to a more sustainable economy.
The objectives of the project are to set up experimental, theoretical and numerical methodologies/tools for designing and developing multifunctional textile materials using an integrative multi-scale approach based on “multifunctionality” / “production, use”, combined with an eco-design approach. 8 themes have been identified :
Theme 1 : Human/materials interaction
Theme 2 : data sciences
Theme 3 : textile sensors and instrumentation
Theme 4 : chemical functionalization of textile materials
Theme 5 : textile polymer forming
Theme 6 : textile circular economy (recycled textiles, life cycle analysis, traceability)
Theme 7 : mechanics of fibrous and composite materials
Theme 8 : elaboration of textile and composite processes
