Collaborative Research Centre (CRC) 639 textile-reinforced, composite components for function-integrating
multi-material design in complex lightweight applications
The aim is to work out the scientific
basis and methods for the
development and use of innovative
textile composites for new composite
designs with advanced functional
integration.
