Successful Completion of a Webinar Titled “Recent Progress in Textile Material Based Research”

It is our great pleasure to inform you that the Department of Textile Engineering successfully organized a webinar titled Recent Progress in Textile Material Based Research on 07.03.21. Around 65 students participated in the webinar.

In the keynote speech Dr. Abu Saifullah, Research Professor, School of Mechanical and Design Engineering, University of Portsmouth, UK highlighted the most modern and advanced trends of textile material-based research. He discussed numerous research projects including wound dressing, cracking behavior analysis of plastic boats, manufacturing of bottles from bio-synthesized materials, incorporation of modern materials in ICU equipment to address the problems of clogging in the exhalation tube from his personal experiences. He also focused the importance of 3D weaving and 3D knitting technology in composite material design and 3D printing in quick sample development. Finally, he briefly addressed the various fields of technical textiles including medical textile, geotextile applications etc. Last but not least, he discussed the admission process and preparation for post-graduation programs abroad. He also mentioned the immigration and job opportunities of textile engineers in foreign countries. It was very much helpful for the students of the department.

Prof. Dr. Md. Abdur Razzaque, Honorable Pro-Vice Chancellor, Green University of Bangladesh (GUB) was chief guest of the session. In his speech, he precisely summarized the skills required by any engineering student, especially a textile engineering student, to accept the challenges of the twenty-first century. He also reminded about the fast-changing nature of scientific fields and suggested to remain up-to-date about various modern researches and inventions.

The session was chaired by Prof. Dr. Nitai Chandra Sutradhar, Distinguished Professor and Chairperson, Dept. of Textile Engineering, Green University of Bangladesh. He mentioned that textile material-based research is a booming arena all over the world nowadays. He also discussed the importance of technical textiles in the coming days for our economic growth. He expressed his commitment to continue this type of sessions in future and direct the students towards advanced research and exploration of enormous potentialities of the textile sector.
