Marcin Barburski

An Associate Professor at the Faculty of Material Technologies and Textile Design at Łódź University of Technology, specializing in the design and modeling of advanced textile structures for technical applications. His extensive research focuses on innovative solutions in textiles, including technical fabrics, composites, and sustainable materials, supported by numerous national and international projects.

Since 2005, he has been employed at the Faculty of Material Technologies and Textile Design at the Institute of Architecture of Textiles at Lodz University of Technology. In 2007, he received a Ph.D. in Textile Engineering and a habilitation in 2016. Since 2019, he has had an Associate Professor position. His scientific activities include matters basically concerning the formation of textile structures for a specified purpose - dedicated textile structures, the modelling structure and properties of fabrics under mechanical loading, technical textiles, conveyor belts, steel fibres, knitted fabrics, and textile products made for composites, technical embroidery, 3D printed and composites knee orthosis, acoustic barrier textiles, and X-ray tomography used to analyse the textile structure.

He coordinated various projects, such as “Modelling of the bending rigidity of technical woven structures for pipe conveyor belts,” “Experimental study and modeling of steel fiber knitted fabrics for the forming of automotive glass” at Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, and “Practical design at the Lodz University of Technology - second-degree studies” co-financed by the EU. Currently, he is coordinating the EU Horizon Europe project “Sustainable Industrial Design of Textile Structures for Composites,” where partners are the University of Borås, RWTH Aachen University, University of Zaragoza, and Wademekum company.

He is also coordinating the National Science Centre (NCN) project “Sustainable design of hybrid (textile-materials) active conductive structures in frequency-selective surface systems (FSS) with dominant incident wave absorption coefficient or reflected beam directing capabilities of electromagnetic radiation (PEM)”.
