About the Journal

Trends in Knowledge: Textile Research is a peer-reviewed journal dedicated to publishing high-quality original research articles, comprehensive reviews, and selected high-impact reprints in the domain of textile science, engineering, design, and management. The journal emphasizes studies that provide quantitative insights, mechanistic understanding, and advanced characterization of textile materials, structures, and systems, alongside innovative processing, functionalization, and application-driven development. It serves a platform for interdisciplinary research integrating fiber and polymer engineering, textile composites, smart and functional textiles, textile processing technologies, material modelling and simulation, fashion technology, and sustainable practices, fostering both fundamental discoveries and translational applications across the global textile and apparel value chain.

Published half-yearly, the journal is available in both print and electronic formats, ensuring wide accessibility to the research community.

Scope:

The journal welcomes high-quality submissions in all aspects of research in textile. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to:

  • Textile materials: Fibers, yarns, fabrics, and finished apparel.
  • Textile- and fiber-based composites: advanced functional and structural composites for industrial applications.
  • Technical textiles: protective textiles, medical textiles, smart textiles, biotextiles, and performance-driven fabrics.
