Functional textile materials and products for the needs of the military, doctors, hospitalists and civilians (ORTOKNIT)

 

Project no.: S-LU-24-5

Project description:

The project aims to develop manufacturing technologies and prototypes of specific products to meet the needs of military, civilian, medical and hospital personnel. The achieved results will contribute to the introduction of defense-oriented technologies for the rehabilitation and health restoration of military personnel in the Lithuanian and Ukrainian textile industry. Research will be carried out taking into account the needs of Ukraine and Lithuania for such tools and production possibilities in these countries.

Project funding:

Intergovernmental programme administrated by Research Council of Lithuania: Lithuania–Ukraine


Project results:

Project results:
– developed construction and laboratory technology of shielding knitted materials and products with exceptional comfort indicators and light compression;
