Under the management of Prof. Dr. Michael R. Buchmeiser, ITCF Denkendorf conducts basic and application-oriented research along the textile production chain – from molecule to product. For this, the institute's focus is on the development of sustainable processes and materials on the basis of synthetic and natural polymers.

Among the institute's core competences are the synthesis of fiber polymers and fiber production using all important spinning methods and the finishing of textiles. The broad research portfolio of the ITCF is split into three fields of research. In addition, all internal and external research assignments are supported by the services rendered by the competence centre for analyses.
