About this journal AUTEX Research Journal is published by De Gruyter on behalf of the Association of Universities for Textiles (AUTEX)The AUTEX Research Journal (AUT) is a leading open access, peer reviewed scientific journal dedicated to textile science and technology. AUTEX Research Journal disseminates high-quality scientific knowledge related to textile-based materials and products, including topics like fibers, fibrous structures, functionalization, design, and manufacturing.Due to their unique properties and behaviour, fiber-based materials, in general, have substantially enlarged their range of applications in areas like health care and well-being, aeronautics and aerospace, defence, architecture, building and sports. In fact, the possibility of tuning their properties from nano to macro scale to obtain multifunctional and smart textiles is opening new opportunities to develop advanced solutions, traditional and non-traditional applicati ons.Aims and ScopeAutex Research Journal aims to publish high quality research in the following areas:Advanced Fibres and MaterialsInnovative Functional TextilesTechnical Textiles, Composites and MembranesProtective TextilesMedical Textiles, Tissue Engineering, ImplantsSmart, Interactive and Multifunctional TextilesTextile ProcessingInnovative Textile StructuresNanotechnology, Nanotextiles, ElectrospinningBiopolymers and BiotechnologySurface Functionalization and CoatingTextile and Clothing MachineryTextile Testing, Measuring TechnologyCAD/CAE-Technology, Mass CustomisationModelling and SimulationsComfort ScienceEcological and Environmental Textiles, Recycling and Life Cycle Analysis Article Processing Charges In order to sustain the publishing process, each article accepted for publication in AUTEX Research Journal is subject to an Article Processing Charge of €1500.
