Research Centers

Developer and Director of the Center for Research on Textile Protection and Comfort
(T-PACC).

The establishment of T-PACC was the culmination of many years of effort to build College
of Textiles capabilities in comfort and protective clothing research to world-class status.

T-PACC is widely regarded as the most modern and complete facility in the world for
conducting research on comfort and protection from fabric to garment, and against a variety
of environmental exposures (chemical, biological, particulate, intense heat). The instrumented
manikins Pyro-Man and Coppelius are primary examples of powerful research capabilities
operated by the Center.

Funding generated by sponsored projects and testing programs maintain a complex
laboratory infrastructure and support staff of technicians and a research associate. T-PACC
infrastructure provides faculty and students with support and a coordinated environment for
research on issues related to textile comfort and protective performance. Many College and
University faculty, including internationally recognized adjunct professors W. P. Behnke, R.
Goldman and Karl-Heinz Umbach, participate in T-PACC research programs.

T-PACC research has made significant contributions to textile testing technology and to the
fundamental science of materials comfort and protection. It provides the basis for significant
graduate research efforts in these areas. The Center also provides much needed technical
assistance to the textile and apparel industries by conducting applied research projects in
comfort and protection evaluation for different industrial and governmental organizations.
