Assoc. Prof. Dr. Polona Dobnik Dubrovski
She is an expert in designing and constructing fabrics for different applications (for clothing, interior, and technical purposes). In the last period, she is mainly focused on developing auxetic structures and their mechanical properties. As part of her scientific research work, she published scientific articles dealing with:
- development of woven fabrics as protection against solar radiation in the range of 210-1200 nm;
- development of non-woven textiles with geometry of rotating cells to achieve auxetic properties of the material;
- analysis of breaking strength of cotton ring-spun yarns to detect differences between bobbins, within bobbins, between manufacturers, between test devices, and according to testing conditions;
- the influence of macroporosity and construction parameters of woven fabrics on protection against UV radiation;
- the effect of porosity of non-woven fabrics on vertical wicking rate.
