Overview

Area of Study / Keywords

Protective Clothing Material Degradation Predictive Model Textile Production Sustainability

Research

The primary area of Saiful's research corresponds to current issues encountered with protective clothing against heat and flame, which include materials aging, lack of comfort, and protection against toxic combustion gases. For instance, intense heat and other severe conditions sustained by protective clothing against heat and flame in service cause premature aging of the high-performance fibers; what makes it even more worrisome is that there are sometimes no visible clues before the loss in performance has reached a dangerous level.

As part of his doctoral research project, Saiful studies the aging behavior of fabrics used as an outer shell in protective clothing against heat and flame to better understand the mechanisms and kinetics of degradation resulting from exposure to conditions encountered in service. He will also develop predictive models of the residual performance of the fabrics as a result of use.
