About The Event

About The Event

This international workshop aims to highlight the interdisciplinary connections between mathematics and materials science behind innovative and traditional fabrics. The geometry and topology of fabric-like materials, which we define here as materials created by entangled strands or threads, appear to be directly related to some of their physical properties at several scales. Thus, a better understanding of the structure and functions of these entangled frameworks, as well as the relationships between them, is targeted through the advances and challenges that will be shared during the various talks of this workshop.
