New materials and new processes in textile production have led to a significant demand of appropriated analytical methods for characterization of certain functionality. Assessment of product quality for improved sustainability and circularity requires application of specific analytical methods. Widely used standard methods mainly address technical product quality and durability. Process development and quality determination in textile and fiber research and product development require specific analytical methods, which go beyond the available series of standard procedures. As an output of long-term textile and fiber research a high number of analytical methods for process and product characterization in textile chemical and textile physical research have been published in the scientific literature.

The authors present a comprehensive collection of proven methods for material and fiber characterization. The specialized analytical techniques focus on application in textile and fiber research and will be a valuable source and inspiration for applicable scientific methods in textile product characterization, quantification of achieved functionalization and modification both in research/teaching and industry. Emphasis of the presented methods is given to protocols which can be realized with use of standard equipment available in research and testing laboratories. In addition selected modern instrumental techniques are included.
