The Fiber Science Program focuses on the study of fibrous materials and their use in a variety of conventional and non-conventional applications. Students become expert researchers in such areas as high-performance fibers and fiber-reinforced composites, detergency and surface chemistry, textile materials in geotechnical and biomedical applications, polymers for electronics and textile dye chemistry.  With the help of a special committee, each student in the field plans an individualized course of study linking their background and interests with the extensive educational resources of Cornell University. Core courses include:

• FSAD 6160: Rheology of Solids: Dynamic Mechanical Analysis of Fibers & Polymers
• FSAD 6200: Physical Properties of Fiber Forming Polymers and Fibers
• FSAD 6260: Advanced Textile Chemistry
• FSAD 6460: NanoTechnology of Fibers and Textiles
• FSAD 6860: Mechanics of Fibrous Assemblies and their Composites
• FSAD 6660: Fiber Formation Theory and Practice

A written thesis is required for completion of all graduate degrees inFiber Science & Apparel Design. Candidates for the Ph.D. require at least three years of full-time study beyond the master’s degree. Candidates for the M.S. usually complete their degree requirements within two years.
