The International Textile Center in Agricultural Science Directory

The Fiber and Biopolymer Research Institute FBRI is equipped and staffed to conduct research and development activities ranging from smallscale testing through largescale manufacturing. Activities revolve around researching, testing, and evaluating natural and manmade fibers; production and evaluation of yarns and fabrics; alternative textile processing systems; dyeing and finishing; and special yarn and fabric treatments. A fundamental objective is to foster greater use of the natural fibers and increase textile manufacturing in Texas. As a facility of the Department of Plant and Soil Science within the College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources, FBRI occupies 110,000 square feet of space allowing researchers to conduct testing and evaluation from the raw fiber stage through the finished textile product. The facilities include a multimedia classroom, conference room and library, Biopolymer Research Laboratory, Materials Evaluation Laboratory, Short Staple Spinning Laboratory, Weaving Laboratory, Chemical Finishing Laboratory, Chemical Properties and Microscopy Laboratory, Flammability Laboratory, and Fabric Care Laboratory.
