Topics for ECPC 2027
Submissions for ECPC sessions may address:
Materials: development and testing | Innovative materials, fiber and textile technologies, performance testing, durability, fire/chemical resistance, biodegradables, nanomaterials, and standards development. |
Applied research | Field trials, end‑user studies, prototype development, industry collaboration, failure analysis, and real‑world performance evaluations. |
Smart solutions | Wearable sensors, e‑textiles, IoT‑enabled PPE, real‑time monitoring, data‑driven solutions, responsive systems, and advanced textile–electronics integration. |
Inclusivity in PPE | Fit and sizing systems, gender‑appropriate PPE, anthropometric diversity, accessibility for users with disabilities, pregnancy‑specific solutions, and cultural considerations. |
Circularity and Resilience | Recyclable materials, eco‑design, life‑cycle assessment, repairability, waste reduction, and resilient supply chain strategies for PPE. |
Ergonomics in PPE | Human factors, mobility analysis, dexterity and hand function, burden reduction, usability, and cognitive load in protective clothing use. |
Submissions for 14th international Manikin & Modelling Meeting (I3M) sessions may address:
Manikin Thermal Performance Studies | Thermal manikins, sweating manikins, heat transfer measurement, insulation benchmarking, and advanced experimental setups. Evaluation of indoor and vehicle climate. |
Thermal modeling and Clothing Studies | Computational modeling, human thermoregulation models, simulation of multilayer systems, microclimate analysis, and predictive design tools. |
Clothing and Materials Evaluation | Mechanical properties, comfort analysis, protective performance testing, lab‑to‑field comparisons, and new evaluation methodologies. |
PPE and Thermal Comfort | Heat stress reduction, breathability, moisture management, microclimate ventilation, and physiological responses to occupational heat exposure. |
Manikin, Modeling and Product Evaluation Studies | Hybrid methodologies combining manikins, modeling, and product testing; tool validation; comparative assessment methods. |
Optional: full papers
