	abstract = {The process of thermo-mechanical fusing (TMF) is one of the major technological processes in the sewing industry. The
quality of the sewing article as a whole depends largely on the effective implementation of this process. The good
appearance of the finished product and the preservation of the shapes given during the operation of the product depend
on the proper choice of the parameters for the TMF. It is therefore important to carry out research to optimize this
process. On the other hand, new and different textile materials (TM) with more complex structure and multicomponent
composition  have  appeared  in  recent  years.  This  determines  the  different  properties  of  each  TM.  Therefore,  it  is
extremely important to conduct numerous preliminary studies and analyses to determine the specific effective values for
defining the TMF process for a particular type of TM. This is especially important namely for large-scale companies. In
the context of the above, it is of particular interest to study the TMF process for an innovative TM (with complex structure
and multicomponent composition) registered with a patent for an invention in recent years. The purpose of the present
work is to investigate and analyse the nature of the change in temperature between basic and adhesive TM in TMF of
innovative /complex in composition and structure/TM. As a result of the performed research and analysis, a method for
establishing continuous feedback with the processed textile materials at TMF has been proposed. The nature of the
temperature change of the treated innovative TM has been defined. The relationship between the time for conducting
the TMF process and the temperature of the pressing plate for the respective innovative TM has been established.},
