In 2021, AATCC Interest Groups are launching a virtual networking and discussion series, to be held four times a year. AATCC members are invited to lead a session or attend at no cost. Topics included in the first series are Color Communication and LED Lighting; Stain/Soil Repellents and Resistance Finishes; and Fiber Fragment Pollution.

The Materials Interest Group was formed to stimulate and expand the collective knowledge and development of new materials related to the fiber and fiber products industries via innovative modifications of existing structures and/or creation of unique compositions of matter.
