Sustainable filtering systems to reduce microfiber emissions from textiles during household laundering
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2023-07-12)
Article
Open AccessDuring laundering, synthetic textiles (polyester, polyamide, etc.) can release small fiber debris with a length of <5 mm. These are a type of microplastics (MPs), usually referred to as microfibers (MFs), which are considered ... -
Application of lavender-oil microcapsules to functionalized PET fibers
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2023-02-11)
Article
Open AccessSurface treatments for textile substrates have received significant attention from researchers around the world. Ozone and plasma treatments trigger a series of surface alterations in textile substrates that can improve ... -
Study of microcapsules of essential oils: drug delivery and particle characterization
(Crimson Publishers, 2022-09-07)
Article
Open AccessEssential Oils (EOs) are a substance composed of two phases. A liquid and volatile substance that has aromatic, antibacterial, antioxidant. The properties of EOs are not new to humanity. Indeed, these began to take a role ... -
Processing, mechanical and morphological properties of GTR modified by SBS copolymers
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2023-02-22)
Article
Open AccessIn this work, ground tire rubber (GTR) was thermo-mechanically treated in the presence of styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) copolymers. During preliminary investigation, the effects of different SBS copolymer grades, the ... -
Evaluation and rationale of the performance of several elastomeric composites incorporating devulcanized EPDM
(Elsevier, 2023-04-01)
Article
Open AccessEthylene Propylene Diene rubber (EPDM), is present in many applications. However, its crosslinked structure makes difficult its recycling. The use of devulcanized EPDM, (dEPDM) as a component of elastomeric composites, is ... -
A circular approach to discarded textiles: using depolymerized polyester as a precursor for the synthesis of antibacterial Cu(bdc) metal–organic frameworks
(2022-08-31)
Article
Open AccessWe report on the synthesis of Cu(bdc) metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) using discarded polyester fabrics as a raw material and on the evaluation of these MOFs as antibacterial coatings. Discarded PET (polyethylene terephthalate) ... -
Preparation of polyvinyl alcohol/graphene oxide composites and their adsorption properties
(2020)
Article
Open AccessThe polyvinyl alcohol/graphene oxide (PVA/GO) hydrogel was prepared. It was confirmed that the adsorption performance of polyvinyl alcohol/graphene oxide hydrogel composite material was improved, and it does not cause ... -
A sustainable approach for cotton bioscouring: reuse of the pectate lyase containing treatment bath
(2022-08)
Article
Open AccessEnzymatic scouring of cotton has established itself (slowly) as a green alternative to alkaline scouring in the textile industry, mostly due to more environmentally friendly processing at lower pH and temperatures and its ... -
