This study deals with pre-treatment of polyester with swelling agent followed by alkaline hydrolysis. Glycerine was selected as pre-treatment solvent with 15%and 25% concentration treated at 60C.

This study is about the effect of some mechanical properties on poly-cotton (PC) fabric produced by keeping cotton as constant warp and having cotton and PC blend in weft with different pick ratio. It ...

Researchers report using enzymes to separate blended cotton and polyester fabric, an advance that could lead to reduced textile waste. Ultimately, they hope their findings will lead to a more ...

Hard water causes polyester to shed far more microplastics, and only some fabrics benefit strongly from protective coatings, revealing why water chemistry and unseen textile finishes significantly ...

Researchers found they could separate blended cotton and polyester fabric using enzymes -- nature's tools for speeding chemical reactions. Ultimately, they hope their findings will lead to a more ...
