1. 1. 3D Knit fabrics : optimizing spacer knit fabrics for comfort and breathability in infant products

   University essay from Högskolan i Borås/Akademin för textil, teknik och ekonomi

   Author : Julia Svensson; Hanna Halldorf; [2023]
   Keywords : Spacer fabric; knitting; warp knit; circular knit; textile testing; ProCad Warpknit; infant product; comfort; mechanical properties.;

   Abstract : In this study we looked into an existing textile baby stroller seat and investigated whether there can be any advantage in changing the material to a spacer fabric from perspectives such as functionality, comfort, and sustainability. The subject of 3D knitting, and advanced knitting is being researched more and more because of its versatility in producing and changing parameters of knitted high quality products, but there is a lack of studies done on comfort for children when it comes to knitted spacer fabrics and not many studies have been done on spacer fabrics used for baby seats in strollers or other types of seats for children.

3. 2. Impact of Organic Solvent Treatments on Physical and Sensorial Properties of Knitted Fabrics.

   University essay from Högskolan i Borås/Akademin för textil, teknik och ekonomi

   Author : Sara Isabel Zamora Lagos; [2023]
   Keywords : Innovation; Screen-printing; Knitted fabric; Polyester; Cotton; Organic Solvents; Cycle; Properties; Physical; Structure; Sensorial.;

   Abstract : Technologies that facilitate reusing and recycling printed textile products will contribute to achieving a circular textile industry. This project was done in collaboration with Vividye, a company developing a technology to create removable textile prints to be able to extend the lifespan of screen-printed textile products without affecting their quality.

4. 3. Study on Decolorization of Reactive-dyed Cotton through Fenton-oxidation as a Pre-treatment for Textile Recycling

   University essay from Högskolan i Borås/Akademin för textil, teknik och ekonomi

   Author : Elise Meurs; [2023]
   Keywords : Fenton-oxidation; advanced oxidation processes; decolorization; textile recycling; cotton; reactive dye;

   Abstract : In this master thesis, the feasibility of Fenton-oxidation for the decolorization of reactive dyed cotton is investigated as a potentially environmental-friendly preparatory treatment for mechanical/chemical recycling. Raw, knitted cotton is dyed with a black and a blue dye, whereafter preliminary tests are performed to investigate the influence of increasing Fenton- solution concentrations and different iron-sources on the efficiency of the discoloration, without carrying out complete optimization of the process-parameters.

5. 4. Development and Optimization of Near-infrared spectroscopy

   University essay from Högskolan i Borås/Akademin för textil, teknik och ekonomi

   Author : Amanda Hahlin; [2023]
   Keywords : Near-infrared spectroscopy; NIRS; Textile sorting; Principal component analysis; PCA; Post-consumer end-of-life textiles;

   Abstract : With the growing demand for sustainable options, the existing sorting capacities are limiting the potential for fiber-to-fiber recycling. With the help of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), automated sorting of textiles with high accuracy is possible due to the easy access for polymer identification. READ MORE

6. 5. Impact of textile structure on mechanical recyclability

   University essay from Högskolan i Borås/Akademin för textil, teknik och ekonomi

   Author : Linnéa Bengtsson Creaser; [2023]
   Keywords : Textile recycling; mechanical recycling; textile tearing; fiber length; recyclability;

   Abstract : This thesis investigates the impact of yarn and fabric structure on the mechanical recyclability of textile structures. It focuses on variations in yarn twist and form (single or plied) as well as fabric type (woven or knitted) and their respective constructions. READ MORE
