  1. 1. 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

  3. 2. A novel and feasible material recycling technique for end-of-life textiles as All-Cellulose Composites (ACCs)

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

    Author : Belinda Johansson; [2021]
    Keywords : all-cellulose composites; end-of-life textiles; denim fabrics; ionic liquid; mechanical properties; sustainability;

    Abstract : Today’s consumption of textiles generates a large volume of textile waste. Therefore, it is needed to find solutions to re-use the textile waste rather recycling fibers into new fibers. Research using pre- and post-consumer textiles in composites is ongoing and an interesting direction. READ MORE
