  1. 1. Risk assessment of non-intentionally added substances in polyester yarn made from recycled polyethylene terephthalate (PET)

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : Kristina Arnqvist; [2023]
    Keywords : r-PET; polyester yarn; NIAS; risk assessment;

    Abstract : Polyester is a synthetic material made from polyethylene terephthalate (PET), which is synthesised from fossil raw materials. Many clothing manufacturers are using polyester in their clothing, which, from an environmental perspective, creates a non-sustainable cycle. READ MORE

  3. 2. 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.

  4. 3. 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.

  5. 4. Shielding effect to the flammable fibres offered by inherently flame retardant fibres

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

    Author : Jasra Khan; [2019]
    Keywords : Inherently flame retardant fibres; flammable fibres; Flame; Non-woven fabric; knitted fabric;

    Abstract :  Flame retardant chemicals were used to make flammable fibres or fabrics flame retardant. Flame retardants protect the flammable material from fire by delaying or preventing the ignition process. The problem with flame retardants is unreliable durability when applied physically or bonded chemically on the surface of the fibre or fabric. READ MORE

  6. 5. Fabric conditioning for more gentle shredding : Pre-treatment for mechanical recycling of cotton and polyester

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

    Author : Therése Sjöblom; [2018]
    Keywords : Mechanical recycling; Reclaimed fibres; Shredding; Fibre length; Ring spinning; Rotor spinning; Cotton; Polyester; Sustainable development;

    Abstract : There is a growing need for fibres with increasing population. One way to solve this is to recycle the fibres from textile waste. In mechanical recycling by shredding the textiles are shredded back to fibrous form. The biggest problem with shredding is that it is a harsh process that reduces the fibre length and damages the fibre. READ MORE
