A biodegradable polylactic acid–polybutylene adipate terephthalate <span>–</span> starch polymer blend for geotextile applications Open
Geotextiles are typically used to stabilize steep earthen structures to prevent landslides. Usually, such geotextiles are made from petrol‐based polymers (such as polypropylene), but the use of biodegradable geotextiles seems to have speci…

Controlled surface acetylation of cellulosics to tune biodegradability – expanding their use towards conventional plastics Open
Low DS spatioselective acetylation of paper shows control over biodegradability, without bulk modification of the fibres.

Effect of fiber orientation on the mechanical properties of a biodegradable composite made from lyocell‐fiber reinforced polybutylene adipate terephthalate Open
Polymer waste in the environment is a more and more serious problem for nature. Therefore, the industry is increasingly interested in the use of materials that are biodegradable. Polybutylene adipate terephthalate (PBAT) belongs to the gro…

Natural Fiber Reinforced Shoe Midsoles with Balanced Stiffness/Damping Behavior Open
The comfort of walking depends heavily on the shoes used. Consequently, the midsole of shoes is designed in such a way that it can dampen force peaks during walking. This significantly increases the overall wellness during walking. Therefo…

Solvent blends for selective elastane dissolution and recovery from mixed polyamide fabrics Open
The textile industry faces significant challenges in recycling of fibres from clothes due to the complex blends of natural and synthetic polymers that are used in their production. One of the challenges is the inclusion of elastane, that i…

Effect of fiber orientation and fiber volume fraction on the mechanical properties of all‐polyamide composites Open
Thermoplastic all‐polymer composites (with reinforcing fibers and matrix material made of the same material) have attracted strong interest in recent years, because they provide big potential in recycling after usage over the traditional c…

An experimental study of oily wastewater treatment in a humidification–dehumidification system with bubble column humidifier Open
Vast amounts of oily wastewater are byproducts of the petrochemical and the shipping industry and to this day frequently discharged into water bodies either without or after insufficient treatment. To alleviate the resulting pollution, wat…

A possible trigger for a wave-function collapse Open
The measurement problem is usually analysed with the quantum decoherence or wave-function collapse theory. Both theories seem to be equivalent with respect to experiments. The trigger/reason for a wave-function collapse is not clearly defi…

Quantification of aniline and N-methylaniline in indigo Open
Aniline and N-methylaniline are common contaminants in commercially produced indigo. It is known, that commercially produced indigo contains up to 0.6% aniline and 0.4% N-methylaniline by weight and indigo dye shows a small mutagenic effec…

Extraction of cellulose fibers from flax and hemp: a review Open
The paper is a review on the extraction processes of cellulosic fibers from flax and hemp. The two lignocellulosic crops have a long history of use by humans for extraction of the bast fibers among other purposes. The utility of bast fiber…
View article: Properties of Lyocell-polypropylene composites
Properties of Lyocell-polypropylene composites Open
High performance and lightweight composites were prepared by the thermoforming of special source materials, consisting of intermingled polypropylene and Lyocell fibres. The fibres were arranged either parallel in form of fibre slivers or t…
View article: Effect of fibre orientation on the mechanical properties of polypropylene–lyocell composites
Effect of fibre orientation on the mechanical properties of polypropylene–lyocell composites Open
Natural fibre reinforced plant structures are widely used in nature. These plant structures combine light weight with superior mechanical properties. The fibre orientations in plants are optimized to the occurring forces, especially to the…
