Structure/activity relationships of two alginate lyases from Flavobacterium spp. and their potential application in detergents Open
Alginate is one of the most abundant marine polysaccharides and is found primarily in brown algae. Enzymes like alginate lyases have been extensively used to depolymerize alginate, breaking the glycosidic bonds through a β-elimination mech…

Chemical mapping of xyloglucan distribution and cellulose crystallinity in cotton textiles reveals novel enzymatic targets to improve clothing longevity Open
Pilling is a form of textile mechanical damage, forming fibrous bobbles on the surface of garments, resulting in premature disposal of clothing by consumers. However, our understanding on how the structural properties of the cellulosic mat…

Analysis of glycans in a Burnt-on/Baked-on (BoBo) model food soil using Microarray Polymer Profiling (MAPP) and immunofluorescence microscopy Open
Burning of food materials during cooking can increase the difficulty in removal from solid surfaces, forming residual food soils. Using molecular probe-based technologies, the aim of this work was to elucidate the composition and relative …

The impact of fabric conditioning products and lint filter pore size on airborne microfiber pollution arising from tumble drying Open
Vented tumble dryers release moist warm air from the drying process to the external environment, usually through pipework linking the appliance to a vent in an exterior wall. Although such dryers contain a lint filter to remove fibers from…

Polymers for dye transfer inhibition in laundry applications Open
The deposition of dyes onto lightly colored garments, or onto lighter sections of multicolored garments, during laundry results in fabric discoloration. In particular, there is a requirement to restrict indigo dye transfer between garments…

Microfiber release from real soiled consumer laundry and the impact of fabric care products and washing conditions Open
Fiber release during domestic textile washing is a cause of marine microplastic pollution, but better understanding of the magnitude of the issue and role of fabric care products, appliances and washing cycles is needed. Soiled consumer wa…
