ABSTRACT :The effect of fiber type (cotton, polyester, and rayon), temperature, and use of detergent on the number of microfibers released during laundering of knitted fabrics were studied during accelerated laboratory washing (Launder-Ometer) and home laundering experiments.Polyester and cellulose-based fabrics all shed significant amounts of microfibers...
: AbstractInformation concerning the stages of sleep is one of the most important clues for determining the quality of a particular mattress.The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of mattress type on sleep quality by measuring skin temperature, by using a subjective mattress rating system, and through the use of...

Fabric Making Technologies
:SummaryFabric is the manufactured assembly of fibers and/or yarns.In the conversion of materials to fabrics, the fabric making technology has a great impact on the properties and appearance of the resulting fabrics.This chapter presents commonly used fabric manufacturing technologies and their recent developments including weaving, knitting, nonwoven...
: AbstractMechanical recycling of post-consumer polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles provides a sustainable, green, environmental friendly and cost-effective solution.In the present study, influence of blending recycled PET flakes with virgin PET on melt flow rate, boiling water shrinkage, tensile properties, melting behavior, crystalline behavior,...
: Abstract
A large number of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles are discarded daily after usage. Thus, plastic bottle recycling has elicited considerable attention in recent years. In this context, this study aims to quantify the environmental and economic impacts of blanket production from 100% recycled waste plastic bottles in China through a life...
: AbstractThis research is carried out to investigate the performance of concrete containing Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) bottle waste as fiber.PET bottle waste was chosen because it is being thrown after single use and cause environmental problem.One way to recycle wasted PET bottles is grinded into irregular fiber. Then, it was incorporate with the...
: Abstract
Plastic solid waste generation increases every year with the current consumption habit prevalent in the
society nowadays. The improper disposal of plastic has been a major concern to the environment as it is not easily
degradable. The issue of environmental pollution caused by Polyethylene Terephthalates (PET) has been
extensively discussed and...

Recent Advances in Polymer Fibers
: Introduction
Fibers are elongated objectswith a high axial ratio. This feature makes them very useful objects that can be utilized to make very functional materials for us human beings. As a result, billions of people use them every day. As a matter of fact, each of us would like to present ourselves in the best possibleway by wearing themost appealing...
: Abstract
This study demonstrates a rapid prototyping approach for fabricating and integrating porous hollow fibers (HFs) into
microfluidic device. Integration of HF can enhance mass transfer and recapitulate tubular shapes for tissue-engineered environments. We demonstrate the integration of single or multiple HFs, which can give the users the...
:Abstract
Polymeric hollow fiber (HF) membranes are commercially available, i.e. microfiltration and ultrafiltration cartridges or reverse
osmosis and gas separation modules, to be applied for separation purposes in industry, for instance to recover valuable raw
materials or products, or for the treatment of end-of-pipewastes to avoid environmental...
