Textiles have been the fastest growing waste stream in various countries for over a decade, leading to concerns over the negative impacts imposed on the environment. Over 75% of the total fabrics used for clothings are made of PET or PET/cotton blend, which cannot be mixed or woven together to form .....[更多]
The level of atmospheric CO2 has increased rapidly in the past decades, which has resulted in serious greenhouse effect. A cellulosic yarn, functionalised by amine containing molecules, has been developed to capture CO2 from the surrounding air. This project has developed cellulosic yarns with CO2 a.....[更多]
The traditional dyeing process require large water quantities, which adds in to the water pollution problem. Waterless dyeing methods cannot be widely adopted by the industry due to existing technological limitations. The project has developed a non-toxic 2-in-1 non-aqueous solvent medium (NASM) dye.....[更多]
With an increasing demand of wearable displays, various devices such as LED, OLED and optical fibres have been integrated into clothes. However, their high energy consumption and rigidity limit the applicability of various light-emitting devices in textiles. This project has developed a sustainable .....[更多]
This project demonstrates a solution to the treatment of textile dyeing wastewater that is both sustainable and economical. It enhances biological treatment through an innovative process that integrates taxonomy analysis and biodegradation performance to identify and cultivate the specialised anilin.....[更多]
