The term “sustainability” was defined in the late 1980s by the UN World Commission on Environment and Development as “meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future ...
A new reusable fabric that can deactivate both biological and chemical threats could revolutionize protective clothing. A team of researchers from Northwestern University (Il, USA) has developed a ...
Funded by the European Union, r-LightBioCom is working towards a paradigm shift where circularity is engineered from the very beginning, and becomes the principle that guides the solution. It brings ...
There's a breakthrough in the fight against waste: a self-repairing material that scientists claim has a usable lifespan of ...
The MAPICC 3D project (2011-2016) realized a process capable of producing net-shape preforms from topology-optimized, high-performance structural 3D thermoplastic textile composites. The final product ...
Polyester (PET) fabric is a versatile synthetic material with excellent abrasion, corrosion resistance, and light resistance. However, PET fabric is combustible, with a limiting oxygen index (LOI) of ...
Mechanical behaviors of a new class of composites made up of a 3D-textile core enclosed by two rubber layers, either reinforced or unreinforced, are investigated in this study to address the need for ...
