With this project, we aim to develop methods that are suitable for textile materials and can be tracked all the way to CO2 production. It also aims to provide a better understanding of the various parameters that influence biodegradability.
In this pre-normative study, we will develop analytical test methods for the determination of total organic fluorine (TOF) content, including the required extraction and purification method. The aim is to determine the TOF content using a combustion ion chromatography (CIC) technique.
In PRESERVE, we focus on developing tailored approaches to enhance the recyclability of multi layer materials, explore biodegradability as an end-of-life option, and promote versatility through upcycled secondary applications. Additionally, we are using novel methodologies to reduce the release of microplastics by applying functional finishing treatments.
Development of enzymatically degradable and recyclable PU dispersions (PUD) and PU coatings. These innovative coatings enhance the recyclability of coated substrates, simplifying waste management and significantly reducing environmental burdens.
