Advanced Materials for Clothing and Textile Engineering
Summary
Not relevant to microplastics — this is a special issue collection on advanced textile materials and clothing engineering, covering mechanical properties, thermal behaviour, and 3D garment modelling, with no direct microplastic pollution research.
This reprint focuses on the research of textile materials for conventional and protective clothing. More than ever, multidisciplinary research applied to the field of new textile materials and new techniques of processing and joining materials is needed. The main research topics of this Special Issue include research and development of new materials and the improvement of their properties, and the mechanical and thermal properties of yarns, materials and clothing. Simulations based on the physical and mechanical properties of fabrics for the purpose of prediction assessment of the appearance and behavior of clothing, as well as 3D virtual garment prototypes using 3D body models and involving 3D human-body scanning, are interesting and significant topics in the field of clothing engineering. The problem of microplastics that are produced during the manufacture or cleaning of synthetic textiles has also been investigated in this Special Issue.

Advanced Materials for Clothing and Textile Engineering
This special issue editorial introduces a collection of papers on advanced materials for clothing and textile engineering, highlighting the scope of the field including synthetic polymer fibers, performance textiles, and the engineering challenges in developing next-generation textile materials.
Advances in Thermoregulating Textiles: Materials, Mechanisms, and Applications
This review covers advances in temperature-regulating textiles, including materials with phase-change properties, radiative cooling fabrics, and smart fibers that respond to body heat. While not focused on microplastics, the review is relevant because synthetic textiles are a major source of microplastic fiber shedding during production, wearing, and washing. Understanding textile technology developments helps identify which new materials might reduce or increase microplastic pollution from clothing.
Microplastic pollution from textiles: A literature review
This review examines the current state of knowledge on microplastic pollution, focusing specifically on synthetic microfibre shedding from textiles during washing and the significance of this source for marine and freshwater contamination.
Research on Recycling Design of Clothing Textiles Based on Sustainable Development
This review examines sustainable design strategies for recycling and reusing clothing and textiles, covering the full lifecycle from design to end-of-life disposal. Textile recycling is relevant to microplastic pollution because synthetic fabrics like polyester and nylon shed microplastic fibers during washing.
Textile Fiber Pollution: Relating Textile Features to Fiber Release in Pilling Experiments
Researchers evaluated how physical, dynamic, and thermomechanical textile properties influence fiber release during pilling experiments, aiming to identify which fabric characteristics predict microplastic fiber shedding during normal garment wear.
