Summary
Researchers investigated eco-sustainable surface treatments for polyamide (nylon) fabrics to reduce the shedding of synthetic microplastic fibres during household washing, aiming to cut a major source of marine microplastic pollution at its origin.
Polymers
The washing processes of synthetic clothes have been lately identified as a main source of microplastic pollution in marine environment. During a common washing process, synthetic fabrics undergo mechanical and chemical stresses that induce the detachment of...
