STOP Fragmented and Microplastic Textile Fibres

All textiles release "fragmeneted fibres" which in case of synthetic textiles can be called microplastics. We aim to engineer new textile structure to STOP FF.

All textiles release fibre fragments (microplastics). At @UniversityLeeds, we (@AVPalaciosMarin, @abduljabbarte, @taucif ) created bespoke polyester and cotton textiles from three yarn structures and quantified shed fragmented fibres & length distribution.https://t.co/PSmqzvNlN6.

Thank you @AVPalaciosMarin for desigining the display picture for the project.

STOP.FF is an exciting @EPSRC funded project at @UniversityLeeds (@UoLDesign) led by @taucif and in collaboration with Professor Anne Neville and Dr. Ali Ghanbarzadeh (@iFSLEEDS), and Dr. Dongmin Yang (@EdinburghUni).
