Sustainable Development

13.2K
As the human population continues to grow and use resources, we must be mindful of our planet’s natural limits. Sustainable development provides a pathway to maintain and improve human life now while also ensuring that future generations will have the resources that they need. The long-term success of sustainability efforts rests on understanding the interplay between human actions and ecological systems.

Types of Step-Growth Polymers: Polyesters

2.2K
The introduction of polyesters has brought major development to the textile industry. The wrinkle-free behavior of polyester blends has eliminated the need for starching and ironing clothes.
Polyesters are commonly prepared from terephthalic acid and ethylene glycol; the crude product is known as poly(ethylene terephthalate) or PET. However, polyesters are synthesized industrially by transesterification of dimethyl terephthalate with ethylene glycol at 150 °C. The two reactants and the...

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Textile Engineering
  • Sustainable Manufacturing

Background:

  • Growing demand for sustainable textiles necessitates evaluating recycled materials in fabric production.
  • Denim manufacturing faces challenges in balancing performance with environmental impact.
  • Recycled cotton integration requires robust methods for assessing fabric quality and suitability.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine optimal fabric structures for denim incorporating recycled cotton.
  • To apply advanced multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methods for fabric selection.
  • To evaluate fabric performance and sustainability criteria for recycled cotton denim.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a combined multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) approach.
  • Integrated the logarithm methodology of additive weights (LMAW) and double normalization-based multiple aggregation (DNMA) methods.
  • Considered 15 distinct performance and sustainability criteria for denim fabrics.

Main Results:

  • Ranked fabric alternatives based on the integrated MCDM outcomes.
  • Identified top-performing denim fabric structures containing recycled cotton.
  • Validated the alignment of top alternatives (A12, A5, A15) with predefined criterion orientations.

Conclusions:

  • The combined LMAW and DNMA approach effectively identifies optimal recycled cotton denim fabric structures.
  • The study demonstrates the efficacy of MCDM in balancing sustainability and performance in textile selection.
  • Findings provide guidance for selecting high-performance, sustainable denim fabrics with recycled content.
